Amanda Whaling is an amazing science illustrator!
New in #GSABulletin: Modern river deltas show surprising elevation patterns—those with protective coastlines tend to build larger platforms. https://t.co/hW52vL3b9A

Applying #physics concepts to cellular dynamics in the #pancreas suggests that pancreatic islets play a significant role in insulin release and that the calcium activation in beta cells is an example of a first order transition. 🔗 https://t.co/voKcEZT4cI

Finally, Pauline Delorme's (2018) delta experiments showing grain-size controlled slope breaks give a powerful tool for looking at delta profiles. https://t.co/YZzJVVs3cN

Some of my favorite papers: Wong and Parker (2006). I really dug into this paper for the first time because it is one of the few that directly estimates the exponent in bed material transport. Can it vary significantly from 1.5? Apparently so! https://t.co/sFTSuMK4QM

The pioneering predictor of fluvial bed-load transport rate proposed by Meyer-Peter and Müller in 1948 is still extensively used in basic research and engineering applications. A review of the basis...

The age distribution of the papers is always weighted toward younger papers. This year the median age was 4.5 years old. This median age has been remarkably consistent over time.

Just to give you an idea how large this high pressure area is over the Eastern US, there is not a cloud in the sky east of the Mississippi River, save for parts of Florida.
