And then came the classic geologist realization: “Wait…we should probably get more data.”

Because in #geology, 'good enough' isn’t good enough when you know you can make it better.

So, some members of the #KGS seismic team returned to Big Bone Lick State Historic Site to collect additional seismic data to enhance the seismic characterization of sediments. A few extra measurements, double-checking the data, and suddenly that academic poster goes from solid to conference-ready.
