We test the hypotheses that (1) provenance changes were tied to shifts from glacial to interglacial periods, and (2) the Protoprecordillera in western Argentina served as a topographic barrier between the Calingasta-Uspallata and Paganzo basins until its eventual collapse during
A special thanks to co-authors, which include three other @Augustana_IL College alumni: Jack Malone (’18), John Isbell (’81), David Malone, John Craddock and Kathryn Pauls (’11).

Jackson School doctoral student William Reyes has a new genus and species of aetosaur to share with the world! 🐊
Aetosaurs are crocodile-like reptiles that lived during the Late Triassic, and are known for their heavy armor plating.
Day 1 of @txgeosciences 660A: Field Geology!
Instructors M. Malkowski & C. Olariu are teaching students how to measure, describe, and interpret depostional processes & environments within marginal marine environments in the Book Cliffs, UT. World class geology!
We are excited to introduce our incoming field camp director, Dr. Miriam Barquero-Molina! 🎉
Barquero-Molina is a structural geologist, Jackson School alumna, and the current field camp director at the University of Missouri.

New paper just out in Gondwana Research!
Excited to share our results from my M.S. thesis at @txgeosciences, which focuses on the controversial debate regarding where the Falkland/Malvinas Islands were located prior to the break-up of Gondwana!

RCRL student Josh Malone , Xavier Janson and Buddy Price (Devon) recently spent a week in the Death Valley area scouting spectacular exposure of Pennsylvanian platform, slope and deep-water deposits for Josh's PhD project.
🎇Happy New Year! 🎇
To kick off the new issue for 2023, we have an editorial by Angela Hessler, regarding the "incompleteness" of the stratigraphic record.

San Francisco Bay — final day geology fieldtrip led by Matt Malkowski. Golden Gate bridge, radiolarian cherts & pillow basalts within the Franciscan melange. Thanks Matt! @SedsMatt, @txgeosciences
Deepwater deposystems — from submarine canyon to distal fan. Cretaceous Great Valley Group, California, forarc basin fill, geology fieldtrip led by @SedsMatt@txgeosciences.
Geology course fieldtrip to California, led by Matt Malkowski @SedsMatt, UT-Austin @txgeosciences. Trip kicked off with overview from Steve Graham @StanfordEarth Pigeon Point, Cretaceous turbidites.
Augustana’s Department of Geology is proud to celebrate

Using fossilized remains, scientists can glean information about species' growth rates, diet, diseases, and habitat. A lesser-known branch of paleontology explores what extinct animals actually did, @arstechnica reports:
