@think_or_swim @EliotJacobson Is there any reason to believe Antarctic sea ice follows a normal distribution?

@ArizonaDOT Can I get on sb at 260?

@ElevatedWeather NWS is predicting much less snowfall tomorrow, why do you think that is?

NEW PAPER! Some folks and I wrote a review on modeling river deltas for the Treatise of Geomorphology vol. 2. https://t.co/6asmdcnuz0

If you are frustrated by the blasted paywall, DM me for a copy.

Fantastic tour of river avulsion styles by @ValenzaJeff, I think retrogradational avulsion is my favorite.

Fascinating work by @RachelGlade on solifluction lobes, an enigmatic Arctic landscape pattern. Prospective grad students, consider working with Rachel, she's awesome!

@himaglobe will change how you think about levees:

Check out our new paper! We find that coupling between bifurcations in a delta network can produce chaotic flux partitioning dynamics, implying that in the long term, delta networks are fundamentally unpredictable.

@GeoMorphNick @jscarto @NASA_Landsat It looks seasonal to me.

[Gerard Salter @sedSalter]

@GeoMorphNick @jscarto @NASA_Landsat Cool! I've always thought this type of glacier is suspiciously delta-like. I need to see this slowed down; the light makes it hard to tell.

@RobertCMahon Fantastic! How long did it take to collect that profile with the LISST?

[Gerard Salter @sedSalter]

@ebgoldstein @fkratzert Isn't predicting "out of sample" very different than predicting "outside of the range of conditions" provided in the training data? The latter would be surprising unless there are no strong nonlinearities/thresholds.

@ThomasM_geo @RobertCMahon Many schools don't tell their students about the fees or keep upping them (eg LSU) and it really shouldn't be legal. I agree if you have the fees it needs to be clear in the offer letter. At least I was warned before coming to Minnesota.

@docsnowtx @AmyEast_gmph It's because we've been trained for years and years in school to "lengthify" our writing to meet arbitrary word or page counts.
