Strat Column


This is the strat column from ECM was done on Adobe Illustrator. I have used Illustrator before but never for geological purposes. It was fairly easy to do, the most time consuming part was just entering the data.

This is a cropped image of a few plumes originating from the South Pole of Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons.

Catch up

So I am still in the middle of trying to play catch up with school after being in Salt Lake City for a week due to work, but I am getting there. I thought I could at least post what I plan on doing my presentation on.

At Exploration Place, there is a small exhibit on the bridge heading over to the main exhibit hall where panels go up once a month with different scientific topics. Since I was already doing research on planetary volcanism for class, I decided to volunteer myself to do the signs for the month of May. Upon doing my research for class and for Exploration Place I realized that to cover current and past volcanism of the Solar System in 10mins was going to be a very big stretch. So I have decided to only cover active volcanism of the solar system. The planets/moons I plan on covering are Earth (obviously), Venus, Io, Enceladus, Titan and Triton and maybe Europa if I have time.
