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.

  1. My wife and I just moved here for the SLC area last summer. I was working for the Utah Department of Agriculture. We decided to quit our jobs and move to Kansas for grad school (still not sure if that was a wise decision=). My wife misses the mountains and come the Kansas summer heat, I'm sure she'll miss Utah even more.

    I really like reading your posts about planetary volcanism and look forward to your presentation.

  2. I miss waking up and having a view of the mountains every morning and being able to walk just about anywhere and not needing to worry about a car. Though I have to say the weather was a little crazy! One day it was snowing downtown this weird styrofoam snow as we coined it and hailing about a 1mile away at my motel.
