I’m a third-year anth major, and my professor just got back from the Malapa site in South Africa, where is working on excavating the newly-discovered A. sediba, which he helped NAME. I don’t think I’d be more excited if he was a Leakey.
Mod Note: I am so jealous!

While many of the small glacier- and snowmelt-fed streams on the Plateau give rise to major Southeast Asian rivers (including the Mekong and Yangtze), some empty into saline lakes such as Lake Ayakum. This astronaut photograph highlights two river deltas formed along its southwestern shoreline. Gray to tan surfaces indicate prior positions of the river channels; the uniform coloration and smooth texture suggest that they are relatively old and now inactive. By contrast, the younger and currently active delta surfaces have reddish-brown sediment and visible river channels. (via River Deltas, Lake Ayakum, Tibet : Image of the Day)

life:
From the ground, the damage that the Joplin tornado wrecked on the city of 50,000 looks positively apocalyptic: twisted traffic lights, piles of snapped lumber, uprooted trees. But from the air, the scene takes on distinctly different if equally eerie quality… Joplin Tornado: View From The Sky

Fossil Raindrops: Reveal Early Atmosphere
One of the biggest unknown element of the environment of the ancient Earth, billions of years ago when life was first finding a foothold, is just how thick the atmosphere was. Geochemists can get some idea of the composition of different gases in the air at the time, but there’s no way of judging what the atmospheric pressure was. And this is crucial for understanding how much insulation our young planet received.
But now, David Catling at the University of Washington in Seattle has come up with an intriguing way for measuring the thickness of Earth’s primordial atmosphere: study the ancient raindrop impressions formed in some sediments before they turned to stone.
