Back from the field

I’m officially out of the mountains in the Mineral King area – the field work went great, we collected some fabulous Triassic-Jurassic rhyolites from a pendant in the Sierra Nevada Batholith (and also enjoyed blueberry-sized hail and an unfortunate hike through a thorny thicket). I’ll have more to say later, but now I’ll be diving headlong into working on papers during my few days here in Davis … but I’ll try to catch up on all your comments left while I was away!
