I wrote (and photographed) this month’s Travels in Geology article for Geotimes, which you can read online:

While thinking about ideas for my next batch of queries, I realized that my geotraveling has been very volcano-centric for someone whose primary interest is paleontology. Volcanoes are certainly exciting to visit, though.

Oh, of course, and we did spend a few days looking at a bunch of Pleistocene reefs (I saw a few fossils in Iceland as well). But the majority of my trips the last couple years have been more focused on the volcanic and geothermal stuff.

(And since my research interests are mainly centered around the Eocene-Oligocene boundary, I think of the Pleistocene as “practically modern.” Heh.)
