Matt…
Yes, Dickinson is my academic grandfather…sedimentary geology is indeed a rather small community, eh? I don’t know Marc, but I’ve met Cari.

I will definitely check out your blog…it seems more geology-related blogs are popping up all time time, which is awesome!

Hey-

Came upon your blog via the About.com Alden blog. Nice, really enjoyable.

I have to ask, from your vita, it seems you are a Dickinson decendent like myself. I never worked directly with Steve, but I worked with 2 of his students: Marc Hendrix and Cari Johnson. And, I too went through some PhD and stopped. I now am a geologist with the Utah Geologic Survey.

My blog (QFL247.com …get it?) has some geostuff as well, though it is certainly not all geology. Feel free to check it out. Maybe one day I can get my blog up to your specs.

Thanks, Matt
