I am a sedimentary geologist and a newly-minted PhD currently working as a researcher. I write mostly about Earth science (usually sedimentary and/or marine geology) and like to share photographs I’ve taken.
What does Clastic Detritus mean? Actually both words pretty much refer to pieces or fragments of other rocks. Sediments and sedimentary geology is what I spend most of my waking hours pondering. See my research interests for more. In a way, this blog itself is a collection of pieces and fragments of various topics as well.
You can contact me through gmail by putting ‘romansbrian’ before the ‘at’.
The photograph of me (above) and the header image (top image with title) are from my Ph.D. field area in southern Chile. In the above photo, I am standing on outcropping Cretaceous sedimentary rocks looking at the Miocene Paine laccolith complex in the distance (Parque Nacional Torres del Paine).

The original version of this blog was hosted on blogspot. Some of the posts from the preceding blog (pre-September 2007) may not have migrated to WordPress flawlessly. A lot of my posts have self-referencing links that might take you back to the old blog. Over time I will try and fix these. If you find one, feel free to let me know in the comments.
