About
Brian
San Francisco Bay Area, California
I am a sedimentary geologist 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? These words 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.

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).
