Some Pictures

Here are some pictures from my field trip.  I only took a few, and there aren’t any scalebars, so my apologies to the geologists out there =)

Dunes at sunset.

Kelso Dunes at sunset.  We camped just a few hundred feet away from them.

A couple of cinder cones at Cima.  These are small volcanoes.

The best desert pavement I’ve ever seen.

Desert tortoise!

A hole in the roof of a lava tube.  Looks like an Indiana Jones movie waiting to happen.

Mountain sheep (I think? Maybe goats).  Looks like a Dodge commercial waiting to happen =)

About meg

I think planets are cool! I'm a new graduate student in Planetary Science at Caltech, and at the moment I'm interested in planetary geophysics of terrestrial planets and moons. I'm originally from Cortlandt Manor, NY, and I did my undergrad at MIT, where I got heavily involved in student theater - a hobby I hope to continue through grad school, time permitting... I also like to read sci-fi/fantasy novels, obsess about English history, and play frisbee.
