Why is it that everyone finds something wrong with this except for me?

Psychedelic rendition of the NV-OR-ID borderland
Repeating color ramps are not only seriously awesome, they are also amazingly instructive about regional geology and geomorphology. Made this number with Globalmapper. The Owyhee River watershed is the conspicuous one.

Owyhee Map Draft 994a-2c
The never-ending map continues to never end. I call this good enough for manuscript review, don't you?
PS. Really missing graphic / cartographic support staff. Yikes.

Second draft of Owyhee River and lava profile
Thanks to JEO'C for his input. Here is the latest version. Still draft, but much better.

Let the monkeys and pigs fly from where they may
I have finally compiled a freaking diagram of longitudinal profile data extracted from the geologic map, the LiDAR data, and my field observations. I will never reveal truly how long this took. Still...only a draft. Shoot me anytime.
Intracanyon lavas: 1m contours from LiDAR
AM-PM campsite on the Owyhee River for those in the know. Made with GlobalMapper.

Some Owyhee River landslide images with contours
Made with Global Mapper in order to evaluate topography related to landslide damming and overflow.

2010 UNR Geology Field Camp Maps
A particularly good year in a very complicated area. Collage includes the NAIP image and my map...now to grade them and all the related items by the end of the day.

Field tour
This year's field camp made the full trip around the Owyhee map
area...in spite of unfounded concerns by some local officials that the
vans just couldn't make it. We made it. Not a single issue with the
vans...so there.

Another year, another field camp.
A week of crazy weather, rattlesnakes, and extreme geology and
geomorphology has come to an end. This year's field camp was
exceptionally good. Managed to get 24 students well up to speed on
intracanyon lava flows, immense and numerous landslides, and
catastrophic flood deposits in a matter of days. Most of the students
will agree that they got nearly a semester's worth of education in one
week. This year we mapped part of the Hole in the Ground along the Owyhee
River and camped at Birch Creek. A brilliant plan.
