How does sedimentation compare between rift basins and foreland basins? Does each have differing rates of sedimentation? What about the convexities/concavities in the sedimentation profile? Also - why are rift basins often filled up with lakes while foreland basins sometimes aren't?

How does Kardar compare with Reif? Does Kardar have any gaps? Also, what about Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell?

Or in other words, are a lot of geologists pretty crazy and funny at the same time? I'm getting this sense just by looking at the presentations of the geologists at the Yale Geology & Geophysics open house. It makes me wish that people in other fields had the same sense of humor that...

I'd preferably want something that could replace scratch paper. The iPad's stylus is far too thick for comfortably writing up math equations. Thanks!

Bumping just in case there's anyone this season

Yeah I registered a few days ago

Oh cool - what are you presenting there?

Oh okay I see. What do the star professors do during the poster sessions? I'm actually wondering since the only way I can justify the cost to my parents is to show them that it can improve my chances of getting in grad school (and I've already been in contact with the star professors - some of...

Oh yeah - thanks for all the advice! Yeah - I think I'll most likely end up going there. Do you know if I could, say, talk with visiting professors during dinner or something? Do you know what most of the professors do during dinner?

Ah okay - thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to see if that works tomorrow.

mod() definitely works, so I'm pretty sure that floor() should work too

I see - thanks very much for the reply! Here is the subroutine. I defined PLANET_DAY_RATIO within the subroutine. Am I doing it wrong? subroutine get_curr_date(yr, mon, day, tod, offset) ! Return date components valid at end of current timestep with an optional ! offset (positive or...
