Formation of repeating bar‐flat bedforms in ephemeral gravel bed channels: 1. Field observations
1 INTRODUCTION The beds of single-thread, upland, ephemeral channels are characterized by a sequence of bars and flats (Powell et al., 2012; Reid & Laronne 1995). These are reminiscent of the riffle-pool sequence in perennial mountain rivers (Chin & Wohl, 2005; Clifford, 1993; Montgomery & Buffington, 1997; Richards, 1976), but they possess unique characteristics that distinguish them from their perennial counterparts.

The Kuznetsov Station in ‘For All Mankind’ Explained
Summary The Goldilocks asteroid houses the Kuznetsov Station, which is the mining base for iridium and other minerals. The station is named after cosmonaut Grigory Kuznetsov, who was killed during the first asteroid capture mission. Fans have many questions about the name and purpose of the Kuznetsov Station in the latest season of ‘For All Mankind.’ The Apple TV+ series is set in an alternate universe where the Soviet Union wins the space race and lands on the Moon ahead of the United States.
Geographic data analysis in R and Python: comparing code and outputs for vector data
In this blog post, we talk about our experience teaching R and Python for geocomputation. The focus of the blog post is on geographic vector data, meaning points, lines, polygons (and their ‘multi’ variants) and the attributes associated with them. Geographic data analysis is a broad topic and in a later post we will cover raster data, meaning gridded data such as satellite images. The context of this blog post is the OpenGeoHub Summer School 2023 which has courses on R, Python and Julia.

A drug raid on campus
There were 165 uniformed Suffolk police officers and plainclothes detectives out there in the darkness at 5 a.m. They were holding warrants for 38 suspects named in a sealed indictment. Also in their hands were copies of an elaborate manual drawn up for the raid. Bearing the crest of the county police narcotics squad, the manual included pictures of a marijuana leaf and a poppy.
LI's vaccine volunteers
By Michael Dorman Updated August 17, 2019 4:37 PM This originally appeared in the book "Long Island: Our Story," on Nov. 15, 1998. More than 4,000 monkeys a month were flown during the mid-1950s from India and the Philippines to a desolate laboratory along the bank of a small river near Bluffton, S.C. Those monkeys would play pivotal roles in helping provide the vaccine used in the largest polio-vaccination test program in the United States - conducted on Long Island in 1954.
A slaying in high society
This originally appeared in the book "Long Island: Our Story," on Nov. 15, 1998. The night began for the Woodwards with a glittering party in honor of the duchess of Windsor. It ended with a blaze of gunfire - an act of violence that would fascinate the nation for weeks and inspire two best-selling novels. William Woodward Jr., 35, was the handsome, dark-haired owner of the top-rated racehorse Nashua and a member of a renowned racing family that had saddled three Kentucky Derby winners.
The Race of Gentlemen shows there’s hope for the future… in the past
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email 70 years ago on April 10, 1949, in the beach-city town of Goleta, Calif. on the sunny shores of the blue Pacific in multi-storied Southern California, a drag race was held –- the first real, planned, managed, permitted drag race ever. The event would incorporate hundreds of drag racers but was centered around a match race between Edelbrock engine man Fran Hernandez and supercharger innovator Tom Cobbs.
2018 California Hot Rod Reunion: Real Racing
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email A woman in a pit crew uniform strides up the stairs of the drag-strip timing tower, staking out a spot where she can both watch over the race car queue in the staging lanes and monitor Saturday night’s final session of Top Fuel qualifying. In her hand is a slip of paper listing the elapsed times of dragsters that have run in earlier sessions.
Joel Kinnaman joins Apple’s space race sci-fi series
Apple’s slate of original TV shows keeps getting more enticing. According to a new report, Apple has began fleshing out the cast for its original sci-fi series developed by Ronald D. Moore, the brains behind Battlestar Galactica. Joel Kinnaman, Michael Dorman, and Sarah Jones have all been cast in lead roles for the series, which takes place in a world in which the global space race never slowed down.
Long-Term 2018 Nissan Leaf: Electric Autonomy—Putting Nissan’s Pro Pilot Assist to the Test
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email The autonomous driving experience has been, up until recently, an expensive technology reserved for luxury cars. Among others, Nissan is working to bring partial autonomous driving to lower-priced machines. Nissan’s ProPilot Assist is part of a technology package that cost just $650 on our long-term Leaf. That’s a ridiculously good deal.
New Brain Insights from Cochlear Implants
Ten years ago, Blake Wilson and I described for readers of American Scientist the design and function of the first successful and widely available neural prosthesis for a sensory system, otherwise known as the cochlear implant. Today, approximately 500,000 individuals worldwide have been fitted with this technology and have experienced the significant gain in quality of life that improved hearing affords.
'sf'-Compatible Interface to 'Google Maps' APIs [R package mapsapi version 0.1.0]
mapsapi: 'sf'-Compatible Interface to 'Google Maps' APIs Interface to the 'Google Maps' APIs: (1) routing directions based on the 'Directions API', returned as 'sf' objects, either as single feature per alternative route, or a single feature per segment per alternative route, (2) travel distance or time matrices based on the 'Distance Matrix API'. Downloads: Linking: Please use the canonical form https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mapsapi to link to this page.
Introduction to package mapsapi
The package provides an interface to the Google Maps APIs, currently two of them - Functions and are used to access the API. They return an object (package ) with the response contents. Given a directions response, functions and can be used to process the response document into a spatial layer. Function gives each alternative as a separate line, while function gives each segment (that is, a portion of the route associated with specific driving instructions) as a separate line.
Letter to the Editor: Progressive babble
In response to Professor Fincke’s opinion on our president on July 22, “I’m not surprised!” Seems to me his punctuation and grammar are without defect but the content of his subject continues on the same mundane progressive babble.“Celebrating the misfortunes of others!” Really? Are you anchored in your beliefs, or are you ever evolving as progressives pretend to be?
Crowdsourcing the Paleolithic
“Armchair archaeologist” used to be a derisive term, belittling those who claimed a passionate interest in the ancient past but lacked the gumption to do anything about it. These would-be participants avoided the rigors of training and the possible sting of public failure simply by staying home.

The Scientific Journey in Essay Form
Essays are what drew me to science writing, although I didn’t realize it until after I’d left science for journalism. In high school I pored over features in National Geographic by David Quammen, who many consider one of the great nature essayists of our day. In college, as I majored in environmental science, my personal philosophies were most influenced by Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac and Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, both books crafted around a series of personal essays.
The World of Science Blogging
In December 2010, a paper in Science made a revolutionary claim that garnered the swift and loud skepticism of science bloggers. The authors ofthe paper claimed that they had found a bacterium that could use arsenic, a toxic compound, in its DNA in place of phosphorus, an element known to be essential for all forms of life.
The Cool Factor: Air Conditioning's History in Images
In honor of the first week of summer (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere anyway), we’re revisiting the book Cool: How Air Conditioning Changed Everything, by Salvatore Basile, which we reviewed in the May–June 2015 issue of American Scientist. Cool concentrates mostly on the cultural history of air conditioning, yet Basile doesn’t stint on providing lucid descriptions of air cooling technologies as they developed over time and were adapted to suit the needs of various industries.
