View of Blue Rim escarpment from the ridge, in southwest Wyoming. The photo features dull, tan colored badlands lined with the charismatic blue-green rim for which this locality is known. Photo taken September 2019.
Views of Colorado mountains from the Wasatch Formation outside of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Taken from the field truck, September 2019. In this photo, a lake separates the camera from deep blue mountains rising into a partially cloudy sky.
Two black cows (left: calf, right: full-grown) with white faces menacingly stare down the field truck from the center of the dirt road. Behind the cows are fields of sage brush and other grazing materials. This photo was taken in September 2019.
Massive, cross-bedded tan sandstones tower over the landscape to the left. To the right, a clear blue sky with a single small cloud is shown. Badlands and flat sagebrush landscape are in the background. This photo was taken in September 2019.
A grey tent with orange lining is in the foreground of this photograph. In the background, badlands tinted by golden hour evening light cast shadows on the sagebrush landscape. This photo was taken in southwestern Wyoming, at Oregon Buttes, an outcrop of the Wasatch Formation.
Time in the field isn't always glamorous. During the spring and early summer, southwest Wyoming experiences many large storms. In this photo, mudtracks from lost traction of the truck ahead of the photographer. Giant grey cumulonimbus clouds loom overhead. This photo was taken in June 2019.
This photograph was taken in Grand Teton National Park (Summer 2019) during the summer EARTH 202: Introduction to Environmental Sciences in the Rocky Mountains field course. In the picture, a small kettle pond surrounded by thick green vegetation sits at the base of snowcapped rocky mountain peak. One side of the lake is lined with pine trees, the other has more herbaceous vegetation.
This photograph was taken in summer 2019. In the foreground of the photo, deep green evergreen trees line the right and left. Behind them, the middle and Grand Teton loom, separated by a U-shaped valley carved by glaciers. There is still snow on many of the rock faces. This was taken during a field course activity, during which students hiked the Garnet Canyon trail to learn about the glacial history of Grand Teton National Park.
The face of a woman with brown hair, wearing sunglasses and smiling, is seen to the right of this photo, posing with a grove of Populus tremuloides trees. These trees have charismatic white bark with black speckles. The leaves are yellow-green and flutter in the wind, creating the impression they are "quaking." This is "Pando," the giant colony of Quaking Aspen located in Fishlake National Forest, Utah. This photo was taken during the summer of 2018.
This landscape photo features many white-barked trunks of Quaking Aspen trees. At their base, dense grasses live, with some fallen trunks. This is Pando, the Trembling Giant, found in Fishlake National Forest (Utah). This photograph was taken during the summer of 2018.
This is a photograph from part of the way up Quandary Peak in Colorado to sample leaves. This photograph was taken above treeline. Blue mountains, shrouded in clouds, line the background of this photograph. In the foreground, brown, mossy mountains are seen. Some shimmering lakes are seen between the mountains.
This photograph was taken at Rocky Mountain National Park in summer 2018 during a sampling trip. In this photo, fluffy clouds line deep blue-grey rocky mountain peaks. Some snow is seen on these peaks. The lighting is dark and grey. In the foreground, dark green conifers are seen, with yellow-green grass at their bases.
This photograph was taken at Florissant National Monument outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado. It features a giant petrified wood tree trunk that was of great interest to me due to my love of plants, geology, biology, and the intersection of these. In the background, modern conifers coexist with their ancestor. This photo was taken in the summer of 2018.
This photograph shows fog covering hills that host evergreen trees. In the foreground, a small inlet of green-blue water from the Pacific separates the camera from the mountains. A deciduous tree lines the lake to the right of the photo. This photo was taken in summer 2018 in Olympic National Park, during sampling of Thuja plicata leaves facilitated by NPS.
Taos Valley, on sampling field trip in summer 2018. Mountains on the rim of valleys visible from the photograph.
This photograph is of the "Channeled Scablands" in Washington state. The photograph was taken in summer of 2018 during a field expedition to collect Thuja plicata leaves across the Pacific Northwest. The scablands pictured are a series of eroded brown rock with layers of grassy vegetation between. They were created by cataclysmic floods between 18,200 and 14,000 years ago. At the bottom of the scablands, a river is pictured.
This photo is from Sunset Crater National Monument during a field sampling season for Populus tremuloides (quaking aspen) leaves. The dark, basaltic soil shows the igneous origins of this landscape. On the left side of the photo, a grove of young Populus tremuloides saplings flutter in the wind. This picture was taken in 2018.
This photograph of Specimen Ridge (Yellowstone National Park, Summer 2018) features two prominent petrified wood trunks standing at the top of a cliff edge. Below the cliff is a wide landscape of evergreen trees. At the bottom of the cliff is a grassland valley. It is partly cloudy.
This photograph was taken near a Thuja plicata specimen sampled in Mount Rainier National Park with facilitation by NPS. This photo shows a manmade stone bridge over a small waterfall. Evergreen trees line the side of the road, the rock faces, and the bridge. The lighting is bright sunlight. This photograph was taken in spring-summer 2018.
