Tellus Lecture: The Most Diverse River System

So, you spent time with “family” over the holidays. Don’t worry.  Maybe you were adopted. I know.  Your family makes the cast of Duck Dynasty look like England’s Royal Family.  (My favorite DD quote from Jase: “When you don’t know what you’re doing it’s best to do it quickly.”) You probably need to believe your […]
