  1. Roaring Brook on Giant Mountain in the Adirondacks holds a special place in my heart because it was the site (a bit further upstream) of my first geology research project, undertaken as an undergrad at Colgate University. The falls occur where the hanging valley of Roaring Brook joins the main valley of the Auasble Ri...

  2. State Route 3 through the northern Adirondacks is know to geologists as "The Anorthosite Highway" because of its spectacular cuts throught the Marcy Massif anorthosite unit. This is the first of a series of three GigaPans I shot at this roadcut to illustate the anorthosite at a range of scales.

  3. Do you think there's a shallow magma chamber here?

  4. Lava Butte is a geologically young cinder cone at the north end of a series of vents radiating from Newberry Volcano. The eruption that formed the cinder cone also issued an extensive aa lava flow, seen here in the foreground near its southeast margin. Edi and Berti went exploring and made friends with a couple of th...

  5. Dry Oak Forest in the Salisbury Town Forest. Thin, till-derived soil on this gentle south-facing slope supports a stunted forest of white, chestnut, and red oak. These species grow more than twice as tall elsewhere on deeper or wetter soils. Shrubs, herbs, and grasses take advantage of the ample sunlight passing thro...

  6. Hemlock Forest in the Salisbury Town Forest -- Eastern hemlocks are responsible for more than 75% of both tree density and canopy cover in this stand, and hardwoods scattered among the hemlocks include three species of oak. The dark forest floor supports little more than mosses. Many of the trees here are about 200 y...

  7. I reshot the Emmons Glacier at a slightly different exposure in hopes of bringing out some of the glacial features that might have been overexposed in the larger Rainier Sunrise GigaPan: www.gigapan.org/gigapans/31687/

  8. Northern Hardwood Forest – Sugar maple and American beech are common in this stand and provide the yellow glow. Beech trees have reproduced by root sprouts far from the main trunks and form a dense sapling thicket. These saplings and some young sugar maples have held onto their yellowed leaves and brighten this sce...

  9. Limestone Bluff Cedar-Pine Forest at Lone Rock Point, Vermont – This forest type, dominated by northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis), is common in Vermont only where calcareous cliffs overlook Lake Champlain. At Lone Rock Point, thin soil among the outcrops of Dunham dolostone supports a stunted cedar forest wi...

  10. Not the best lighting, but sometimes you have to take what you can get.
