Becoming a geologist, which I sort of fell into, has changed the way I look at the world. I would always have found these images beautiful and surreal. But understanding the processes behind them makes it even more awe-inspiring.
Is there anything more beautiful and surreal than the Earth?
Leila is a geoarchaeology PhD candidate who never expected to find herself in geology or in the Midwest. She holds an MS in geology, and a BA in anthropology. Her primary interests are thinking about past landscapes and the people who lived on them, outreach/informal education, statement jewelry, and perfumes no graduate student should own. Her favorite color is gold glitter and she is often the only woman at an airport bar.
