Another beautiful photo from the Uinta Mountains of #Utah by my colleague Eric Glassco. You can read his illustrated essay about rock glaciers in the #Uintas here: https://maxexodus.com/rock-glacier-research-trip-september-2024#geology #geomorphology #landforms #mountains #landscapephotography

Just sat here and watched this cloud form and then dissipate, with a spectacular iridescence along the way. The camera captured maybe 25% of what my eyes perceived.Happy to report, I was perfectly stoned, and I just sat here communing with nature through cloud watching.Thank you for the show, Mother Earth. Thank you for the rainbow, goddess Iris. ️️️#photography#WestJordanUT#Utah#CloudPhotography#CloudWatching#CloudIrisation

YES!!!I don't swear often, but fuck you, #utgop! You changed the law to try to prevent the people you'd duped into signing from removing their names, and they paid the price of a stamp to do it anyway.https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2026/03/26/prop-4-support-repeal-utahs-anti/#utpol #Utah #gerrymandering

This Year's Snow Drought is Etching Itself Into Utah Forest HistoryWithout a winter snowpack to convert into spring runoff, trees will shift into very low gear, growing little and leaving narrow bands in their tree-ring records. In really bad years there is no growth, and no ring, at all.#tree #drought #Utah #SnowDrought https://www.usu.edu/today/story/this-years-snow-drought-is-etching-itself-into-utah-forest-history

Large, spectacular #waterfalls make great images for calendars, posters, and landscape paintings. But I am charmed by smaller cascades, like this one on the Virgin River in Zion National Park, #Utah. Though often overlooked, these modest waterfalls have their own enchanting appeal. Attending to the small things in life often brings large rewards.#ZionNationalPark #rivers #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography #SacredWonderland

Water managers look to spur precipitation in the midst of record-breaking droughtRain Enhancement Technologies, a company that’s operated in Oman, doesn’t use traditional cloud-seeding methods, which are characterized by putting silver iodide particles into the atmosphere. Instead, they do what they call “ionization cloud seeding,” which uses high-voltage rays to ionize naturally occurring aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are necessary for cloud formation, and therefore, precipitation.#CloudSeeding #Utah #ColoradoRiver #water #drought https://www.aspenpublicradio.org/environment/2026-03-12/water-managers-look-to-spur-precipitation-in-the-midst-of-record-breaking-drought
