Salutation: A powerful blueprint for anti racist work in research and academic labs
What was awesome? It was helpful! I couldn’t stop thinking about it! It made a key connection for me! It is a great guide for labs and teams!

Salutation: This work has been impactful this year and the last one further recognizing prospect potential in the US Gulf of Mexico and influencing regional understanding.
What was awesome? It had excellent figures and documentation! It was helpful! I couldn’t stop thinking about it! It made a key connection for me!

Salutation: This symposium was inspiring and up lifting. As a POC in the geosciences, it’s easy to feel excluded from the discipline. This Symposium/Workshop not only provided me with the tools to develop my own DEI initiatives at my institution, but also left me feeling inspired and hopeful about the future of geosciences and their leaders.
What was awesome? It was helpful! I couldn’t stop thinking about it! It’s a scientific frontier!

Salutation: The paper title says it all — it’s so cool that lateral expansion of coastal dune plants is so tightly coupled to deposition.
What was awesome? It was surprising! I couldn’t stop thinking about it! It’s a scientific frontier! It made a key connection for me!

Salutation: This paper presented the U-Net convolutional network technique, which was the foundation for my project’s major accomplishments this year, even though it was published in 2015 and is in a separate field (yay for applying techniques developed in the biomedical field to geology!). The U-Net convolutional network approach has proven extremely useful for training algorithms to detect a number of different geological features (e.g., geobodies, faults, horizons) from imagery (e.g., seismic).

Salutation: This manuscript eloquently brought new students in my lab up to speed on the nature of some of the problems we are studying elsewhere. I found the data presentation to be clear and intuitive, and have attempted versions of similar figures in my ongoing work.
What was awesome? There were excellent figures and documentation! It was helpful!
From Rip Hale, Old Dominion U.
Salutation: Great work giving me insight into spatial variations in channel avulsion style as related to morphology. Potentially helpful for better understanding avulsion record and future hazard.
What was awesome? I was surprising!

Salutation: Even though the ICE-5G model was published in 2004, I only found the data in Feb 2020 when searching for the ice mask generated by the ice sheet model for the LGM, which was instrumental in the development of the TraCE-21Ka global paleo-climate model. Both models produced data sets that have allowed me to make progress in my erosion modeling work. I am thankful for the data, the models, and that there is a repository with information on the data files and the model versions as they develop.
What was awesome? It was helpful! It is ground-breaking!

Salutation: I come from the field of quantitative geomorphology and this paper opened up a new way to look at surface processes.

Salutation: As a coastal sedimentologist, I have long felt that I am part of an effort to restore deltas through large scale delta engineering that is intrinsically good. This paper shows that for powerless groups on the Mississippi Delta, coastal engineering has meant continual disruption. It’s forced me to think carefully about who benefits from my work. It also led to an introspective group meeting.
What was awesome? I couldn’t stop thinking about it!
