PhD student in CEE @ Stanford; interested in geomorphology 🏞, sediments 🪨, and fluids 🌊; she/her; go birds 🦅🦅🦅https://bsky.app/profile/streamofsophie.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/streamofsophie.bsky.social/post/3msqpqodl322gExcited to share two preprints for companion papers that examine the statistics of bedload motion! We used high-resolution imagery to capture grain tracks from flume experiments across a range of fluid shear stresses. We also subject the sand bed to "stress history" to see how grain motion changes.10 Aug 2026 18:21 +0000at://did:plc:nyl7aj7cc2ltc6igvhmwkuvm/app.bsky.feed.post/3msqpqodl322ghttps://bsky.app/profile/streamofsophie.bsky.social/post/3mcekaob6rc2pFirst chapter of the PhD has officially been published in @jgrearthsurface.bsky.social! We subject a sand bed to directional flows, then examine grain velocity and activity statistics to show that stress history is stored anisotropically in sediment beds.

Who knew camping for conference lodging could be so fun! Many thanks to the organizers for making this happen in such a beautiful part of the world09 Oct 2025 00:32 +0000at://did:plc:nyl7aj7cc2ltc6igvhmwkuvm/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2pvspvfy224https://bsky.app/profile/streamofsophie.bsky.social/post/3lwvgfx5rfk2wAlmandine garnet is my favorite mineral because it looks like little soccer balls!

I've been putting it off, but it's secretly Totally Fine and actually better than having 5+ scripts named things like plottracks, plottracks_old, and plottracks_party, then forgetting why you named your code "party"28 Jul 2025 20:21 +0000at://did:plc:nyl7aj7cc2ltc6igvhmwkuvm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lv2g6tk6vk2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/streamofsophie.bsky.social/post/3lurfgpgess2kOMG there's a Bernie Sanders version too --> https://github.com/R-CoderDotCom/ggbernie#featured-memes-made-by-the-community [contains quote post or other embedded content]25 Jul 2025 06:14 +0000at://did:plc:nyl7aj7cc2ltc6igvhmwkuvm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lurfgpgess2khttps://bsky.app/profile/streamofsophie.bsky.social/post/3lqtniv27mc26Omg is the mole named Darcy after Darcy's law???

The frosting and marbled layers are meant to show mixing at an ocean front!
