americangeophysicalunion:“The view never gets old!” That’s what my advisor, Dr. Dick Heermance of CSUN, said to me as he walked up beside me shortly after this photo was taken (by Joshua Graham). We had just arrived to our study area in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, Klamath Mountains, Northern California, USA, in Summer 2012. I studied granitic pluton emplacement while my colleagues did cosmogenic sampling and dendrochronology on glacial end moraines. The view never did get old for the several weeks that we worked in this area, and although for me it was my first scientific research expedition, I realized that it would probably also be the most beautiful setting that I would ever get to experience in my life!!!—Ryan D.
