This blog began on January 1, 2007 with a goal to:
1. share news, ideas, opinions, and help foster a greater community sense in the geosciences,
2. reach out to the larger community to let them know how the geosciences affect all our lives, and
3. re-engage the public in better understanding of the nature and process of science.
Now, three years and 1736 posts later, I think these goals are still valid and I am working to achieve them.
I did not track readership during the first 15 months of blogging, but in the 21 months since March 3, 2008 there has been a modest but generally increasing number of readers.
Thanks for your comments, tips, and encouragement. And on to year 4!
