Charlie and I are headed to Italy! This is a warm-up post. We will depart Eugene at 6:00 am this Wednesday (March 30) and will land in Naples mid-day March 31. We plan to visit Naples for 3 days and then move to Potenza where we will live for 3 months. I will attend a conference focused on tidal depositional processes and deposits – “tidalites” – as well as pre- and post-meeting field trips. Check out the meeting web page: https://www.tidalites2022.it/. My host in Potenza, Sergio Longhitano, is a great sedimentologist. He is the driving force behind the Tidalites conference and I’m excited to learn from him in the field.
