The Bu Element
- J.P. Buchanan
- Cheney, America
- I am a professor of geology at Eastern Washington University. While my academic focus includes sedimentology, hydrogeology, and geomorphology, I am easily excited about all things geological. I am also an experienced world traveler, an avid photographer, and a passionate amateur astronomer. [All blog entries and original images posted herein: © 2009-2015 J.P.
