One Paper Accepted, Another Submitted

Today I got word that the paper Dr. Capriotti and I submitted would be accepted for publication, tentatively in May. This is my first publication, and I'm excited that it's happening so quickly! Yesterday afternoon, Dr. Hyndman and I sent out my first spectral analysis paper to Water Resources Research. It's a big paper (14-17 pages probably), and it has some great results! I'm looking forward to its (hopeful) acceptance so that I can write the next paper in that series. I'm hoping to shoot for a little wider audience that Water Resources Research with the next one.

This semester I'm doing both an research assistantship and teaching a single session of a class. It's the same one I taught last spring, it's a lab class teaching non-science majors about geosciences and science in general. It's a fun class to teach, and only having a single section is the way to go if I also have a lot of research to do (which I do right now).
