  • Promoting or “plugging” your own creations can be difficult, especially in academia and science. In this video, I share a recent project I completed for my PhD and offer a few personal philosophical views on communicating your own contributions. Long story short, I think you should.
    I hope you find the geology I describe here interesting. Generally speaking, I describe a few of the steps I took to get from a kernel of an idea to a finished peer-reviewed article. We investigated the timing of rock uplift and exhumation in the Little Belt Mountains of central Montana and considered our results in the context of a regional tectonic synthesis. Geology is beautiful.

    I'm from india and still in my semi last year of highschool, my dream is to be a geologist cz i think working on field n traveling to such places would make me really happy, and I've been watching ur videos recently a lot which also made me realise that just watching u do what i want to be doing someday in the future motivates n excites me even more so i just start my day with ur videos... Keep uploading them n thanks

    Congrats on your paper! As you pointed out, academic research ends up behind a paywall, where only a restricted group of people can read it. That's why I think it is extremely important to share your work like this and make it accessible! Spreading knowledge where is available to society at large benefits everyone and promotes more equal opportunities in science. Otherwise, people without a direct link to science will never even consider a scientific career, which is such a loss! Thanks for sharing, Caden!

    No need to excuse yourself for speaking about your research. My PhD is in sociology of autonomous systems and I've been learning about geology through your videos, which is probably something I would not do otherwise. I liked how you said "fixed a few things that I think were incorrect on previous maps." That's indeed pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Well done!

      It’s also cool to see you publish with Kurt! In undergrad, I had the pleasure of fossil hunting with him in the Kishenehn Formation (Eocene, northwestern Montana). He explained all the geology to us while we rafted down the Flathead River. It was amazing!

I love how you can describe distal consequences of a proximal process in the geology sense and I can directly apply it to human movement and injury evaluation, treatment, or prevention.

    Congrats on publishing my man! I’m a first year masters student here at Victoria university of Wellington in New Zealand. My research is looking more at physical geography processes but my background is in both physical geo and geology. Anyway, I’m current writing an essay/literature review about the uplift history of the Central Andes. I was wondering if there are any papers you recommend checking out? Great video btw, keep ‘em comming

    • @cadenhowlett
      @cadenhowlett  8 місяців тому +1

      Thnx for the words! Awesome to hear that you're pursuing a Masters! re central Andes, a good starting point would be the excellent review by Garzione et al. (2017) (Tectonic Evolution of the Central Andean Plateau and Implications for the Growth of Plateaus). Older foundational papers from Cornell will be helpful: Isacks (1988) "Uplift of the Central Andean Plateau and bending of the Bolivian orocline" and Allmendinger et al (1997) "The evolution of the Altiplano-Puna plateau of the central Andes". Have you read these yet? I can provide more modern studies as well but this is the place to start. Enjoy.
