Dear WM, I will reverse my color scale–to make Bruce

Dear WM, Concerning the recent Science article "Scoping
Out Unseen Forces Shaping North America",
Science magazine doesn't seem to proof-read its figure
captions. The caption to the "What a drip!" figure
says that blue colors represent slower waves and reds
represent faster, the opposite of the essentially universal
convention. The blue anomaly in their picture, however,
has HIGH wave speeds, as the text makes clear.–Bruce

Dear WM, I recently discovered your website. What
a great resource for the public!
I am a professional geneticist and an amateur naturalist
with an interest in geology. I give geology walks in
a local park in Seattle, Washington, USA as a volunteer.
Even as a (non-geologist) scientist, I have trouble
finding, accessing, and understanding professional
geology papers in order keep up with current thinking
on the formation of the American Pacific Northwest.
Your website is a pleasure to read. Free access and
a focus on models and controversies allows an amateur
like me to get much better understanding of the field
than I have generally been able to get through always-out-of-date
popular geology books and my limited access to and
awareness of published papers.
The various articles are also generally clear and clearly
illustrated. Obviously the more knowledge of geology
one has, the more one can understand and glean from
the articles, but as a self-educated amateur, I am
pleased to find them relatively easy to read.
Thanks so much for providing this resource!–Paul Talbert
