Welcome to the “office hours” of Doug Jerolmack, professor of Earth and Environmental Science, with a secondary appointment in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics.
Here, in the latest episode of Penn Today’s “Office Hours” podcast series, which explores the minds of the University’s academic talents in a more unbuttoned setting outside of the lecture hall, Jerolmack discusses the “science of scenery.” He talks rounded pebbles along riversides, studying sand movement even as it’s apparently undisturbed, and also teases out the dynamic with his twin brother, who also studies the environment, and the status of his wife’s West Philadelphia taco shop.
