It is my pleasure to present this photo gallery of erosion related images contributed by myself and colleagues around the world. Thank you all.

The purpose of this photo sharing gallery is to provide a place for sharing practical techniques, unique erosion equipment and the beauty of field work.  New researchers may find the pictures a great help by reassuring their direction through the experience of others. More experienced researchers will most certainly enjoy sharing their experience.

Please email any erosion images you would like to share to Sensit,  everyone will appreciate your efforts. 

Special:  A tribute to Dale Gillette
Written by:  Be´atrice Marticorena at request.

This paper was submitted to JGR but was not granted publication because it is not a true research publication.

Nonetheless, Dr. Dale Gillette’s long and productive career has been a cornerstone for aerosol / aeolian geomorphology research and richly deserves this tribute to be presented for all to see.

Dr. Gillette's countless contributions to erosion research covering field, laboratory and theoretical aspects of wind eroding mass and subsequent effects on the environment have not only been building blocks for others to follow, but cutting edge new precedents throughout the erosion field of study. It has been my greatest pleasure to work as a team with Dr. Gillette in the field and laboratory for 35 years. Dr. Gillette has been, without question the wind beneath my wings throughout my career. Erosion sensor development would not have succeeded without his never faltering support, advice and encouragement in a most kind and respectful manner.

The 4 Seasons at Sensit Company in North Dakota

 

This effect of light scattered by suspended ice in the atmosphere is called a Sun Dog.

 

These pictures of birds were taken at Sensit Company. 

This feeder is outside the Sensit shop window.
