Interestingly enough, the research that I presented at AGU 2011 and contributed to a 2012 paper has become a major part of the thesis work for one of my compatriots!  An article is being prepared (by said compatriots) that extends this work.  I’m involved more on the “genesis of the idea” and review side, but it is certainly gratifying to see the seed of an original research idea begin to germinate (to use a plant-growth analogy, badly).  Not bad for something that began as the final project for a class and case of “what if I look at this data like this?”.  I’ll update if/when the latest update to this work makes it to publication.
