St John in the silver matrix – beardless with a similar mop of hair, holding a spiky eagle and a palm branch.

Until this year, the only published photo was so fuzzy that there were debates as to whether there was a bird, and interpretation of the palm. Even with the RTI image, discussion continues. Falconer friends think this most resembles a , scaled to speak comfortably to St John, while… standing on his fist? as raptors usually do… or on his open palm? as a trusted messenger of God? 🧵 2/3

Widespread Deposition In A Coastal Bay Following Three Major 2017 Hurricanes (Irma, Jose, And Maria) [USVI]

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-43062-4 <-- shared paper

photo - Runoff in the waters near Magens Bay, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, after the passage of Hurricane Irma.
A difference map of Coral Bay, St. John, USVI. The post-storm November 2017 survey was subtracted from the pre-storm August 2017 survey. Deposition is indicated by positive values (green, yellow, orange, red); erosion in negative values (blue). The largest area of deposition (outlined with a black dashed line) is characterized by deposition ranging from 20 to 60 cm. Coral mounds in central Johnson Bay have a general flute mark pattern of deposition toward Coral Harbor and erosion to seaward. Six sediment cores (white circles) were collected in November of 2017.
