Songs from the last calendar year

But this doesn't mean they were necessarily songs released in the last year. In no particular order, this is some of the stuff I bumped into:

The Rulers, I Want My Ramones Records Back
The Whiffs, Forget Your Name from Take a Whiff.
Dany Laj and the Looks, Woody/Dreamers from Word on the Street.
Grim Deeds and the song Underground
The Rocket Jocks, Next Stop Moon: Crazy for You and What Can I Do
The Barreracudas, Can Do Easy, and the song Promises
Death By Unga Bunda, from Fight! and the song I Wanted Everything
J.D. McPherson's songs Style (Is a Losing Game) and Under the Spell of City Lights
Milk 'N' Cookies
I finally was able to stop compulsively playing Reaction and Can't Erase that Feeling by Warm Soda sometime in early 2017.

Data structure and resilience properties

In my 2017 article in Geomorphology, I describe more of the theoretical basis for linking the multivariate data structure of state space to its resilience properties. It could be considered a followup to my 2005 paper in Geomorphology. I wasn't in a rush, but back then the availability of lidar data and the software tools to manipulate these data weren't quite as on hand as they are today. I had thought about making topographic state space back in 2005, and added a preliminary figure in my Ecological Complexity paper.
