Le ministère de la transition écologique a mise en ligne un atlas des paysages du #Jura avec de jolies illustrations dans la partie Diagnostique dont une section géologique. Les thématiques sont très variés. atlas-paysages.jura.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/l-atlas-r2.h... (cc @subsolum.bsky.social)

Weekend field visit to the Tourbières de Prénovel (#Jura, France) – a textbook example of how substrate permeability governs landscape patterns. Impermeable layers retain water, forming peat bogs , while permeable zones drain quickly, favoring dry forested ridges.

With so much weighing on the scientific community right now, I find solace in the resilience of the natural world—like these beautiful biocrusts continually holding the desert together.

Ice may be present a few centimetres below the Moon’s surface in more areas of the lunar polar regions than was previously thought due to large variations in surface temperatures, according to a study in Communications Earth & Environment. https://go.nature.com/4i89O6S 🔭 🧪

A study in Nature Communications attributes Mars’ distinctive red colour to ferrihydrite, a type of rust mineral. The finding suggests Mars experienced a cold and wet environment before transitioning to its current desert state. https://go.nature.com/4iiRKGV 🧪 🔭

When you watch Jurassic Park but have a background in structural geology😉

It's #DarwinDay. He was a father of #soilscience #pedology, by combining his knowledge of #geology and #biology, he published “The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms.” In this book you can see one of the first #soilhorizon designation A,B,C.

Hello at BlueSky! We are informing on work advancing our knowledge on soils in all regions of the world and formed in different pedo-climatic zones. Looking forward to interacting with a large soil science community! Explore our webpage for more insights. www.sciencedirect.com/journal/geod...

🌵✨ When we say biocrusts are "the coral reefs of the desert," we mean it—just look at these vibrant colors! 🟠🟡🔵🔴 They're also reef-like in their roles stabilizing soil, reducing erosion, retaining moisture, and fixing nitrogen 🌿

#MontBlanc visible from the #Jura about 180 km away

I am a little late for #worldsoilday but here is my all time favourite: Latossolo Vermelho perférrico (Hyperferritic Ferralsol?), developed from itabirite - a hematite-quartz metamorphic rock that gives name to my hometown. These soils have up to 95% of Fe oxides and oxyhydroxides!! (1/3)

For today's (somewhat late) #Fridayfold, I'm going smaller in scale. Here are some beautiful soft sediment deformation structures I spotted when exploring the Oamaru volcanic field #geology #earthscience #womeninSTEM

#Borobudur temple in Java #indonesia last year, the offsets between the stone blocks at the base of the temple could be linked to past #earthquakes ? Dear paleosismologists any thoughs or studies on that? @paleoseismicity.bsky.social #activetectonics #archeosismology ugm.ac.id/en/news/1635...

#FossilFriday! 🧪⚒️ Here is a fossil soil (paleosol) from 17.5 million years ago in western Kenya. The paleosol contains abundant fossil rodents (red bone chips) and clay-lined root traces. This paleosol also showed some of the earliest evidence for savannas in the Cenozoic. tinyurl.com/36dbb93z

Are you interested in communicating about soil biodiversity? If so, check out this recently published paper by Yamina Pressler for guidance on how to best communicate about soil biodiversity 🪱🐜🦠🐛 If not, check it out anyways 🤎 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

One of my students said this root plate was from a basswood. It looked like it was growing in a stream, with almost no aerobic soil for a root zone.

I found this sketch on my hypothesis of the relationship between flow (discharge) and orientation of the #schistosity of the #Weierbach basin (Luxembourg), I find it quite good #CriticalZone #Hydrology The idea was reshaped and published here sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Recent publication from my lab group about community engaged urban soil science! Especially important to consider as the new Artesol soil order gains recognition. acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/PZZKVZ...

We all know Jenny's (1941) equation, however he was not the first. 🤫 Let’s pay tribute to Shaw who came up with his #soil formation formula in 1930 at the 2nd International Congress of Soil Science in Saint Petersburg (Leningrad).

A complex Brunic Umbrisol (Arenic, Aric, Raptic) according to WRB2022 developped in Luxembourg sandstone. Parent material shows high variability due to complex sedimentology, pure sand to sandy limestone. #sand #soil #pedology

The second day of the #pedology tour at #SSSA led us to a Vertisol formed in alluvial sediments. The carbonate masses at the base of the pit were composed of gorgeous well-formed crystals. Check the carbonate precipitated on top of laminae in picture 2 💕
