Thank you @egu-gm.bsky.social for highlighting how cool carbonate landscapes are!

An entire Nature article from 1934, I came across while reviewing literature. Times have changed...

Solving million-year problems requires more than just #AI- it needs transparency and solid #science. Could this be the future of trustworthy technology? 🔗Explore more in our latest #GeoLog post: egu.eu/3VEHLX

I’m delighted to share that our latest research has just been published in HESS. We developed an unsupervised workflow to estimate river surface velocities from videos. Testing on 11,000+ videos against 274 gauging measurements showed excellent agreement. hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

Great read!

In the next few months, Japan will finish work on an instrumented network of seafloor cables and wire it directly into a national early warning system. Learn more: scim.ag/44FXkxI

Last Wednesday the Birchgletscher in the Swiss Alps collapsed, devastating large parts of the village #Blatten and blocking the Lonza river which created a small lake. Thanks to aerial images shared by #swisstopo, I was able to create a 3D model of the area. You can explore it here 👉 skfb.ly/pxHLC

Investing in basic science more than pays for itself! Cutting NSF and NIH would hurt the US economy. (Now might be a good time to remind your congressional reps about this) www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study nearshore active faults with bathymetric surveys from an autonomous kayak! The main site will be the Kefalonia Transform Fault Zone 🇬🇷 All the info in the 🔗 below. www.gfz.de/en/career/jo...

A landscape shaped by active tectonics: the Taygetos range with the Sparta fault at its base and our @ipgp.bsky.social master and PhD students in front. The Sparta fault made the 464BCE #earthquake of magnitude 7+, an event that has likely triggered the 3rd Messenian war. ⚒️🧪

A good reality check as hydrogen creeps up in the geo-energy discourse. Whether storage or natural hydrogen production.

Landsat could use your support. The mission's 50+ year data continuity is at risk. If you believe contacting elected representatives does anything, now would be a good time to apply pressure. 🛰️📡

It's hard to believe that nearly a decade has passed since @geojane.bsky.social went to B.U.'s administration and detailed her shocking experiences as a grad student under my then-adviser, Dave Marchant. In the years since, we have learned of so, so, so many others who likewise abused their (1/7)

This is a really cool postdoc opportunity in a great research group on a beautiful campus!

Apparently surface rupture during the Myanmar 2025. I'm very surprised by the weak shaking along the rupture. I'm not sure if this is the main rupture (I would say no - nonetheless, VERY COOL). Author unknown, location Thazi (to be confirmed)

This image cannot be shared enough. This is what our country would look like if we stop pumping water out of our polders. And in the meantime, we have closed all but one earth science departments, because it’s a little but more expensive than the average study. What could possibly go wrong.

Come to my poster and let's chat about rates of natural and human-induced erosion and sediment connectivity of the Northern Andes! @egu.eu @egu-gm.bsky.social

For geomorphologists going to EGU, here is your one-page overview of all of the GM sessions and activities next week! Looking forward to a week of free and open science, EDI discussions and activities, and plenty of talk about climate change...

TopoToolbox 3 has some cool new functions. Here's how to export stream networks to shapefiles (and kml): topotoolbox.wordpress.com/2025/04/09/c... #TopoToolbox #MATLAB #terrainanalysis #geomorphometry #geomorphology

Last week, we had a #TopoToolbox Hachathon in Berlin. Read more about it here blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gm...

Exciting news!!!🎉 We are thrilled to announce the Keynote Speakers and the Schedule for the 2025 #SteepestDescentMeeting !!!🌍🏞 We are going to have exciting talks from @aaronbufe.bsky.social, from LMU Munich, and Kimberly Huppert, from City College of New York (CCNY)!🤩 (1/2)

Landscape Hydrology tenure track position at ZALF @zalf.bsky.social jobs.zalf.de/jobposting/3...

Exciting interdisciplinary postdoc opportunity, combining landscape evolution, and the evolution of species. You might also end up collaborating with me, on constraining mountain building in the Northern Andes. jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP...

For geomorphologists going to EGU - registration is now open for Steepest Descent! This is an awesome 1/2 day meeting on the Sunday before EGU. Completely ECS community organized thanks to Jesse, Caroline, Rocio, Amanda, Jonah, Reha, and Emma! www.steepestdescentmeeting.org/home

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

In this mountain biodiversity review, we emphasized roles of habitat creation, disruption, and oscillation in driving biodiversity. Additionally, we developed a set of geomorphic predictors that may influence biodiversity patterns, with the potential for application to other montane systems.

Just signed the first permanent work contract of my life! 🎉

There are two very cool things (to me) about this paper. The first is just the technique (full-waveform inversion) the other is finding remnants of tectonic plates from 100+ Myrs ago in the mantle. 🧪⚒️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new paper just released in Science last night! ⚒️🧪https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads2659 But instead of getting into the findings right now, some thoughts about doing the science. May or may not be motivated by recent events… 1/n

Geomorphologists! Just 1 day left to submit your EGU abstract! It's the 20th anniversary of the Geomorphology Division this year, so let's make it our best year yet! Don't miss your chance to join us for a week of fantastic geoscience! www.egu25.eu

Who’s going to EGU this year? Into tectonics and climate? Submit an abstract to our GM session Interactions between tectonics, climate and surface processes by Jan 15! Invited speakers: Loraine Gourbet & Jingtao Lai meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... @eurogeosciences.bsky.social

Here’s the @science.org article so that @altmetric.com picks it up :) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Just another helpful reminder that a human being on a bicycle is the most efficient amongst all animals and machines in terms of energy consumed in moving a certain distance as a function of body weight. Obvs.

Happy world soil day! Soil of the year in Germany is the Renzina (Leptosol). Rendzina is a shallow soil and common on carbonate-rich rocks. The name is Polish and describes the sound of a plough hitting the solid rock. Here is my favourite photo I took in the alps.

Can anybody update me on the state of the art for landslide mapping nowadays? Are people still using Sentinel or did everybody try to switch to Planet data? Are there still folks hand-mapping and/or using image segmentation, or am I a fool if I don't use AI?

Cosmogenic nuclide denudation rates can be biased by weathering. We show that 10Be rates in Switzerland underestimate denudation by 100%! We also show that paired 10Be+36Cl measurements can be used to determine long-term denudation AND weathering rates! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Bedrock type can strongly influence vegetation, as in this picture from Crete, Greece. Here, thin soil, low nutrient- and water availability in the limestone only allow small shrubs to grow. This effect can even be observed on a global scale! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Great to see so many people out demonstrating (again!) against the proposed budget cuts that would gut research and education in The Netherlands. nos.nl/l/2545894 @georichard.bsky.social

Do you want to talk and learn about cosmogenic nuclides? Then join the Cosmo24 conference in Cologne, with workshops and a field trip! geologie.uni-koeln.de/aktuelles/co...

after the Dutch election, the far-right G. Wilders who wants to close all mosques, leave the EU, strongly decrease foreign student numbers, and stop caring about climate, will probably become new PM. As someone supposed to move to the Netherlands in a few months, I'm utterly shocked and feel lost 😥

I guess since I'm here now, I should post something. But I'm also on leave, so there's not much happening (in terms of geology...). So here's an old drone image of a crazy high river terrace from Colombia with a chicken farm on it, and two doggos that helped me with its survey 🙃
