Anatomy of a massive landslide #tsunami facilitated by #climatechange in the Subarctic

Was great to have you here at Heidelberg, @stever60.bsky.social !!!

💎 Diamond Open Access ftw! 🙌🏽

The last breath of winter last week got us some fabulous hikes in knee-deep snow ❄️🤍🏔️ #Alps #Garmisch #Höllental

Happy to have Aleksandre Prosperini #PhDstudent @sorbonne-universite.fr back in our lab through a @daadworldwide.bsky.social scholarship - last week exploring the relic periglacial block field of Felsenmeer, a local #geomorph gem 💎 #Odenwald 🇩🇪 (yeh, it gets busy on a weekend...)

March 11 marks the 15th anniversary of the 3rd-largest seismic event ever recorded, the magnitude 9.1 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Recovery from this devastating event is still ongoing. Research into ways to make our society more resilient to nature's unpredictability continues.

We still have a long way to go for climate education 😵...

Das muss man erstmal schaffen, ein Gesetzesvorhaben zu präsentieren, das so durchsichtig ausschließlich fossilen Lobbyinteressen dient, allen anderen aber schadet, dass man diese Phalanx aus Kritik inspiriert. Chapaeau, Schwarz-Rot! Hier eine kleine Auswahl.

This study on historical clay extraction in the floodplain the late-glacial palaeo-channel of the Neckar river evolved from several undergrad field courses and is our first collaboration with the #Hessen State Archive @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @henselowsky.bsky.social doi.org/10.5194/egqs...

Got 6 of them from the 📘 shop yesterday - 🎄🎁 for everyone in my team 🙌🏽

I met Martin Koehler #phdstudent #UQ #Australia at the 2024 #ISROC field school St. Croix #USVI. This week he visited @uniheidelberg.bsky.social and presented his work on coastal boulder deposits in the South Pacific #Tonga. Good opportunity for a short tour of the (geo)highlights of #Heidelberg!

Paid the German conference on Luminescence and Electron-Spin Resonance Dating #DLED2025 @uniheidelberg.bsky.social a visit today. Gorgeous location right below the castle at the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, and definitely the best conference gadget! dled2025.geog.uni-heidelberg.de

The rate at which the Philippines are hit by super-typhoons is breathtaking. At the same time it is 💔 to see how global leaders seem to absolutely not care about the accelerating impacts of climate change as reflected by their policies.

BREAKING: The Philippines declares a state of emergency after Typhoon Kalmaegi leaves at least 114 dead and hundreds missing in central provinces.

Start of the winter term @uniheidelberg.bsky.social #geography undergrads let's go!

Today we concluded the @ialipa2025.bsky.social conference on #palaeolimnology and #limnogeology at Aix-les-Bains🇨🇵 with the session on #coastal lakes and #lagoons - Katharina Hess @uniheidelberg.bsky.social #geography presenting her work on palaeo-storms and #tsunamis in the #Shetland Islands

Mw=7.4, MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES (Depth: 62 km), 2025/10/10 01:43:59 UTC - Full details here: http://geoscope.ipgp.fr/scripts/seismes/fiche.php?seis=us6000rfwz

After a solid week of lake coring and sampling for #storm and #tsunami deposits on the #Shetland Islands, we found this yet undocumented gem 💎 on northern Mainland - a distinct gravel layer inside the coastal dunes. Hoping for good OSL results 🤞🏽

📽️🎬🍿🙌🏽

Indeed, Loch Flugarth #ShetlandIslands is a beauty on the inside AND the outside! @stever60.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social
