The Matai’an landslide dam in eastern Taiwan has failed this afternoon (eos.org/thelandslide...), flooding Guangfu, about 15 km downstream focustaiwan.tw/society/2025.... Even in the middle of a typhoon, the resulting flood produced a detectable seismic signal at stations ~40 km away.

New Study in ES&T! Permafrost peatlands accumulate mercury from distant sources, but thaw causes collapse into wetter bogs and fens. Lauren Thompson shows that these bogs, and especially fens, become hotspots for mercury methylation, and potential downstream transport. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

There's been a lot of (model-based) hype over the years about a "large Neoproterozoic DOC reservoir" that could have triggered the end of snowball earth and the proliferation of multi-cellular life. BUT here we show this was not the case. Instead, DOC levels were about 90% lower than today

🚨 Paper alert! 🚨 After >1 year in review and six (6!) reviewers, I'm thrilled that this paper is finally out! Here, we provide the first data-based record of marine dissolved organic carbon in the geologic past. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Can we now stop saying that once suspended sediment returns to pre-event levels, then the system response is over? Great paper here with relevance to cascading hazards and landscape evolution.

New paper! Led by Gen Li on “Large riverbed sediment flux sustained for a decade after an earthquake” 🧪 ⚒️ www.nature.com/articles/s41... And see write up below @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social

New in @science.org: Natural hazards aren’t “one and done.” They alter the landscape, changing the likelihood of follow-on events. We argue there’s an urgent opportunity for geomorphologists—working with other disciplines—to better understand and forecast cascading hazards.

Can tropical corals find refuge at higher latitudes under future warming? In our new paper in Science Advances, we argue that coral range expansion will be *far too slow* for most coral species to outpace climate change. 🪸🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... A short 🧵 (1/16)

Dean et al. @nature.com reveals that most CO2 emitted by global rivers derives not from modern plant material, as was thought, but from ancient, buried carbon www.nature.com/articles/s41... How & to what extent will the age of riverine CO2 + land C storage will change in the future? rdcu.be/eprek

New research has shown rivers release ancient carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, uncovering a greater role for plants and soil in the carbon cycle 🌱 Featuring @profbobhilton.bsky.social‬ Read the full story: buff.ly/yv82d3X

A recent Facebook post has highlighted a reasonably large rotational landslide on the Lakina River in Alaska. @planet.com images suggest that this occurred in late October or early November 2024.
