Bottom trawling devours vast numbers of sea creatures, many not killed for food but as bycatch. At the same time it scours the seabed, destroying the habitat young sea life needs to grow - leading to generational decline in population & biodiversity. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/ocean-f...

Beaver reintroduction is such a powerful reminder of how deeply entangled human and natural agency has become in the #Anthropocene. How will decisions like this be archived by Earth? Will we be able to tell the difference between the signals of humans, paws, and policies? 🦫🌍 #BeaverDay #Rewilding

A good part of my job is to read extremely concerning studies in order to compose cross-sectional view of What's At Stake and work out ways to engage stakeholders This is, without hyperbole, the most concerning thing I have read in a long time www.scientificamerican.com/article/micr...

Did you know the Vikings made swords from swamp water? Groundwater from a spring carries dissolved iron; when this water reaches a bog, acidity and certain bacteria can turn it into iron oxide Sifting this out, one gets ore to make "bog iron", the main source of iron in Scandinavia until ~1300 CE

While the local socioeconomic and ecological co-benefits of agroforestry are known, the consequences for deforestation at landscape scale are unclear. Now Hong Chen Teo et al. show that across forests in Southeast Asia, agroforestry has led to a net reduction of deforestation. shorturl.at/ZJUDE

Cyclone #Alfred 🌀 caused severe beach erosion in #Queensland, shifting vast amounts of sand offshore and exposing soft #sediment cliffs. 🌊 This dramatic change can feel shocking, but it’s actually part of a fascinating and ongoing sediment cycle… 📸 Images: 4ussiestyle (IG)

A new study showing how “safer” industrial chemicals don’t always stay that way🧪 Once in the environment, flame retardants can break down into more toxic compounds! These will accumulate in sediments, posing long-term risks. #ForeverChemicals don’t just persist—they transform. #envsci #pollution

🌱 Restoring vegetation is a type of land use change we don’t talk about enough! It doesn’t just green the landscape—it improves soil retention, reduces landscape denudation, and enhances air quality. 🌍 The Anthropocene isn’t just a story of loss. 💚 #GenerationRestoration

A beautiful composite technofossil! 😍 The bottom waters of Lake Constance are up to 250 m deep, so it’s calm enough to preserve layers and artifacts in remarkable condition! To describe this object as a sediment, it is a composite rod of wood, stone, and tar, with a moderate-high absolute density.
