COPL 101 Lunch Seminar with Dr. Craig Walton NOMIS–ETH Fellow at @copl-eth.bsky.social, @eth-eaps.bsky.social "New ideas of origins: Earth, life, and animals" The seminar will take place on Friday, 14 March 2025, at 12:30pm, in NO D 45, ETH Zentrum. copl.ethz.ch/events/detai...

💫 paper alert 💫 Marta's first paper of her PhD has just been published: nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/... In it, she describes the development and testing of a harmonized #earthquake #forecasting model for Europe. Not an easy thing to do. You should check out the paper!

Very happy to have played a (small) part in this excellent paper in @pnas.org by @lipidorama.bsky.social! Here, Felix et al. show the existence of a new type of quinone in N-cycling bacteria, with some big implications for aerobic metabolism timing vis-à-vis the GOE 🎉 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New study in GChron led by Chetan Nathwani - looking at what controls the shape of #zircon U-Pb date distributions in magmatic rocks and what meaningful info they can provide ⚒️🧪 gchron.copernicus.org/articles/7/1...

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.

The @nytimes.com takes a deep dive with @ethzurich.bsky.social Professor Andreas Fichtner. Using a fiber-optic cable he and his team detected tiny vibrations a mile below the surface and discovered a whole new way that ice sheets move. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/c...

For the first time, an international team of researchers led by @ethzurich.bsky.social has discovered that countless tiny ice quakes take place deep inside one of Greenland's mightiest ice streams. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

Today, we searched for meteorites - a known fall from 2022. Have you ever searched your car keys on a parking lot, for hours in the hot sun? Thats what it was like. Minus the key, plus a meteorite that perhaps isn't even there. Today, we had no luck. We'll probably try again tomorrow.

Welcome to the department!

Studierende des neuen Master-Studiengangs in Space Systems der ETH Zürich haben «Minisatelliten» entwickelt, die dereinst aktive Vulkane auf dem Planeten Venus nachweisen könnten. Getestet wurden sie auf dem Gelände des Innovationspark Zürich. www.srf.ch/play/tv/10-v...

A study led by #unibern shows that impacts on #Mars send seismic shockwaves farther and deeper than previously thought & many of the #marsquakes recorded by the #NASAInSight lander are caused by meteoroid impacts: sohub.io/wpzp. #NASAJPL @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @esascience.bsky.social

Minya Konka Arnold Heim Aug. 1930 Also called Gongga Shan (7,556 m, Sichuan), this is the most isolated 7,000ers! 🏔️ Heim's/Imhof ETHZ researchers were the first to measure accurately the mountain at ~7600 m 🗺️ Here is a view from 5,000 m toward the formidable west face with the Xiaogongba Glacier ❄️

#postdoc (or #phd) #jobalert The Experimental Planetology research group at @ethzurich.bsky.social is offering a Postdoc in Experimental Geochemistry and on the determination of liquid iron alloy densities with application to the Moon's and other planets core.

Mac (age 6, from the UK) asked Professor Sean Willett from @ethzurich.bsky.social how mountains grow. Here is what he said.

Read also about the published findings in 2023 which suggest that the liquid iron core of Mars is smaller and denser than previously thought. But not only is it smaller, but it is also surrounded by a layer of molten rock. Open access science: ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

"Sunken Worlds under the Pacific?" ⚒️ 🧪 🔭 New #press #release on our work in Nature Scientific Reports paper (led by T. Schouten et al.): New, advanced tools that image Earth's interior reveal plate remnants (?) where there shouldn't be any! 🌏 Curious? Read more here: ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

New study in PNAS: Apollo samples reveal that KREEP, the magma left after the #Moon was >99% solidified, formed 4.43 billion years ago. 🌘 This implies the Moon was born no later than ca. 140 My after the solar system’s birth. 🧪 ⚒️ @eth-eaps.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

When Solimões and Rio Negro meet, they become the massive Amazon river. But because of their difference in density, they don’t mix right away. I don’t think liquid immiscibility can get any more clear than that!

ETH researchers are developing safe methods to harness deep #GeothermalEnergy, focusing on minimizing #Earthquake risks and creating new systems, such as closed CO2 cycles. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

Jordan Aaron, Chair of the Engineering Geology research group at @ethzurich.bsky.social, has created several thousand simulations to map various scenarios to assess how far and how fast a possible landslide could travel. They then took a closer look at two different scenarios.

#phd #jobalert @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social is offering a doctoral position in geophysical glaciology. The project is part of swais2c.bsky.social and will focus on using active-source seismology to characterise the Crary Ice Rise site in West Antarctica. Check it out!
