Check out #ttminvoellmy, a #MATLAB and #TopoToolbox software to simulate rock avalances ⛰️. You can download the toolbox here: github.com/TopoToolbox/... . Reply with videos of your simulations here 🔽

Hello Bluesky! 🦋🏞️ We are organizing weekly seminars for scientists to present their research in and around geomorphology. Affiliated with @eurogeosciences.bsky.social GM More information on our website: www.landscapeslive.org

Public notice: If you want to read a research article, please don't pay for the paper on the publisher's website. All that money goes to the publisher, we don't get any of it. Instead, contact us. We'll be happy to send you the paper :-).

Gestern Abend sollte ich auf einem Podium kurz die wichtigsten Folgen der Klimawandels zusammenfassen. Ich war nicht ganz zufrieden mit meiner Antwort. Nicht prägnant genug, manches vergessen... Heute habe ich ChatGPT gefragt - und war überrascht, wie kompetent die Antwort war! Probiert es selbst.

Tomorrow's the last day of my one-week #BSc level #TopoToolbox course. At the end, students will be able to calculate stream networks, analyze them, and combine geospatial modelling and visualization techniques. This course has a steep learning curve, but is also great fun.

In Anbetracht aktueller internationaler und nationaler Entwicklungen haben wir vom #VGDH eine Stellungnahme aus Sorge um #Wissenschaftsfreiheit und #Diversität verfasst. Nicht nur, aber auch ein Thema was die #Geographie betrifft vgdh.de/aktuelles/20...

I argue here we need to follow the science not the whims of politicians. Greenland's value is its ice. Free to republish. Pass it on. Spread the word. We need to bring science and rational thought back into the national dialogue . @us.theconversation.com 💙📚🧪 theconversation.com/greenlands-r...

Slashing of Federal science support - so awful for people who have worked so hard to support America's science enterprise for at the National Science Foundation. This is hardly the way to innovate and solve pressing problems like climate change and biodiversity. www.science.org/content/arti...

In a new review paper, the authors combine literature review and data synthesis to explore the influence of topography on the global terrestrial water cycle, from the atmosphere down to the groundwater @topotoolbox.bsky.social @egu-esurf.bsky.social @agu.org #AGUPubs doi.org/10.1029/2023...

"Remember Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. Four feet of sea-level rise floods the lower lawn. Six feet and the Atlantic Ocean may trickle into the lobby. Melt Greenland’s ice sheet and only Mar-a-Lago’s upper story and tower protrude above the waves" @paul-bierman.bsky.social tinyurl.com/bdd559ww

Good morning, #Berlin.

Der gleiche Fehler, immer wieder, überall. Man schwächt die Rechten nicht, indem man ihre Themen übernimmt !!!

This should be happening EVERYWHERE!

Time for a #ScienceMarchOnWashington with star power like Bill Nye. We need leaders like @zekeemanuel.bsky.social petitioning college presidents to go to Congress, and teach-ins by Nobel Laureates to teach students what's happening. Where are the leaders? Repost to help find them 🧪

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

REPOST REPOST!!

Finding reviewers is hard and Copernicus journals thank all who dedicate their time to secure quality and rigor www.egu.eu/news/1252/eg... Note also that Copernicus is non-profit, and thus your reviewing time solely contributes to the advancement of science, and not for the profit of stockholders.

Me explaining academic publishing to non-academic friends and family. For some reason, they always assumed the journals paid me 😂 #academia #phd #AcademicSky #PhDchat

Why is Mount Everest the world’s highest peak?

#Klimastreik

Es ist 2025, die Klimakrise eskaliert & Faschisten wollen die Welt verbrennen. Das lassen wir nicht zu. Morgen gehen wir an über 150 Orten in ganz Deutschland auf die Straße für den Schutz von Klima & Demokratie. Du wirst gebraucht, see you on the streets!

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

Xinhua has released this image of the #landslide that killed 30 people in Sichuan today. Look at the super-elevation as it went round the first bend. It was moving quite fast.

Mer de Glace from Signal Forbes 😰 1st Sept. 1995 | 14th Oct. 2024 Not even 30 years... 😱 The 1970-80s were marked by few positive MB years 1995 was the peak of the subsequent re-advance at MdG 2024 is just another year on the path of anthropogenic glacier demise 🔥 1995 pic by @HayakawaYukio 🙏

Mountain permafrost thaw can have devastating consequences on slope stability and can contribute to massive lake outburst floods.

Our new paper in Science (Sattar et al 2025) analyses the causes, process and impacts of the 3-4 October 2023 landslide-triggered GLOF along the Teesta River in Northern India. This was an amazing event - I've provided a summary of the research on the Landslide Blog:- eos.org/thelandslide...

Glad to share our paper published in the journal “Science” titled “The Sikkim flood of October 2023: Drivers, causes and impacts of a multihazard cascade.” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New paper today in @science.org focused on unraveling the chain of events that led to the 2023 Teesta disaster, which resulted in about 130 people either dead or missing in Sikkim, India. Short thread to follow. 🧪⚒️ doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Where we study #coastal #groundwater is significantly biased. This skewed view limits our understanding of natural processes and how climate change and human activities impact coastal ecosystems. Check out the full paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Good to see our work cited. But this is just wrong. @watershedlab.bsky.social

FCK NZS! #Berlin being strong 💪

📢 I'm teaching a Geographic Software Design course this semester at the University of Tennessee! 🎉 All course materials will be freely available online, with new video lectures dropping three times a week.
