EGU24 is almost here! For the geomorphologists attending, here is a handy 1-page overview of the GM sessions and division events!

After an intense storm in a small town where I have visited few months ago....

A global runoff model. That's a very useful product that can be widely applied! nature.com/articles/s4156…

COSMO24 in Cologne was a blast! Thanks to all the organizers. Great discussions, great community. I'm already looking forward to COSMO26 in France!

My mind blown yesterday🤯 Hartland Quay, Devon, 🇬🇧 Ps. I will provide more on #fridayfold

Long-term biotic homogenization in the East African Rift System over the last 6 million years of hominin evolution rdcu.be/dNPGk

After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a

Hack's Law describes the relationship between the length of a river and it's drainage area. Chuanqi He shows that this relationship holds over 5 orders of magnitude in area, from the smallest creek to the Nile. Nature organizes itself! to the paper: tinyurl.com/yzccdwnn

Great opportunity within a great group!

How long do ecosystems need to recover from a mass extinction? I am glad to share today's paper in Science: "Biodiversity impact of the Messinian salinity crisis", in collab with Konstantina Agiadi and many others. 1/5 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

And another great postdoc opportunity in an awesome interdisciplinary group at GFZ Potsdam! This time focused on active tectonics. tinyurl.com/3h5tcrt8

Bedrock type can strongly influence vegetation, as in this picture from Crete, Greece. Here, thin soil, low nutrient- and water availability in the limestone only allow small shrubs to grow. This effect can even be observed on a global scale! doi.org/10.1029/2020GL…

"Fun"fact of the day: Tolerable soil erosion rates in Europe as stated by government agencies are 0.3-2 t/ha/yr (1-7 mm/a for geomorph people). This means if flat farmland erodes more slowly than the highest parts of the Himalaya, nothing bad can happen 🙃
