Identical initial landscapes, same stream power law and flow routine parameters, but different methods to resolve local minima ⛰️💻🧐

In Landscape Evolution Models, the choice of the method that resolves how/where water flows out of local minima (here depressions on an initially rough surface) has large consequences for the end result as Boris shows 👨🏻‍🏫🏞️🏔️🖥️

Congratulations to Joanne on submitting her PhD thesis after almost 5 years of hard work! She will defend privately on September 26th, which will be followed by a public defense later in the year.

Finished 3 day on Sado Island (Sea of 🗾) to scope out sampling sites for a larger project w/ Sumiko Tsukamoto et al. (if funded 🤞🏻). Steep treads & v. thick sediment cover. Straths & outcrops overgrown in summer🌿🌲🌳🌱, a few ❌ on the map nonetheless! thx 【公式】佐渡ジオパーク推進協議会 #佐渡島

0.7m of rain over 24h at the Kirishima Kinkowan Ntnl Park!!! The flanks of Shinmoedake (📷 from last yr) must have eroded quite a lot! Curious about the state of the rivers downstream. We're in Fukuoka, 👁 passed a few hours ago, now quiet and dry.

Large sediment plumes in the Suruga Bay after the passage of #台風15号 in Shizuoka Pref. where it rained >300mm in last 24:00. Shizuoka on ⬅️, typhoon moving east on ➡️, Fuji san peeks through the clouds. Looking north on a Nagasaki>Tokyo ✈️

Beautiful clouds as we flew around typhoon 15 (I think). Just west of Tokyo. #台風15号

Five weeks in Japan and I could not catch a Lechonk! Sorry Boris Gailleton , I'm just bringing you a pokeball we can use for a later catch

🎁 Surprise in the mail today! Four Raspberry Shake to be deployed in Ukraine by Tetiana Amashukeli 🇺🇦 in a pilot project to help with the maintenance and modernization of the 🇺🇦 seismic network ahead of the recovery. 👀 Alba Rodriguez

On Friday, Bar will show how rivers can help map patterns of long-term uplift at subduction zones, and draw connections with sort-term seismic cycles (15:55 in S102ab, T55A-02) #AGU22

Under the #MSCA4Ukraine 🇪🇺🇺🇦 initiative, 13 doctoral candidates and 111 postdoctoral researchers from Ukraine will receive funding to continue their work in EU Member States and #HorizonEU associated countries. Read more about the selection results ⬇️

Erdbebengefährdete #Küstenregionen: In einem Projekt DFG public | @[email protected] untersuchen in #Japan Forschende des #LIAG + des GFZ den Einfluss von #Tektonik, Meeresspiegelschwankungen & unterschiedlichen Wellenstärken auf die Entstehung von #Meeresterrassen t.ly/N3Ef

Interested in cracking landscapes? Luca C Malatesta Alba Rodriguez Kélian Dascher-Cousineau and I have proposed an #AGU23 session exploring links between #tectonic fracturing, #erosion and the #CriticalZone. Join the #TectonicRockCrusher fun by submitting your abstract! 👇 agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/preli… AGU_EPSP

PhD opportunity at GFZ to study why and how marine terraces are created and preserved in tectonically active coastal landscapes, with a focus on Japan. Field/num.mod./GIS. Project is co-led with Sumiko Tsukamoto . Contact me if you are interested!
