Congratulations to Dr. Rivka Amit, former head of the Geological Survey of Israel, for receiving the INQUA honorary life fellowship at the recent INQUA congress held in Rome (July 2023)! Dr. Amit is the third Israeli scientist that received this prestigious award.

📯📯📯 Our paper on the Geomorphic Effectiveness of Landslides is on the cover of JGR-Earth Surface! Check it out here: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

🧵 1/3 Very excited to share here our new publication in PNAS! We reveal how drainage divides don't migrate steadily but in intermittent pulses, likely linked to paleoclimate shifts 🌍 📄 DOI: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #Geomorphology #LandscapeEvolution #Paleoclimate #OSL

🧵 2/3 We traced the paleo locations of a drainage divide in the Negev Desert, Israel, by dating alluvial terraces. We found that divide migration occurs in intermittent phases, which correlate with several paleoclimate proxies, linking migration to past climate shifts.

🧵 3/3 This is the first study to detect changes in divide migration rates over timescales of 10⁴–10⁵ years—a scale that enables us to link divide migration to past climate shifts, rather than solely to tectonic forces.
