Today: during a #hike / #hedgewatch on #Fuerteventura my humans visited the #Corralejo natural park & saw mini dunes #travel . Some #sand grains jump. This #sediment transport process by #wind is called #saltation . It's between rolling& transport in suspsension (air,water)

Geomorphology of a river: what happens when you install a dam or a weir and how the sediment transport changes

Geomorphology of a river: what happens when you install a dam or a weir and how the sediment transport changes

How well do #turbulence models capture the fluid/particle interface in turbidity currents? We're starting to look into this using #opensource code NGA2. Run it yourself:
github.com/jessecaps/NGA2…. Exciting potential for understanding sediment transport in oceans and rivers!

Ridge-runnel patterns do not only affect #hydrodynamics and sediment transport; they also are quite literally 'stepping stones' for #saltmarsh colonization. But how are these sediment ridges and drainage runnels formed in the first place? 🧵2/7👇

Albert Einstein's son, Hans Albert Einstein, was a famous hydraulic engineering professor who developed important equations for sediment transport in rivers. When reporters asked Albert what he thought of his son's career, he replied, 'He is working on a more difficult problem.'

Very sad to know about the passing of Prof. Paul D. Komar late last week😢
His early📚are among my most precious possessions: they sparked my passion for coastal processes, longshore drift, & sediment transport.

🚨🚨Do you have exciting new research to share about new ways to measure and model sediment transport? If yes, please consider submitting an abstract to our session GM2.2 'New Approaches for Monitoring and Modelling Sediment Transport' at #EGU24 !

The erosion sim is improving. Just read half a textbook on fluid dynamics and sediment transport. 😅

When simulation comes to life. Was walking near the Los Penasquitos Lagoon and witnessed bedload sediment transport outside of a flume for the first time. The video shows bed sediment transported into the water column by near-bed turbulent bursts. #Fluids

🌊 Exciting #postdoc opportunity at GTK! Join our Marine Geology group and use cutting-edge acoustic and optical sensors on our new benthic lander to study sediment transport dynamics in the Baltic Sea.

📢NEW PAPER📢

What ancient glacial features in the #NorthSea can tell us about:

- Europe's glacial history

- Ice sheet water and sediment transport in a warming world

- How effective carbon capture and storage efforts might be in the North Sea
