Just out in Science Advances with @topotoolbox.bsky.social: Submarine canyons preferentially form where the seafloor is steepest—not where rivers bring much sediment. Our global study reveals what controls canyon distribution and the world’s oceans. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Seafloor slopes control submarine canyon distribution: A global analysis

Submarine canyon distribution is driven by slope inclination, linking tectonic and thermal forces to canyon formation.

I'm reposting this again, because we are still offering a 2-year postdoc position at @climatecerege.bsky.social and we are looking for applicants!

🚨Postdoc job offer!🚨 We are currently looking for a climate modeler to work with us at @climatecerege.bsky.social on Eocene climate simulations, to investigate the past connectivity of forested ecosystems and the mechanisms of primates dispersal. Job ad here: nuage.osupytheas.fr/s/PSdj4ns2SE...

Very grateful to have been awarded an #ERCCoG grant! The SeaSALT project aims at understanding how individual diking and fault slip events compete to accommodate extension at mid-ocean ridges… and end up shaping 2/3 of our planet’s surface. Stay tuned for future PhD/postdoc opportunities at ENS!

I am very happy to share that I received funding from the ERC to study sediment transport and weathering across floodplains - Looking forward to starting the project next year, following a parental leave. #ERCStG
