🌍 Join us at #EGU26! Our session #Biogeomorphology Across Scales (ITS5.3/GM2), with Magdalena Lauermann, @fbetz.bsky.social, Annegret Larsen & @alpinebiogeo.bsky.social, explores how how biotic–abiotic feedbacks shape #EarthSurfaceDynamics. 🔗 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessio...
On #mountain slopes, we previously found strong feedbacks between #geomorphic processes, #landforms and #plants. But what about #sediments? Do they matter for #biogeomorphic feedbacks? If yes, which sediment properties should we measure and how? Have a look! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Why sediments matter for mountain biogeomorphology
Grain size distributions, sediment and soil chemistry control feedback between plants and geomorphic processes across alpine hillslopes. With our developed workflow, this key sedimentological data ca...

New open access paper on headwall erosion of a deglaciating cirque in the Swiss Alps. In our study we found that headwall erosion is driven by frost weathering and permafrost rather than glacier induced rockfall. @uugeo.bsky.social #glacier #rockfall doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...
