She tells [us about] seashells [and how they affect sediment transport] on the seashore! 🐚🌊⛏️ Congratulations to @tjkooistra.bsky.social on her latest PhD paper in @jgroceans.bsky.social ! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

How Shells of Different Shapes Affect Current‐Driven Sand Transport

Sandy seabeds with shells require higher depth-averaged flows for initiation of motion of the sand than a bare sandy seabed Both round and elongated shells decrease bedload transport of sand up t...

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Is your reservoir full of sediment? Patricia Buffon has a solution for you! Take a look at her awesome new paper, which uses lab experiments to investigate scour and sediment transport by jets: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Evolution of Erosion and Deposition Induced by an Impinging Jet to Manage Sediment

Direct and indirect transport modes for suspended sediment from the scour hole were identified and quantified Self-similarity of longitudinal bed profiles is demonstrated for the erosion and depo...

Last week, I showed our research on sediment mixing by benthic animals at the Dutch Earth Sciences conference (NWO-NAC). I had interesting chats with geologists, learned a lot (amongst others about dinosaurs and plate tectonics😂) and won the second price with my poster!

Where does my sandcastle go when it washes away? In my favourite paper we see coasts as a connected network of sandy pathways. This approach helps us better understand and manage the sand that builds ecosystems and protects us against flooding! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Sediment Connectivity: A Framework for Analyzing Coastal Sediment Transport Pathways

Connectivity schematizes sediment transport pathways as a directed graph (series of nodes and links) We present a novel application of graph theory and network analysis to characterize complex coas...
