Amanda Heidt is at ESA26!@scattercushion.bsky.social · 4mo ago🧪Hello all! I'm here with a #sourcerequest for @nature.com. I'm writing up a piece on low-tech lab tools. We place a lot of importance on technological innovation, but what are the simple things (DIY maybe?) that you find yourself turning to again and again? Please RT and let me know!
Wohoo! Congrats @nicolegasparini.bsky.social! Well deserved.
CSDMS@csdms.bsky.social · 4mo agoNicole Gasparini, Tulane U is the recipient of the CSDMS 2026 Distinguished Career Award! She's recognized for her deep & sustained contributions to analysis & understanding of geomorphic systems through use of novel & innovative numerical modeling.

Good opportunity to point out a memoir of a giant in our field. Was a great read during grad school. Reminded me that I could be studying geomorphology under very different circumstances: uapress.arizona.edu/book/sand-wi...

Pretty sure that ‘colloquially’ people don’t think of composition when they hear ‘gravel’ or ‘clay’ either
Take that U. of Chicago! We now have as many Heisman Trophies as you! #heismendoza

Can we now stop saying that once suspended sediment returns to pre-event levels, then the system response is over? Great paper here with relevance to cascading hazards and landscape evolution.

shamelessly made a bluesky account so I could plug my first first-author paper (!) on postfire erosion in steep rocky catchments -- go check her out! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The influence of wildfire on debris flows in a landscape of persistent disequilibrium: Columbia River Gorge, OR, USA
Debris flow erosion in rocky catchments of northern Oregon (USA) is found to be relatively insensitive to fire conditions.

Dave Petley@davepetley.bsky.social · 12mo agoOn 21 July 2025, an extremely large rock avalanche occurred in the mountains in Wanrong Township in Hualien County, Taiwan. Initial measurements suggest that this ran out for about 6 kilometres. Image by @planet.com on the Google Earth DEM. An initial description is here:- eos.org/thelandslide...
