Sedimentary Systems Group - FU Berlin

@sedsystems.bsky.social

The Sedimentary Systems Group at FU Berlin studies how climate change & tectonic activity reshapes Earth’s surface by combining geomorphology and sedimentology to trace sediment & biomarkers from mountain rivers to the deep ocean. Lead: Anne Bernhardt

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

Vielen Dank fürs Teilen! 🙌 Wir freuen uns sehr, unsere Ergebnisse zur Entstehung von Tiefsee-Canyons nun in Science Advances zu veröffentlichen – mit spannenden neuen Einblicken in die Dynamik des Meeresbodens. 🌍🔬 #ScienceAdvances #Geoscience #SubmarineCanyons #Forschung

🌊 Tiefsee-Canyons: riesig, verborgen – und klimarelevant. Eine neue Studie von @sedsystems.bsky.social und @topotoolbox.bsky.social zeigt: Entscheidend für deren Entstehung ist nicht die Nähe zu Flüssen, sondern wie steil der der Meeresboden ist. #ScienceAdvances ➡️ Alle Infos: tinyurl.com/a3kekm2m

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.

What do tax cuts for the rich do? They increase inequality. They have no effect on economic growth or unemployment. "Our results provide strong evidence against the influential political–economic idea that tax cuts for the rich ‘trickle down’ to boost the wider economy."

Die Frage "Ist das Klimaziel erreichbar?" tauchte heute etliche Male auf und stört zugleich extrem. Denn sie suggeriert, dass wir eine Wahl hätten. Nach dem Motto: Wenn's nicht klappt, haben wir es wenigstens versucht. Wenn's nicht klappt, war's das.

The NSF funding cuts are a disaster for science and society - globally! Slashing support for research means fewer innovations, less climate resilience, and a blow to education. We need investment in knowledge, not cuts. #FundScience #NSF #ScienceMatters #ResearchCrisis
