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/...

Everyone should watch this. I haven't seen anyone else in the U.S. laying this playbook out so clearly.

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

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study submarine faults "just offshore". The postdoc will participate in all steps of the research from the development of an autonomous kayak w/ sonar to the analysis of bathymetric data for active tectonics. 📆 22 June! www.gfz.de/en/career/jo...

Fun first day at #INCISE2025 - #submarinecanyons symposium! Amazing venue at ICM-CSIC in Barcelona, stunning views, and a hands-on workshop on deep-sea structure-from-motion. Bonus: piloting a mini-ROV to 3D map the pool floor!

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

As a former international grad student in the U.S., I see this with deep horror. I feel such sorrow—for the international students affected and for the intellectual loss to Harvard and the US. Nothing great can come from it.

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."

Join us at Geo4Göttingen 2025, Sept 14–18 @ Uni Göttingen. Deadline: May 20 Submit here 👉 www.geo4goettingen2025.de/call-for-abs... 🌍 Featuring joint session: Geomorphology & Sedimentology beyond boundaries!!! Keynote: Prof. Kevin Norton #Geo4Göttingen2025 #CallForAbstracts

Will be teaching 4th semester BSc students about the beauty of sedimentary structures next Monday. Look at these wonderful flame structures in Miocene turbidites from the Austrian Molasse Basin! #Geology #Sedimentology #Turbidites #FlameStructures #EarthScience #GeoEducation #BScGeology

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

🌍 Study Geology – Shape the Future! At Freie Universität Berlin, explore how our planet works: climate change, resources, natural hazards. Hands-on learning, field trips & research prepare you for global challenges. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ar-... #Geology #FUBerlin #EarthScience

Great opportunity!
