Ok, next level. Simulating a landslide hitting a proglacial lake, producing a #GLOF. Note that the flood is (not yet) able to erode but just spills through two channels. In reality, the displacement wave would probably incise and widen the outflow channels, triggering a more severe flood downstream.

GraphFlood is finally available in the MATLAB version of TopoToolbox. Check out my latest blog entry. Simulating steady flow has never been as easy as this. topotoolbox.wordpress.com/2025/07/30/g... #TopoToolbox #Hydrology #Hydraulics #Flood

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/...

🌊 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
Here's my first blog entry on using #TopoToolbox with #Python. See how to run Boris Gailleton's GraphFlood and display water depth along with a longitudinal river profile. topotoolbox.wordpress.com/2025/04/15/p...

Exciting interdisciplinary postdoc opportunity, combining landscape evolution, and the evolution of species. You might also end up collaborating with me, on constraining mountain building in the Northern Andes. jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP...

This is the kinda shit that happens when you ignore science and scientists. Just go ask people whose homes burned in wildfires, were swept away by floods, or are inundated by rising sea level. In red states and blue. Hear no climate harm, see no climate harm, do lots of climate harm. 🧪 #scicomms

I argue here we need to follow the science not the whims of politicians. Greenland's value is its ice. Free to republish. Pass it on. Spread the word. We need to bring science and rational thought back into the national dialogue . @us.theconversation.com 💙📚🧪 theconversation.com/greenlands-r...

Slashing of Federal science support - so awful for people who have worked so hard to support America's science enterprise for at the National Science Foundation. This is hardly the way to innovate and solve pressing problems like climate change and biodiversity. www.science.org/content/arti...

Time for a #ScienceMarchOnWashington with star power like Bill Nye. We need leaders like @zekeemanuel.bsky.social petitioning college presidents to go to Congress, and teach-ins by Nobel Laureates to teach students what's happening. Where are the leaders? Repost to help find them 🧪
Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence
