Earth Surface Process Modelling at GFZ

We develop models for the processes controlling the evolution of the Earth's surface. @jeanbraun_ @GFZ_potsdam

Last summer for @GFZ_SurfMod's contribution to LNDW23, #fastscape was used together with Jupyter widgets to create a special kind of photo booth. A fun way to show how landscape evolution models work!

Thanks to those who joined my public talk yesterday. The discussion was very interesting and lively. Hope we will have more early warning works to come.

Postdoctoral opening! We are looking for a researcher to work on erosional thresholds across a variety of landscapes from volcanic islands to active orogens. The project is supervised by Loraine Gourbet.

To cap the week, @EricDealFluvial presented his new work on river channel width and the physical models to capture it.

We had the pleasure of hosting Eyal Marder from @IU_EAS this week who presented his work on the interplay of tectonics, climate, and biodiversity in mountain landscapes.

📢 Tectonic Modelling Tuesday #22, with the numerical work by Chuanqi He & co. (@ZJU_China, @GFZ_Potsdam, @VUamsterdam, @q_nationaltaiwa, & partners in #China) on landscape response to normal fault linkage!😃More details in their 2021 Geomorphology paper: https://t.co/6g1yE4wWfO

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting @laura_quick from @ProjectPamana at U. Glasgow who presented a very hi-rez topographic dataset of a gravel river over several years. This is done to improve understanding of evolving flood risk.

Day 13 #TGIF and last day of The Factory was ended by a mathematics for geoscientists course taught by ⁦⁦@jeanbraun_⁩ from ⁦@GFZ_SurfMod⁩
He taught some fundamental maths and statistics to help ESRs with modelling landscape evolution, and analyzing their data #PhD

Daniel O'Hara (@VUBrussel) stopped by to tell us how fluvial landscapes emerge on volcanoes. Very interesting work on snapshots through time in the retired life of a 🌋!

Dear all, for the MSCA Doctoral Network on environmental seismology #envseis, we are looking for a graduate student. Please RT! https://t.co/5iOh8m03xX https://t.co/dK5Lkd3j6a

We just had a great talk by @ErinLHarvey from @CU_EARTH about the controls on the grain size and runout of post-EQ debris flows in Wenchuan, and identifying the associated underestimated risks. Thanks for stopping by Erin!

@NMGasparini @AdamForte83 @WSchwanghart Bigger Font, More Letters! 🙇🏻‍♂️

[S2S-Future ITN @S2sItn]

The Chemical Weathering team (led by Emmanuelle Pucéat) met in Dijon at @univbourgogne to discuss the implementation of the results our ESRs have compiled into the models developed by the modelling work package (led by Jean Braun)

We had the pleasure to listen to @DavidGLitwin nondimensionalize all parameters of groundwater flow and redimensionalize it all again to find Dunne (1975). Thanks for making the trip!

It was a good experience for me in Eifel-LargeN-Deployment @GFZ_Potsdam Thank you everyone for nice working! @QFieldCloud

[Earth Surface Process Modelling at GFZ @GFZ_SurfMod]

We have an open position for a new group leader in our section!
Tomorrow, Sept. 15th, there will be a zoom Q&A session with Jean Braun about the position. Details in the ad listed below.
🗓️application by Oct. 2nd.

Today we had the visit of @susannebuiter, our new Director at @GFZ_potsdam as she tours the Institute’s many sections. It was an honor to present her our strongest skill, and also to talk about the science we do.
🇧🇪🧇*🇧🇪

*the Liège sort ofc

Some Ukrainian 🇺🇦 and nearby stations have been already set up in #SeisComP 5 with the help of Section 2.4: Seismology, @GFZ_Potsdam, @GFZ_SurfMod ran into a problem with the inventory due to “homemade” sensors and dataloggers

Identical initial landscapes, same stream power law and flow routine parameters, but different methods to resolve local minima ⛰️💻🧐
