@lmillernpr C4-ophile?

[Brian Yanites @GeomorphYuggs]

@AmyEast_gmph And our field is better because of your service. Thank you!

@codykirkpatrick pretty sure this is a live shot of my neighborhood on trash night tonight...

@NCALM_UH Are those flightline swaths? 🤣

Nice piece by @CBSNews and @malkoff on landslides and Hurricane Helene. https://t.co/seCskYBvuQ

Bonkers. The French Broad River in North Carolina is currently forecasted to crest 10 feet above its previous record and the stage for 'Major flooding'.

Kid 1 said if you turn it on its side, it looks like a tree. “Well, let’s sit down and talk about fractals.”

@CinTyLeeEarth This is great. One other version: the Great Mediator paper. Take the tug-of-war scenario, but instead of taking a side, the paper says, "You're both kind of wrong and both kind of right." (just published one in this category).

Check out this exciting working coming out of @IU_EAS !!

🚨 New Paper Alert!🚨: Excited to share my latest work in @Nature on river avulsions—catastrophic shifts in river courses that threaten millions worldwide. We've uncovered new rules that govern when and where avulsions occur. https://t.co/BFxd5Sp0jV

Really happy to see this work come out led by my buddy Tyler Doane (now at DRI). We looked at topographic roughness (std. dev of elevation) and how it can be inverted for geomorphic process history.

#Landslides are common in the US. In fact, nearly 44% of the country could experience one, potentially catastrophically. Our new national landslide susceptibility map shows where they’re most likely to occur: https://t.co/pW9lwvhTBo

Woww... really impressive rock avalanche today in Vallon de Bérard (Aig. Rouges, Vallorcine)! 🔥

Seems to originate from Aig. de l'Encrenaz (2887 m) and went down to valley floor at 1700 m... 😱

Look at the size of those bouncing boulders! 🪨

Sound on ! 🔊

Such a fun paper to work on with the brilliant @SarahSchanz1 ! Sediment cover FTW (again)!

[JGR-Earth Surface @JGREarthSurface]

✨Editor's Pick✨

Schanz and Yanites (2024) use a combined fluvial and glacial landscape evolution model to explore the impact of glaciation on continental-scale sediment flux and denudation.

@codykirkpatrick Is cheering for a sports team ‘expressive activity’?

This afternoon’s storms seemed to come out of nowhere…even too fast for one bicyclist to react. Neighbors near 61st and Thurston in Milwaukee tell he ended up being okay!
