Nice piece by @CBSNews and @malkoff on landslides and Hurricane Helene. cbsnews.com/news/geologists-…

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.”

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. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

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: ow.ly/4l7350Tlilh

ALT A map of the United States including Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico shows landslide susceptibility from yellow (fewer landslides) to red (more landslides), where the areas without shading represent negligible potential for landslides. Higher landslide susceptibility is evident across most mountainous terrain within the U.S., but there is also considerable potential scattered throughout other areas of the country.

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)!

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.

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!

Oh man, doubly whammy on the mountains shaken by the April 3rd Mw7.4 Earthquake.

Absolutely ludicrous. Typhoon #Gaemi makes sharp unexpected turn south right before slamming #Taiwan coast, then loops around and is now headed for the 2nd attempted landfall. Friction from the large mountains deflected the storm by disrupting the circulation credit: @BMcNoldy

Very excited to share our new paper in @ScienceAdvances integrating geologic and fossil records to understand how mountain building generates and maintains high biodiversity in the past! Thanks to a great team of collaborators!

Researchers find that peaks in mammal diversity match high tectonic strain rates and elevation changes in the Basin and Range Province of western North America. Increased topography changes have driven mammal speciation over the past 30 million years. scim.ag/7qh

Lidar hillshade change, 2012-2023, Perry Co. Note recent debris flow initiation. Triggered in the July '22 storm? Did it stop in narrow ravine near the road? Thanks to @GeomorphYuggs, his team noticed reactivation in May 2024! Lots to unpack with these E. KY. landslides.

We moved to a new town when I was 6, and my parents signed me up for youth football on the Grundy County Chiefs to meet new friends. Grandma made me this figurine for Xmas that year. My kids modified it along with one of their Barbie’s in anticipation of the Super Bowl…

Could have used topographic slope to predict the election results...
