It is always great to work in #Alaska with @jrkielhofer on #soils and #geomorphology. However, this time we were even more fortunate to have @DRIScience writer Elyse DeFranco tag along and help us out! Check out her nice write-up on the trip!
During the ITAP #Fieldwork in #Alaska, DRI's science writer tagged along for an inside look at the team's work. She joined two #Scientists with expertise in #SoilScience and #Paleoclimatology to see how they depict & map the layers beneath our feet. bit.ly/drialaska.

New paper just out: "Hydraulic gradient and wave height control the success of estuary artificial entrance openings". Data from >135 openings shows that the hydraulic gradient controls the rates of change in channel expansion, drainage, and flow velocity during estuary openings🌊

Intl scientists, incl UC Prof @jamesshul1 & PhD graduate Dr @NickRPatton, share new insights into the origins of K’gari (Fraser Island) & the iconic Great Barrier Reef, which might date back to a time of climate change on Earth over 800k years ago. shorturl.at/pqY01
