Prime example of #degassing of CO2 in a tectonic active region: the #Egergraben #Rift is part of the European Cenozoic Rift System - active since Tertiary times. #Earthquake swarms, #mofettes, hot springs are evidence of a #magma reservoir and movement of fluids. #Soos #EgerRift

30 years since the 1996 Chimbote tsunami (Peru). On this anniversary, we’re launching the GTEM website — soon to be a practitioner-oriented hub for tsunami evacuation modeling resources documentation. regidirides.github.io/gtem/ #Tsunami #Evacuation #DRR #Peru

Yesterday’s “Schnupperuni” (girlsday) at UniBonn was real fun! Hope that we were able to catch the girls’ interest for geosciences with a short rock tutorial and the simulation of viscous landslide behavior. #UniBonn #Schnupperuni #girlsday #experiment #landslide
