Just became aware of this new, very cool, "OpenTopography DEM Downloader" #QGIS plugin: plugins.qgis.org/plugins/Ope… Allows you to pull SRTM, NASADEM, SRTM15+, AW303D, CopernicusDEM etc directly into QGIS via the OT Global Datasets API. By Kyaw Naing Win 🙏.

The difference an eruption makes, well a VEI 4 one anyway! The crater of La Soufriere, St Vincent. Photos taken from the same place in April 2014 and January 2022.

WSL has written a fun interactive game, Murgame, that highlights the risks associated with debris flows to mountain communities, and the costs and effectiveness of various forms of mitigation:- blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/…

An incredibly impressive roadside failure from Nariño in Colombia.
Nilza Pantoja@pantoja_nilza28 Dec 2021
Vía Policarpa ( sector el Boquerón) … estamos en emergencia vial! Gobernación de Nariño avanza contra el tiempo para atender tantas solicitudes. La temporada de lluvias es impresionante, solo en el norte de Nariño llevamos 30 horas continuas de lluvia, según reporte de alcaldes

How do boulders move in bedrock rivers? Apply for an @IapetusDTP PhD project @GeogDurham with me, @lizzie_dingle and @DrChrisHackney, along with collaborators @EdwinBaynes and @AlexRBeer. Project outline here: iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/… and happy to answer any questions.

🔥Post-wildfire debris flows can start suddenly, move quickly, & travel long distances. CGS works with @CalFIRE & @CalOES to identify ahead of time those areas most at risk for these damaging debris flows so we can be better prepared. 1/

Computational Sheep Dynamics 🐏🐏🐏

Drone photographer Lior Patel followed a herd of sheep for several months, as the herd was shepherded to its summer pasture. Entrancing and relaxing.

The extent of the crevassing at #TurnerGlacier is like nothing I've ever seen before. I actually found the sense of violence experienced by this tortured ice viscerally affecting. I'm relieved to have my feet back on the ground.

Wohoo! New paper. We watched bedrock in a big flume get pinged with gravel. What happens if the rocks are flat with the bed vs. if they are slightly inclined? Attempt to quantify impacts on saltation trajectories and erosion.
