Please nominate! That geoscientist that you think is so awesome has no chance to win an award/medal if they're not nominated! In Geomorphology we have the Outstanding Early Career Scientist award (www.egu.eu/awards-medal...) and the Bagnold Medal (www.egu.eu/awards-medal...).

🏔️ The BeyondIceFutures project has been awarded MRI Synthesis Funding to bring together interdisciplinary expertise on recently #DeglaciatedLandscapes. The project will identify knowledge gaps & develop visions for positive futures beyond ice.

🌍 Join us at #EGU26! Our session #Biogeomorphology Across Scales (ITS5.3/GM2), with Magdalena Lauermann, @fbetz.bsky.social, Annegret Larsen & @alpinebiogeo.bsky.social, explores how how biotic–abiotic feedbacks shape #EarthSurfaceDynamics.

Big congratulations to Master student Philipp Gewalt for getting his excellent MSc thesis published and thanks to all colleagues who supplied us with high resolution UAV data for plot selection.

We identified median grain sizes for coarse (> 2 mm) and fine (≤ 2 mm) sediments, sediment chemistry (bulk Fe, Ca) & soil properties (TOC, N concentrations) as most important sediment properties in our study. Have a look below how to efficiently include them into your biogeomorphic research:

Sampling across debris flow, rock glacier, moraine and solifluction slopes in Valais, Switzerland, we found that if biogeomorphic feedbacks can happen depends on both geomorphic activity and sediment properties, with grain size related textural establishment and ecosystem engineering thresholds.

Why sediments matter for mountain biogeomorphology Grain size distributions, sediment and soil chemistry control feedback between plants and geomorphic processes across alpine hillslopes. With our developed workflow, this key sedimentological data ca...

On #mountain slopes, we previously found strong feedbacks between #geomorphic processes, #landforms and #plants. But what about #sediments? Do they matter for #biogeomorphic feedbacks? If yes, which sediment properties should we measure and how? Have a look! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Do you want to continue hearing tales about glaciers and trees? 🧊🌲💍

I need your help! 🤍

I still have many gorgeous slices of glacier subfossil wood to offer!

🙏🙏 Please spread the word 🙏🙏

.. and especially wonderful to meet @dralastaircurry.bsky.social and colleagues from U. Hertfordshire, and colleagues from U. Lausanne in field at #Turtmann #glacier to talk about #moraines, #rockglaciers and thermal #UAV flights!

#GoOrGrow fieldwork successfully completed! Captured high resolution #UAV images, read out #TOMST loggers, found a miniature #solifluction #lobe and camped in beautiful Pipjitälli for early morning flights. Thanks @leonduurkoop.bsky.social for great help! #biogeomorphology

Traffic jam on the way to work today.. #fieldwork #GoOrGrow

#ICG2026 abstract submission deadline has been postponed to 13th June 2025, so more than two weeks left to prepare your #biogeomorphology abstracts for our session on interactions between life and landscapes!🏔️🏞️🌊🌱🪴🦫🍄‍🟫🪸🦞

Working on interactions between life and #landscapes? Join us for our #biogeomorphology session at the 11th IAG International Conference on #Geomorphology in beautiful New Zealand! Abstract submission deadline is already soon on 31st May! More info: www.confer.co.nz/icg2026/other/ #ICG2026 #IAG2026

New open access paper on headwall erosion of a deglaciating cirque in the Swiss Alps. In our study we found that headwall erosion is driven by frost weathering and permafrost rather than glacier induced rockfall.

Topography and the Terrestrial Water Cycle - Eos The relationship between topography and the terrestrial water cycle has been documented for thousands of years, yet there is still much to learn about Earth’s complex dynamics – both above, at, and be...

Our current paper on topography and the terrestrial water cycle is featured in an Editor’s Vox in @eos.org eos.org/editors-vox/... @unipotsdamwater.bsky.social

Happy to announce we will organize a special issue on #proglacial #landscape and #ecosystem development in Catena (www.sciencedirect.com/journal/catena) as a follow up of our interdisciplinary session at #EGU25 next year. Looking forward to receive your abstracts until 15th January 2025!

At #BES2024 and interested in plant #traits and #mountains? Come to our poster A5.12 this evening (6-7.30 pm) to learn more about how moving mountain slopes shape #alpine plant traits - and vice versa! #biogeomorphology #GoOrGrow

On the final leg of my train journey from Utrecht to Liverpool for #BES2024! After some quick sightseeing in London I am excited to delve into #ecology for the next few days. #GoOrGrow

Thanks Martin!

Thanks Florian! :)

Welcome to Bluesky @leonduurkoop.bsky.social! In his PhD research, Leon is investigating feedbacks between #mountain #greening and #hydrology in the beautiful Meretschi catchment in the Swiss Alps. #traits #ecohydrology

Hi Martin, great, would be happy to be included :)

Thanks Ingolf! :)

Thanks Stefan! :)

Thanks Alastair! :)
