Nature-based Solutions are on everyone’s lips in the view of their risk reduction potential but also their social, economic, and environmental side effects (so-called co-benefits). But how significant are these co-benefits? What are NBS? Nature-based Solutions (or in short NBS) are an umbrella term for ecosystem-based solutions to counteract societal challenges such as climate change, …[Read More]

TS Must-Read – Cannat et al. (2006) Modes of seafloor generation at a melt-poor ultraslow-spreading ridge
For the first time in 2006 Cannat and co-workers described a smooth seafloor type in the mid-ocean ridge located in the SW Indian Ocean (SWIR). The 660-km-long off-axis bathymetry, gravity, and magnetic dataset presented in the study lies near the Rodrigues triple junction (RTJ in Fig. 1). The must read paper expanded the previous conceptual …[Read More]

Imaggeo On Monday: Pantone of Blue Mountains, light scattering.
The light’s interaction with matter enables scientists to observe greenhouse gases from space, but also creates the shifting blue tones throughout the mountains that hikers travel long distances to admire! The blue shades are created by an effect called Raleigh scattering, where very small atmospheric particles between the viewer (or camera) and the mountains cause …[Read More]
