International initiatives to solve the challenges to trace sediment and contaminant in river systems

Sabine Kraushaar May 25, 2023

Tracing Day Participants 2022 in Vienna (Evrard 2022).

Soil and water resources that are essential to human and aquatic life are increasingly threatened by human activities and the impacts of land use and climate change. Sediments play hereby a key role, particularly fine sediments with sediment-associated pollutants, which can lead to a substantial degradation of water body quality, such as in rivers and reservoirs. Sediment tracing as a first step t ...[Read More]

Sabine Kraushaar April 4, 2022

Dear experts of sediment tracing, In addition to the tracing session that will be held during EGU on Monday 23 May in Vienna (in hybrid mode), together with Olivier Evrard (Univ. Paris-Saclay, in copy), we organise an additional International Tracing Day at the Univ. of Vienna on Sunday 22 May (just before EGU starts). After these long months of on-line activities, this will be the opportunity to ...[Read More]

The Steepest Descent is a yearly one-day meeting taking place in Vienna, Austria, close to the EGU general assembly. Participants have the opportunity to see a few keynote talks by outstanding geomorphologists and to discuss their posters in a more informal and geomorphology-focused community than at the EGU. Despite its youth, the Steepest Descent Meeting seems to have lost its aura of a niche-ev ...[Read More]

OCTOPUS: An Open Cosmogenic Isotope and Luminescence Database

The OCTOPUS web interface. Overlaying an adaptively scalable Google Terrain Map, sampling points and catchment polygons can be interactively interrogated, and studies of interest can be selected for download (credit: Henry Munack, University of Wollongong).

– written by Henry Munack, University of Wollongong – In geomorphology, radiometric dating methods have been on the rise during the past decades. Notably cosmogenic nuclide applications and luminescence dating gained great popularity because they quantitatively capture geomorphic processes on their process-inherent timescales. To date, globally more than 4,200 in situ detrital catchmen ...[Read More]

Short video on Geomorphology – Sediment Dynamics in high-mountain Environments

Sabine Kraushaar May 22, 2016

Geomorphology is the science of processes shaping the earth surface. Especially in high-mountain environments, where the relief is steep, these processes move a great amount of material. This 10 minute video features Geomorphologists from different parts of the world, explaining what happens when glaciers retreat and expose sediments to erosion and how it affects us humans. Furthermore it attempts ...[Read More]
