Soil is not dirt cheap: Soils, Sustainable Development Goals, and Geomorphologists.
– written by Solmaz Mohadjer – Does contaminated soil make your bones go soft? What if you are told to stop growing vegetables in your garden because the soil is too toxic? What if farmers refuse to produce nutritionally valuable crops because of risk of massive floods? What would you do if you are forced to leave your farm due to fear of floods? Surprisingly, these are the kinds of q ...[Read More]
Short video on Geomorphology – Sediment Dynamics in high-mountain Environments
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]
