In recent months, I had the opportunity to work on a project analysing subsurface data from a rock sequence previously interpreted as the product of an estuarine depositional environment. The client sought subsurface maps to characterize the spatial distribution of various geobodies associated with sedimentary deposits typically found in modern estuaries. In other words, the …[Read More]
Born at the feet of active volcanoes, a group of young Earth scientists works for connecting colleagues in Italy and around the globe. One of the main challenges faced by those approaching the academic career for the first time is creating a network of known people with whom sharing scientific knowledge and maybe lay the …[Read More]
We’re back to the HydroData Chronicles, where we enter into the exceptionally wonderful world—as massive as it is—of datasets about water phenomena, such as rivers and weather. Today, we focus on ΕStreams, a comprehensive dataset and catalogue of streamflow, hydro-climatic, and landscape data for Europe. This pioneering initiative fills the hydrological data availability gap, offering …[Read More]
