This blog post about drone photogrammetry for seismology research is written by Lars Gebraad, with contributions from Isamu Naets and Patrick Marty. Lars Gebraad and Patrick Marty are doing their doctorates at the Seismology and Wave Physics group and Isamu Naets did his PhD at the Geothermal Energy and Geofluids group, both at the Dept. of Earth Sciences, ETH Zürich. Like many techy outdoor young ...[Read More]
A Vulture circled over the motley crew of hydrometricians that had gathered for the showdown at Liesingbach for the 2nd EGU Flow Regatta on April 24th, 2023. The call had gone out far and wide: the winner of the showdown would achieve everlasting glory, songs would be sung, their name echoing through legend. The losers would become, as Tom Waits predicted, just more dirt in the ground. Storm clo ...[Read More]
What can corals tell us about volcanic eruptions? Is it possible corals, in the span of their lives, have recorded valuable data on volcanic eruptions they have witnessed? Today we find it out together with Prof. Tom Sheldrake, who takes us on a journey through coral reefs and volcanic eruptions, giving voice to what corals want to tell us about volcanic activity! Introducing Professor Tom Sheldra ...[Read More]
Skagsanden beach is a stunning destination located in the Lofoten archipelago in Norway. This beautiful white sandy beach stretches for 800 meters and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and crystal-clear waters. From a geological standpoint, Skagsanden beach is a fascinating site. It is believed that the beach was formed by the erosive power of the sea, which shaped and sculpte ...[Read More]
Dearest reader, on this day, six years ago, we published our very first blog post, stating our geodynamission: our plans for this new geodynamics division blog. From that day onwards, I have had the absolute privilege of being your Editor-in-Chief. But all good things must end and so does my term of being the Editor-in-Chief. Before I say my final goodbyes, let’s take a trip down memory lane ...[Read More]
This week on 21st June, governments around the world observed World Hydrography Day to celebrate the role of hydrography in understanding the seas. Though initially thought to be a field limited to the navigation of ships, hydrography is being increasingly recognized for its knowledge contribution to the oceans, seas, coastal areas, lakes and rivers, as well as with predicting their change over ti ...[Read More]
Fieldwork is essential to polar sciences, but who are the people that actually do the fieldwork these days? A great field team includes people spanning a diversity of scientific skills, but at the same time, a diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and identities also adds intrinsic value to team dynamics and the overall field work experience. As part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaborati ...[Read More]
