Inverted River Channels in Alcaniz: Insights into Mars’ Fluvial History

This edition of ‘Features from the field’ is brought to you by Faris Beg, a masters student on the EU Erasmus Mundus program. He will be talking about exhumed river channels in Alcaniz, Spain. Did you know one of the most striking pieces of evidence for the existence of water on ancient Mars comes from certain geological features cropped out from underneath the Earth surface as a resul ...[Read More]

Hortonian overland flow: when theory becomes reality

Hortonian overland flow – if you have ever followed a hydrology class, you have certainly come across this jargon:  this is the name of a hydrological process – when rainfall flows off at the terrain surface because the rainfall intensity is so high that not all the water can infiltrate into the soil (rainfall intensity is higher than infiltration capacity). Almost every hydrological m ...[Read More]

Midnight stutters of an environmentalist, an open letter to the people and places of the planet

August 13, 2024

We are in a state of environmental crisis. As someone who knows something about this, i’m really worried about the rising food crisis (due to ongoing wars in regions of russia-ukraine and israel-palestine), and waves of environmental refugees. In this strip of lands, soil is getting ruined daily. Every bomb ruins a patch of soil including moisture, microorganisms, roots, plants, … . Imagine how mu ...[Read More]

Ice Ice Baby! Modelling the thermal evolution within the ice shell of Ganymede, Jupiter’s moon.

Ganymede, one of the Galilean moons of Jupiter and the largest in the Solar System, has caught the scientists’ attention due to its potential for hosting life. The JUICE mission, launched from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana on 14 April 2023, is on its way to orbit and conduct experiments on the Galilean moons (Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto), with  particular emphasis on characterizing G ...[Read More]

TS Must-Read – Peron-Pinvidic et al. (2013) Structural comparison of archetypal Atlantic rifted margins: A review of observations and concepts

Rifted margins are regions at the transition from oceanic to continental crust, formed by the stretching and thinning of the Earth’s lithosphere before the creation of new ocean basins. The study focused on three key transects across Atlantic rifted margins. In their 2013 article in Marine and Petroleum Geology, Peron-Pinvidic et al. present a comparative analysis of the architecture of vari ...[Read More]
