Mass Transport Deposits – The smoking gun of submarine landslides

Mass Transport Deposits – The smoking gun of submarine landslides

When we think about landslides, we usually picture mountain slopes collapsing after heavy rain or earthquakes. Similar phenomena, often much larger, also occur beneath the sea along continental margins and across the deep ocean floor. Geologists refer to the deposits left behind by these collapses as Mass Transport Deposits, commonly abbreviated as MTDs. When several of these deposits form part of ...[Read More]

GeoTalk: Meet Marie Cavitte, policy officer for the Cryosphere Division, member of the EGU Climate Hazards Task Force, former Blue Book trainee

Welcome, Marie! Could you please introduce yourself to our readers? Hi, my name is Marie Cavitte. I’m a glaciologist and climatologist with a passion for the polar regions. I spent 10 years studying Antarctica. I started off during my Masters, then PhD, looking at the oldest ice on Earth, hunting for THE region of the ice sheet that might contain million-year-old ice. An ice core has been drilled ...[Read More]

From Signals to the Sea: Building an AI Sound Library for the Ocean

We chatted with Bram Cuyx, an underwater acoustics AI research engineer at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Belgium, about his unique path from engineering into marine science. In this interview, he shares how he made the leap from signal processing in electronics to listening to the soundscape of the North Sea, what it’s like to build a sound library for AI, and why acoustics might b ...[Read More]

International Day of Women and Girls in Science: Reflections from seismologist Simona Gabrielli

Hello you, and happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! My name is Simona Gabrielli, and I am a researcher at the INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Italy), where I study seismic attenuation (in other words: how earthquakes lose energy while passing through rocks), to understand the presence of fractures and fluids. My specialization in recent years has been in tec ...[Read More]

Building a library of observed air mass trajectories to study aerosol-cloud interactions

Building a library of observed air mass trajectories to study aerosol-cloud interactions

Marine low clouds, such as stratocumulus, play a central role in regulating Earth’s climate by reflecting incoming sunlight back to space. Yet these clouds are notoriously difficult to simulate and predict. One reason is that their evolution depends strongly on the surrounding atmosphere: temperature structure, moisture, winds, and aerosols all interact in complex ways. As a result, cloud response ...[Read More]

CYCLIM: cycle counting a faster way

As we try to predict what will happen under increasing anthropogenic climate change, climate models can only get us so far. Another key is understanding past changes in the Earth’s climate. To do this, palaeoclimatologists turn to natural archives (e.g., sediment cores and speleothems) and extract records of past variability using their properties, such as chemical or physical composition.
