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

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

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.

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]

Dreaming & reading about fieldwork – summer blog break 2024

A person is kneeling down at a brown pond, all covered in mosquito net, waterproof gear, kitchen gloves and a pancake flipping spatula.

  As we are starting into our annual blog summer break, we reflect on what summer can mean for polar researchers (including some fieldwork saudades). As an Arctic or Alpine cryo-scientist, chances are that you are somewhere in between vacation, fieldwork or trying to work through data while everyone else is free. If you, like us, did not have your vacation yet or do not have any fieldwork com ...[Read More]
