"If we can understand the geologic factors that contribute to biodiversity, we can do a better job of conserving it," says @eapsMIT professor Taylor Perron news.mit.edu/2023/river-eros…

River erosion can shape fish evolution, study suggests

An MIT study of the freshwater greenfin darter fish suggests river erosion can be a driver of biodiversity in tectonically inactive regions.

Flowing sediment shapes landscapes. New research by @EricDealFluvial and others helps scientists better predict the process. Comments from Christophe Ancey @EPFL, story by @ClarissaWrights  eos.org/articles/decoding-th…

Decoding the Secrets of Shifting Sediments - Eos

In the small-scale details of grain shape, researchers have found a new way to understand how sediment flows in a river, a process shaping Earth’s landscapes.

Oh dear, I’m seeing bedload flume experiments done in @VendittiLab with @MITgeomorph in artwork in my hotel room and I barely just started #AGU2019.
