It is always great to work in #Alaska with @jrkielhofer on #soils and #geomorphology. However, this time we were even more fortunate to have @DRIScience writer Elyse DeFranco tag along and help us out! Check out her nice write-up on the trip!

During the ITAP #Fieldwork in #Alaska, DRI's science writer tagged along for an inside look at the team's work. She joined two #Scientists with expertise in #SoilScience and #Paleoclimatology to see how they depict & map the layers beneath our feet. bit.ly/drialaska.

A new source of fire records, hidden in the sands, gives us a bigger picture of the risks

Until now, a limitation of records of past fires is that these have come from sediments laid down in lakes and bogs. Records for dryland regions have been lacking, but dune deposits can fill the gap.

New paper just out: "Hydraulic gradient and wave height control the success of estuary artificial entrance openings". Data from >135 openings shows that the hydraulic gradient controls the rates of change in channel expansion, drainage, and flow velocity during estuary openings🌊

Ancient lake mud contains our bushfire history — and clues to the future

With Black Summer and Black Saturday still fresh in some people's minds, it's tempting to think bushfires in Australia have ramped up in intensity in recent times. But is this really the case, and...
