Our new State of the Science paper on sole structures - the catchily named Flow-induced Interfacial Deformation Structures (FIDS) is now out in Sedimentology: doi.org/10.1111/sed.13219
with @KHwave @Making_Ripples @stratleeds Paul Wignall and Piotr Lapcik. Here is a taster...

Check out our new paper! We find the climate-driven season sediment-transport regime shift in four types of cryosphere-fed rivers. Huge thanks to our amazing team @RiverSediment @AmyEast_gmph @KHwave Albert kettner @CSDMS Jinren Ni, and Xixi Lu
A new study finds that intensified glacier melt due to #ClimateChange increases the fluctuation of sediment levels in downstream rivers, stressing #FreshwaterEcosystems and their nearby communities. scim.ag/4Oc

Scenes of the Amazon extreme drought in Tefé
Very low water levels, heatwave, river erosion in communities, large beaches isolating communities, fish and dolphin mortality, smoke from fires...
and now something like a sandstorm.

🚨Environmental disaster here at Lake Tefé, in Central Amazon
More than 100 river dolphins dead in the last few days due to the drought
At @inst_mamiraua, in collab with many institutions, we are struggling to help them and understand the actual causes

I made an app to map the floods in Vermont. There's almost 100% state coverage by satellite images from midday July 11. I added typical summer images so you can compare.
Zoom, search, turn layers on/off! Default view is major flooding in Montpelier, VT.
