Just out in Science Advances with @topotoolbox.bsky.social:
Submarine canyons preferentially form where the seafloor is steepest—not where rivers bring much sediment. Our global study reveals what controls canyon distribution and the world’s oceans.

Seafloor slopes control submarine canyon distribution: A global analysis

Submarine canyon distribution is driven by slope inclination, linking tectonic and thermal forces to canyon formation.

Last Wednesday the Birchgletscher in the Swiss Alps collapsed, devastating large parts of the village #Blatten and blocking the Lonza river which created a small lake.

Thanks to aerial images shared by #swisstopo, I was able to create a 3D model of the area.

Very grateful to have been awarded an #ERCCoG grant! The SeaSALT project aims at understanding how individual diking and fault slip events compete to accommodate extension at mid-ocean ridges… and end up shaping 2/3 of our planet’s surface. Stay tuned for future PhD/postdoc opportunities at ENS!
