After a solid week of lake coring and sampling for #storm and #tsunami deposits on the #Shetland Islands, we found this yet undocumented gem 💎 on northern Mainland - a distinct gravel layer inside the coastal dunes. Hoping for good OSL results 🤞🏽

@uniheidelberg.bsky.social #geography field course on palaeo-storm surges of the #BalticSea is in the books: Lot's of ERT mapping of washover fans, peat cores and indeed some thin washover sand layers! 🌬️🌊

Full video of the tsunami in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka, Russia, following the 8.7 earthquake. Wave seems incoming and a few meters at least.

Schweine auf Stöckelschuhen: Warum das Elektroauto ein historischer Irrtum ist

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?

"Asyl-Aktivisten" einfach nur perfides framing. Das sind Menschen, die auf Basis von Empathie und menschlichen Werten handeln, wurzelnd in denen des Christentums, das die @cducsueuropa.bsky.social zwar im Namen vor sich her trägt, aber kontinuierlich, Tag für Tag verrät. Find's einfach widerlich.
