2/ A huge thank you to all the authors and presenters of our #EGU2025 session GM2.7 who shared their cutting-edge research and insights.
Our first oral session focused more on granular processes from theoretical to numerical and experimental developments

5/ the poster sessions (virtual and onsite) were interesting and well attended too. Thank you to my students and colleagues (including from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) who presented their work. Honoured to serve as mentor and OSPP judge for some early career students!

4/ A big shoutout also to all the conveners and invited speakers of our @EGU_GM GM2.7 session for their incredible dedication and expertise. Your hard work made it a success! 🙌🌍 #geomorphology Truly inspiring! 🚀📊 #EGU2025 #EarthScience

3/Our second #EGU25 @EGU_GM oral session followed up with contributions on the role of turbulence on geomorphic phenomena across scales. Your contributions sparked vibrant discussions towards advancing our understanding of Earth’s surface processes dynamically shaping landscapes

#EGU2025 starts in a few days!!

Looking forward to seeing many friends and colleagues at Vienna while featuring some exciting sessions on geomorphic processes across scales and tools and methods to monitor and model them!

Attending? Let’s catch up 🤝
