A new paper (Pedersen et al. 2026) in the journal Geomorphology describes the 10,900 years old Tupaasat rock avalanche in Greenland. This landslide had a volume that exceeded a billion cubic metres and a runout distance of 15.8 kilometres.

A quiet stroll across the grassy headland to gaze at the sea and the ancient Duncansby Head stacks rock formations, near John O’ Groats, the most north-easterly point of the British isles.

Region is far easier to understand when you have a colour scale for a DEM that is designed to pick out geomorphology.
This is not the Arctic DEM, rather it's the the older MapZen DEM XYZ layer hosted by Amazon link:https://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/terrarium/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

(There also mountains that border the city on three sides. Day trips into those count as "vacations" and plenty of geology, geomorphology, and ecology to be encountered there.)

Such fun working with @bas.ac.uk and @ucl.ac.uk colleagues on this paper! Started as coffee table discussion about where the #Antarctic boulders came from. Ended bringing together geology, geomorphology and geophysics 🪨🔬🛩️ Def more than the sum of their parts! 👇

From 2021 --where geomorphology and policy collide! Is a jade boulder subglacial till or a mountain outcropping dislodged by a post-glacial landslide in more recent times?
B.C. judge rules in favour of mining company that argued jade boulder it found is a 'placer mineral'
Difference between 'placer mineral' and 'mineral' determines mining rights under Mining Tenure Act

Hydrology Paper of the Day
@shojiwan.bsky.social
on flooding of subtropical streams in the Southern Hemisphere: understanding when and where rivers flood; the influence of hydrology and location; quantitative identification of bankfull stage; regional models; and geomorphology limitations.

If you're in the Southeast Queensland, AUS, area and need to know (about) how much water might be required before a river starts to flood in any random location, check out my very first journal article.

Beyond all these examples, there is an ongoing discussion in geomorphology on using a statistical physics approach to processes like sediment transport, rather than traditional continuum models. Here is a somewhat polemical argument for that: my.vanderbilt.edu/davidjonfurb...

Working on slides for my soil geomorphology course, the last time it will be offered. Putting way too much time into it. Thinking about what I should have published more of, but more about what these very bright, motivated students will be able to with this do in a new, scary world.

I took geomorphology from Roger Hooke here at UMaine. It was a tough class. But I was left with an indelible impression that humans were outpacing all other geomorphologic (and climatic) processes. Will never forget that.
My hope is that your students will leave your class feeling empowered.

Pretty lucky with the weather on our fieldwork with 1st years in the #Ardennes. Always fun to show them how to gather information from outcrops, building stratigraphy, understanding folding and linking that to geomorphology.

I continue to be underwhelmed by the new Cooperative National Geologic Map. Latest brow-wrinkling detail: rocks east of Glacier NP's Belt series & the trace of the Lewis Thrust are listed as a mix of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks (true!) & Cretaceous volcanic rocks (absolutely FALSE).

There is a paper by Doug Sherman, the aeolian geomorphologist, on "Fashion in Geomorphology," that I believe is relevant to this. But I haven't looked at it in many years. In a Binghamton Symposium volume, brhoads.web.illinois.edu/wp-content/u...
