Italian lawmakers have accused Donald Trump Jr. of hunting a protected duck in Venice’s lagoon. “It is morally despicable,” a lawmaker in parliament said on Tuesday. “And it’s a crime.”
A Trump. A Dead Duck. And an Uproar in Italy.
A video shows Donald Trump Jr. sitting in hunting gear beside a dead protected bird. Italian lawmakers want answers.

OK, I wrote my “who’s going to enforce it?” piece. It’s a lengthy read, trying to respond to a lot of questions I’ve gotten over the past three weeks, but it’s about democracy so I decided it was worth it to lay out in depth, with examples, what I’ve been talking about here and elsewhere.
Don't let Donald Trump and Elon Musk talk us out of democracy
Trump and Musk are testing the limits, trying to sell America on being an authoritarian state — but they can’t do it unless we allow them to do so.

Thinking of @drkingothebeach.bsky.social today: teaching Toomey et al. (2013: doi.org/10.1130/G341...) [one of my all-time favourite papers] and Ortiz & Ashton (2019: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...) as we near the end of this year's @sotongeogenviron.bsky.social Y2 coastal module.
Figure 1 from Toomey, M., Ashton, A. D., & Perron, J. T. (2013) Profiles of ocean island coral reefs controlled by sea-level history and carbonate accumulation rates. Geology, 41(7), 731-734.

Figure shows examples of various carbonate reef systems arrayed as a function of an ecomorphodynamic feedback between relative sea-level forcing and reef growth rates.

Work led by Alice Puppin shows that tidal-channel abandonment (due to stream captures or meander cutoff) leads to rapid C accumulation.

A few weeks ago, I shared with the students of my “International Tourism” course this interesting, but worrisome, article. Key West in Florida has been studying how cruise ships docking affect the quality of water: it stirs up as much as sediment as a hurricane.

In Key West, testing shows cruise ships stir up as much sediment as a hurricane
Tests in Key West show sediment stirred up by cruise ships, which can harm marine life, routinely exceed federal standards. Key West has responded by suspending the tests.

Was an absolute pleasure to be @unipd.bsky.social Dipt di Geoscienze last week with @alvitello.bsky.social & others. A hat-trick of seminars (with special thanks to the admin team for advert), lots of time set aside for head-scratching at the board, and delicious food at every turn. The 🤌 best 🤌.
Flyer for trio of seminars delivered at the Dipt of Geoscienze (Padova).

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.
