Our paper about grain shape is featured on the cover of nature. Led by Eric Deal, with Jeremy Venditti, Santiago J Benavides, PhD, Ryan Bradley, Ken Kamrin & Qiong Zhang. nature.com/nature/volumes…

Great synopsis of our most recent research, just out in nature today!

Researchers at #SFU and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have devised a better way to measure how fast sediment flows in rivers. SFU #Environmental Science prof Jeremy Venditti shares how this can help prepare better for #flooding, weather-related events and understand #salmon activity. ow.ly/r7Wg50Mt7xx

I am pleased to announce that the Equal Earth physical map of the world is now available in German. Simon Scherrer kindly did the translation. Danke! equal-earth.com/physical/

This video from researchers in MIT EAPS and MIT MechE shows glass spheres and natural river gravel undergoing bed load transport in a laboratory flume, slowed down 17x relative to real time bit.ly/3H8OLjz

Our PhD position is still open! come enjoy the mountain views in Grenoble and work on some very cool science with Florent Gimbert, plus Alain Recking and me.

Research from SFU Department of Geography prof. Jesse Hahm & postdoctoral fellow Dana Lapides is making it possible to predict snowmelt after drought more accurately, enabling communities to better prepare for water scarcity. SFU Faculty of Environment sfu.ca/research/schol…

Great highlight of our recent work on grain shape in EOS by Clarissa Wright writes. The Perron Group at MIT Santiago J Benavides, PhD Jeremy Venditti

Vincenzo Picotti, currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Earth Sciences at ETH Zurich, has been awarded the title of Professor. Well deserved!

If you're looking to sort through the thicket of what determines river channel size, or you like finding Easter eggs, give our paper a read.

The Women Professors Forum ETH_WPF has compiled an open letter to Swiss Media outlets (SRF, SonntagsZeitung,NZZ) regarding the recent articles on results of the study “Leaky Pipeline in der Wissenschaft”. 👉read more here: eth-wpf.ch/open-letter-on…

New in @sciencemagazine: Maya Stokes shows how rivers eroding through different types of rocks help explain high freshwater biodiversity in old mountain ranges like the Appalachians. With Thomas Near Daemin Kim Tennessee Valley Authority doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

How do tectonically quiet areas like the Appalachians influence biodiversity? A new study suggests river erosion as a driving force, separating fish into different river tributaries and allowing them to evolve into different lineages. MIT Science bit.ly/3OFtGSV

"If we can understand the geologic factors that contribute to biodiversity, we can do a better job of conserving it," says MIT EAPS professor Taylor Perron news.mit.edu/2023/river-ero…

Check out our new preprint where Santiago J Benavides, PhD shows how to integrate grain-scale processes into large-scale models of sediment transport using a cellular automata approach.
