A French researcher going to a conference in the US had his phone and computer searched (and then confiscated) and was refused entry and expelled because they found stuff critical of Trump.
I guess lucky that he wasn't detained for weeks?
Don't travel to the US. No conference is worth the risk

Happy to see Landscapes Live on Bluesky! A very nice program is waiting us.
Hello Bluesky! 🦋🏞️
We are organizing weekly seminars for scientists to present their research in and around geomorphology.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.
Not seeing a lot of discussion about this. Some researchers have estimated the Glen's flow law exponent n as ~ 1 rather than 3-4 for temperate ice. This could mean that the world's most critical glaciers are linear-viscous are their base.

Top: It's a sunny day and a lady in a wide brimmed hat, long sleeved shirt and bike shorts stands on a grassy hill in front of a large braided river occupying a mountain valley. Bottom: three block diagrams illustrating how faults can interact with river channels by creating a dam, shifting them laterally, or tilting the channel in retrograde.
10 years ago I thought I wasn't smart enough to study #geology, but some colleagues convinced me to try anyway. Today I just published my 2nd paper, which explores how fault ruptures can alter river behaviour and flood hazard. Check it out here! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Time for some nice #landslide simulation using Hergarten's minvoellmy implementation in #TopoToolbox. The DEM shows the Eiger Northface and the detached volume is 5 Mio m^2.
A new study finds ants best humans at tests of collective intelligence.

Sediment along the Kali-Gandaki river in the Nepal Himalaya
We are advertising for a PhD position in landslide-flood interactions in the Himalaya as part of the IAPETUS DTP programme - please get in touch if you are interested in a PhD in cascading hazards, geomorphology, sediment, and machine learning! iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships...
Our work on surface deformation by the Noto Earthquake is finally out! Fukushima Yo led a team to create and ground-truth a full 3D deformation field from InSAR on the entire Peninsula. We show that repetition of similar quakes explains the 1st-order landscape features. 1/5

Always a pleasure to visit Géosciences Rennes, this time supporting Will Norriss' PhD experiments on bedrock channel evolution in response to constant forcing conditions.
