'Beyond the beach' - we sampled dune valleys on #Sylt in the German Wadden Sea, we study soil formation and the processes that foster soil carbon storage in these coastal ecosystems #soilcarbonstorage #soilformation #bluecarbon #geomorphology @tuberlin.bsky.social @awi.de
If rocks and minerals are chemically changed, chemical weathering takes place⛓️💥💧. In which ways can chemical weathering change rocks and minerals?

Weathering is the destruction of rocks and minerals and the start of soil formation🪴😍. This week, we start with physical weathering🌡🌞🥶❄️

Resin is applied to preserve the chronosequence at the Sustenpass. It takes 24 hours until extraction and more hours of prep before framing. A work of art to reveal millennia of #SoilFormation. Stay tuned for the final #SoilMonolith!

A challenging dig through 50-80% stones in the stunning landscape of the Sustenpass revealed a unique sequence of #alpine soils with ages from 30-10,000 years!
