Hoe verplaatst deze steen van 10.000 kilo op Mars?
Moving boulders and gullies that look suspiciously like rivers, not on Earth but on Mars! For years scientists have wondered about this; is this evidence of water on Mars? Earth scientist @lonnekeroelofs.bsky.social discovered that CO2 plays a pivotal role.

It's a phenomenon never seen before. Under normal conditions it doesn't even occur on Earth: the carving of gullies by CO2 ice blocks. Earth scientist @lonnekeroelofs.bsky.social proved that this may explain the formation of dune gullies on Mars www.uu.nl/en/news/myst... @astrobiologyou.bsky.social

Hoe slim is de aanschaf van een houtkachel nog?

Om huizen te verwarmen moet je de verbranding van #biomassa niet stimuleren, stelt Martin Junginger in @ad.nl. „Een warmtepomp is veel zinniger.” Een open haard is sowieso totaal niet efficiënt. „Daarmee creëer je een enorme hoop fijnstof, puur voor de lol." www.ad.nl/wonen/hoe-sl...

The Metronome – an immense and unique research instrument to simulate naturally formed estuaries.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could form estuaries in the lab, a 1000 times smaller and faster than in reality? Check out our latest video on the Metronome, our tidal facility that enables river and coastal researchers to explore and better understand these landscapes www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WC8...

Countries’ carbon budget math is broken
How flawed calculations let high-polluting countries off the hook, and how courts can hold them accountable
Researchers from UU found a bias in how 'fair share' carbon budget targets were calculated until now: "previous studies tend to reward the inaction of high emitting countries at the expense of the most vulnerable ones," states @yannrdp.bsky.social.
