Seismic waveforms and power spectral density plots showing the signal of a landslide lake outburst flood.

Planet satellite image from August 2025 of a large landslide blocking a river and creating a lake.

The Matai’an landslide dam in eastern Taiwan has failed this afternoon (eos.org/thelandslide...), flooding Guangfu, about 15 km downstream focustaiwan.tw/society/2025.... Even in the middle of a typhoon, the resulting flood produced a detectable seismic signal at stations ~40 km away.

🚨Job Alert 🚨 The Department of #Geology at the University of Otago in #NewZealand invites applications for a faculty position (Lecturer – equivalent to Assistant Professor in North American academic systems) in Earth sciences or adjacent field. ⚒️🧪 #Geosciences

New Study in ES&T! Permafrost peatlands accumulate mercury from distant sources, but thaw causes collapse into wetter bogs and fens. Lauren Thompson shows that these bogs, and especially fens, become hotspots for mercury methylation, and potential downstream transport.

Exceptional research leaders awarded first Royal Society Faraday Discovery Fellowships | Royal Society Seven pioneering researchers have been announced as the first recipients.

We are very happy to announce the seven pioneering researchers who are the first recipients of the prestigious Royal Society Faraday Discovery Fellowships, long-term awards that support exceptional mid-career research leaders in the UK. #RSGrants royalsociety.org/news/2025/08...

There's been a lot of (model-based) hype over the years about a "large Neoproterozoic DOC reservoir" that could have triggered the end of snowball earth and the proliferation of multi-cellular life. BUT here we show this was not the case. Instead, DOC levels were about 90% lower than today

🚨 Paper alert! 🚨 After >1 year in review and six (6!) reviewers, I'm thrilled that this paper is finally out! Here, we provide the first data-based record of marine dissolved organic carbon in the geologic past.

Can we now stop saying that once suspended sediment returns to pre-event levels, then the system response is over? Great paper here with relevance to cascading hazards and landscape evolution.

New paper! Led by Gen Li on “Large riverbed sediment flux sustained for a decade after an earthquake” 🧪 ⚒️
