Seafloor slopes control submarine canyon distribution: A global analysis Submarine canyon distribution is driven by slope inclination, linking tectonic and thermal forces to canyon formation.

Just out in Science Advances with @topotoolbox.bsky.social:
Submarine canyons preferentially form where the seafloor is steepest—not where rivers bring much sediment. Our global study reveals what controls canyon distribution and the world’s oceans.

🚨New paper alert 🚨 Ever wondered how sand extraction may be altering the bed of sandy rivers? How these changes influence flow and sediment transport? Well wonder no more!

Last Wednesday the Birchgletscher in the Swiss Alps collapsed, devastating large parts of the village #Blatten and blocking the Lonza river which created a small lake.

Thanks to aerial images shared by #swisstopo, I was able to create a 3D model of the area.
