Miocene Lake Öhningen (S-Germany) is a famous fossil site. Situated in the Hegau Volcanic Field, the sediments depict mud volcanoes and seismites that document the seismic activity of the region, tephra layers are evidence of the volcanic activity. paper: link.springer.com/article/10…

I’ve put together a YouTube playlist of my talks and interviews on tsunami and storm deposits, meteorite impacts, marine geology, polar research, and sedimentary records. I hope it may be useful. ▶️ youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

Prime example of #degassing of CO2 in a tectonic active region: the #Egergraben #Rift is part of the European Cenozoic Rift System - active since Tertiary times. #Earthquake swarms, #mofettes, hot springs are evidence of a #magma reservoir and movement of fluids. #Soos #EgerRift

30 years since the 1996 Chimbote tsunami (Peru). On this anniversary, we’re launching the GTEM website — soon to be a practitioner-oriented hub for tsunami evacuation modeling resources + documentation. regidirides.github.io/gtem/ #Tsunami #Evacuation #DRR #Peru

Yesterday’s “Schnupperuni” (girlsday) at UniBonn was real fun! Hope that we were able to catch the girls’ interest for geosciences with a short rock tutorial and the simulation of viscous landslide behavior. #UniBonn #Schnupperuni #girlsday #experiment #landslide
