Salt diapir evolution in laboratory modelling
A study in which scientists combined findings from the field mapping of the Les Avellanes salt diapir in the Pyrenees and laboratory modelling of its formation. Geodynamic processes take place on a large scale and happen over a very long time. „We gain a better...
Optimising landscape evolution models with Be – new paper out
Landscape evolution models (LEMs) are widely used to calculate changes in Earth’s topography due to erosion, but the model parameters are notoriously difficult to constrain. In order to gain a better understanding and find the best-fit parameters, Gregory Ruetenik and...
