New discoveries in Amazonian rock art: paintings, pigments, and some of the oldest traces in South America. Deep in the Colombian Amazon lies the Chiribiquete Massif, a chain of table mountains with steep quartz-sandstone cliffs. It was in this remote and dramatic setting that anthropologist Carlos

In the northern Venetian lagoon, at Lio Piccolo, archaeologists have uncovered a Roman ostriarium dating to the 1st century CE—the first ever found in Italy. The structure is a rectangular basin built with bricks and wooden planks, buried in the lagoon sediment, and used to keep oysters alive before

In the talk, several conceptual models of escarpment retreat will be presented, with an emphasis on non-catastrophic processes involved in caprock in situ disintegration. This will be followed by the examination of the role of subsurface processes in the evolution of tablelands in clastic and presentation of tools available to recognize that the role is indeed very important.

Humans make deliberate, real-time interventions into geomorphic processes, especially during major storm events. Existing morphodynamic models are not built to account for active, responsive human interventions. Evolving model platforms may need to explicitly address active human interventions as

Extreme geohazard events can change landscape morphology by redistributing huge volumes of sediment. Event-driven sediment deposition is typically studied in non-built (natural) settings – despite the ubiquity of occurrence and high economic cost of these geohazard impacts in built environments.

Published in Progress in Physical Geography three decades ago, “Beaches and dunes of human-altered coasts” by Karl Nordstrom (Nordstrom, 1994), has proven remarkably prescient. The scale, dominance, and rapid sprawl of human impacts on physical coastal environments had some traction in the 1990s as

In 2012, a Mw 3.6 earthquake occurred in Huizinge, a small town in the North of the Netherlands. The earthquake was the result of the extraction of methane from one of the largest on-shore gas fields in the world, namely the Groningen gas field. Induced seismicity had been recorded since the 1990s,
