Seminar - The Power of Comparative Planetology to Decipher the History of Planetary Surfaces

Dr. Mathieu G. Lapotre - Stanford University, USA | Tuesday 2025 | 4,30 pm - Classroom Arduino

27.05.2025

Landforms, shaped by interactions between environmental fluids and geologic surfaces, encode information about hydrology, climate, and the overall environment that may be preserved over geologic timescales. Thus, understanding the mechanics of geomorphic and sedimentary processes that shape the

Seminar - Do we need to reevaluate the oxygen isotope fractionation equations between biogenic aragonite and water?

Prof. Dr. Christophe Lécuyer - University Claude Bernard Lyon, CNRS, Institut Universitaire de France | Tuesday 2025 | 4,30 pm - Classroom Arduino

20.05.2025

Reconstructing past ocean temperatures has major scientific implications, including insights into Earth’s radiation balance, the CO₂ cycle, and climate-driven limits on biodiversity and biomass. Surface temperature patterns also influence ocean circulation, oxygen levels, and sea level changes. This

Seminar - The Rock Art of Serranía del Chiribiquete: a geoarchaeological and geomorphological heritage in the heart of the Amazon

29.04.2025

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

Seminar - Landform evolution in sedimentary tablelands: patterns of escarpment retreat and the role of subsurface processes

Speaker: Prof. Piotr Migoń - Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Poland | Tuesday 25 March 2025 | 4,30 PM - Arduino Classroom

25.03.2025

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.

Seminar - Is There a Bulldozer in Your Model?

Speaker: Prof. Eli Lazarus - University of Southampton (UK) | Tuesday 1 April 2025 | 4,30 pm - Arduino Classroom

01.04.2025

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

Seminar - Weird dynamics of flood deposits in built environments

Speaker: Prof. Eli Lazarus - University of Southampton (UK) | Friday 28 March 2025 | 2,30 pm - Arduino Classroom

28.03.2025

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.

Seminar - Humans as agents of coastal geomorphic change

Speaker: Prof. Eli Lazarus - University of Southampton (UK) | Wednesday 26 March 2025 | 4,30 pm - Arduino Classroom

26.03.2025

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
