Findings from a recent study could upend the conventional view of how rivers have shaped continents over time.
It’s “a significant revision to our understanding of the history of the Earth,” said lead author Michael Hasson.

Did you know that sand records its transport history as it moves across Earth's surface? We developed a new tool to investigate billion-year-old rocks by looking at microscopic features on zircon sand grains. Check out our new paper in @geosociety.bsky.social to see how!

This is the Angstel river, between Loenen aan de Vecht and Baambrugge, the Netherlands. On the right the Vecht river.
