An entire Nature article from 1934, I came across while reviewing literature. Times have changed...

Come to my poster and let's chat about rates of natural and human-induced erosion and sediment connectivity of the Northern Andes! @egu.eu @egu-gm.bsky.social

We build our approach on weathering and denudation rate calculations using WeCode.

Bottom line: If you are in a region of non-negligable weathering, you should try and correct your cosmogenic nuclide denudatio rates.

Cosmogenic nuclide denudation rates can be biased by weathering. We show that 10Be rates in Switzerland underestimate denudation by 100%!

We also show that paired 10Be+36Cl measurements can be used to determine long-term denudation AND weathering rates!

Bedrock type can strongly influence vegetation, as in this picture from Crete, Greece. Here, thin soil, low nutrient- and water availability in the limestone only allow small shrubs to grow.
This effect can even be observed on a global scale!

I guess since I'm here now, I should post something. But I'm also on leave, so there's not much happening (in terms of geology...). So here's an old drone image of a crazy high river terrace from Colombia with a chicken farm on it, and two doggos that helped me with its survey 🙃
