A great thread taking you into the room where fascinating #CriticalZone research was presented during #EGU25 this morning. 🌐🧪
2/ A huge thank you to all the authors and presenters of our #EGU2025 session GM2.7 who shared their cutting-edge research and insights.
Our first oral session focused more on granular processes from theoretical to numerical and experimental developments

#EGU2025 starts in a few days!!

Looking forward to seeing many friends and colleagues at Vienna while featuring some exciting sessions on geomorphic processes across scales and tools and methods to monitor and model them!

Attending? Let’s catch up 🤝
