Save half an hour today to watch our new science outreach movie: "A Rock Murder Mystery – What Happens Deep Beneath Earth’s Surface?" It's available in 3 languages on Youtube ENG: youtube.com/watch?v=7Kl_d4… ESP: youtube.com/watch?v=yO1b5c… DEU: youtube.com/watch?v=WRwtV0… 1/n

‼️🎓🔬🏞️🌎‼️ Congratulations to our Ferdinand Hampl, who successfully defended his PhD thesis "Weathering of iron-bearing silicate minerals along a climate gradient" @TUBerlin @dfg_public

Productive times for EarthShape @dfg_public @GFZ_Potsdam! Diego Medina Caro and Lucas Horstmann propose a new method to recover intracellular DNA in terrestrial environments: doi.org/10.1002/mbo3.1…

🏞️🔬🗞️‼️ Congrats to Ferdinand Hampl for his second paper from his PhD project!! @earth_shape @dfg_public @TUBerlin doi.org/10.5194/esurf-…

All good things come to an end... Also my PhD thesis after four years full of adventures... I'm very grateful for all the inspiring people I got to meet and the beautiful Chilean places I investigated...thanks @earth_shape for this great opportunity and also @ConsEcol @Uni_MR

hot off the press!! ‼️🗞️🏞️⛰️🌎 doi.org/10.5194/esurf-…

A new paper led by our Patrick Jung, within his new @dfg_public project "Grit Life" @PN_PandeAzucar @conaf_minagri

👀Behind the paper👀 🍃In this new post, Liesbeth van den Brink & @rafacanessam discuss the importance of litter characteristics for decomposition, share their experiences with rodents, and celebrate the joy of working with friends🍂 📙buff.ly/3yHfi3p @earth_shape

@AlexRBeer @geoMadella @PN_PandeAzucar @conaf_minagri We have discovered salt encrustations inside the moisture sensor at @PN_PandeAzucar. Therefore moisture values recorded for the past several months should not be trusted. @AlexRBeer is at it, and we will inform you once the sensor is fully functional again.

@AlexRBeer and @geoMadella have just finished the yearly maintenance of our 4 weather stations in @PN_PandeAzucar, PN La Campana, PN Nahuelbuta and Reserva Santa Gracia. We hope to keep these going as long as possible in collaboration with @conaf_minagri

@AlexRBeer @geoMadella @PN_PandeAzucar @conaf_minagri Plots of the raw data are available on our project website: shorturl.at/bkuM4 whereas @uekiri1's data publication including both raw and cleaned time series is updated once a year, after every servicing trip. --> doi.org/10.5880/fidgeo…

Fantástico @conaf_minagri Gracias! Descubro el azucar silvestre entre las plantas, los ocultos y sabios laboratorios donde nacen espuelas cristalinas. Lupa en mano examino el fluir de las poderosas torres naturales, Juvencio Valle Hijo del Guardabosque

Landscapes through time Hot off the press. Are you interested in why landscape evolution studies are important? If so, see this new article. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

📢 Atención!!.Producto de la emergencia meteorológica que se vive en el país y los incendios forestales, se determinó cierre en algunas unidades del Sistema Nacional de Áreas Silvestres Protegidas

The 5 animations from the movies are available as separate episodes, e.g. for teaching or seminars! youtube.com/playlist?list=… All videos are downloadable at the DOIs provided in the credits. Mind that a CCBY license applies, i.e. free use as long as credit is given to the creators.

Paper alert 🔬🏞️🗞️‼️ A new #openaccess article coauthored by Friedhelm von Blanckenburg with the support of @dfg_public. How does the #erosion rate affect #nutrient cycling? Does plant growth boost rock/soil #weathering? You'll find some answers here: doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.…

Beavers have created a trail of ponds in Alaska that can be seen from 🔭 #space and could be accelerating #climatechange, writes @MorganMJohnsen for @BusinessInsider, citing research presented at #AGU22. #AGUintheNews businessinsider.com/beavers-invade…

The movie was directed by Friedhelm von Blanckenburg @GFZ_Potsdam and produced together with Filmbüro Potsdam #weathering #rock #water #microbes #deep #drilling #geochemistry 3/3

Detective Hercule Poirot and a group of EarthShape scientists investigate a 'crime' against rocks in the spectacular landscapes of Chile. The film addresses a scientific question: how does weathering turn rocks into soil deep below the Earth's surface? 2/n
