📢Call for abstracts #EGU26 🌊🌋🏖️ #Marine #Geohazards in the #Aegean: cascading quakes–volcanoes–slides–tsunamis. We seek interdisciplinary work on geohazard processes, monitoring & early warning, scenario/risk modelling & societal resilience (tourism, heritage).
🌊 New Research Alert!
“Tsunami deposits preserved in coastal karst pockets on Malta (Central Mediterranean Sea)”
🔗 doi.org/10.1111/sed.70030
#TsunamiScience #Malta #Geohazards #Sedimentology #CoastalGeology #Palaeotsunami #Mediterranean #EarthSciences
Key findings:
- Evidence for #tsunami wave transport >10 m above sea level
- Detection of Amphistegina lobifera offers a post-1869 CE time constraint.
- New insights into #tsunami risk in the Central #Mediterranean.
Using a combination of #sedimentology and #micropalaeontology, we show that karst pockets in elevated limestone terrain (>10 m asl) can trap and preserve marine #sands deposited by past #tsunami waves.
🌊#Coastal and ⚓#marine scientists join us at #Geo4Göttingen 2025 – “#Geo4Change” for our session:
"Coastal dynamics in different timescales: from seconds to millennia" (ID: 127)
📍 Göttingen, Germany
📅14–18 Sep 2025

For this year I am looking forward to continue working with several brilliant fellow young researchers on these samples to get deeper insights into mechanisms of the 2011 Tohoku-oki #megathrust #earthquake and #tsunami, and the #paleoseismicity of the Japan Trench. 3/3
7000 m water depth we successfully cored ~950 m through the Japan Trench subduction zone and collected the input sequence from the incoming Pacific plate.

Our new #paper "Shallow #seismic #stratigraphy of the southwestern Algarve shelf (Portugal) and characteristics of #offshore #tsunami deposits" is now available #openaccess: doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.202…
It was a nice Christmas present our new paper on the Shallow seismic stratigraphy of the southwestern Algarve shelf (Portugal) and characteristics of offshore tsunami deposits
Great job @FeistLisa603

New Paper alert:
Simultaneously to the #floods in southern Germany our paper on the inventory of released #pollutants during the 2021 #flood along the Inde & Vicht rivers has been published.

#hochwasser #pollution @RWTH
Happy to have presented our research in the #MULTIMAREX consortium & #biomarker analyses of #paleotsunami deposits in Japan at the #2024AMK.
Great community, great discussion. Looking forward to next year.
Thank you @drmaex, @geo_kathi and @thomasneise86 for the organization!
