What happens when rivers freeze, thaw, and flow in a warming world? ❄️🌊
Our new paper reports on novel cryolab experiments that reveal erosion peaks not at the coldest temps, but at –5.2°C. As freeze-thaw cycles shift, so will rivers. Big questions, small-scale answers.

A sad outcome. Hopefully @sedimentology.bsky.social leadership will reconsider its proposals and our flagship journal can continue to be the go to journal for the sedimentology community and be "by its members for its members."

Superb to see our paper out:
➡️https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-78821-5
We adapt a clean-sand predictor to determine wave climate from orbital ripple wavelength that *includes* the effect of clay. This also highlights how sand grain size plays a key role in the parameterisation.
