We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher in geoscience to explore landslide dynamics as landscape evolution and carbon cycle drivers. This exciting project includes investigating drainage divide migration, thermal stress modelling, and carbon sequestration.

Human-made dams in South India's Cauvery Delta are dramatically altering sediment distribution, trapping vital materials needed for sustaining the ecosystem and exacerbating sediment starvation, necessitating a reevaluation of water resource management and erosion control strategies.

Just wrapped up the Energy Geostructures Industry Workshop in Aarhus! Co-hosted by VIA University College, COST Action FOLIAGE, and LEG-DHC, we explored innovations ranging from "Thermo-roads" to new green financing models. It was inspiring to see experts from Brazil to Estonia collaborating on the future of urban heating. #EnergyGeostructures #GeothermalEnergy #DistrictHeating #ShallowGeothermal #GreenEnergy #Decarbonization #COSTFoliage

By creating a network of early-career principal investigators, my colleagues and I have enacted change and battled bureaucracy.

Our new study reveals that gradual atmospheric warming can weaken rock slopes, increasing risks of rockfalls over time. Long-term monitoring indicates that even slight temperature rises can open rock cracks, impacting public safety and infrastructure planning.

Gianvito Scaringi, elected as the first non-Czech-speaking senator of the Faculty of Science, advocates for internationalisation, research excellence, and support for early-career academics while promoting transparency and inclusivity in governance.

Dr. Sumit Das has received the prestigious Junior Star Grant from the Czech Science Foundation, enabling his research on landslides' role in landscape evolution and carbon sequestration, promoting innovation in geosciences at Charles University.

Permafrost degradation, driven by thawing, alters hydrological systems, increases greenhouse gas emissions, and threatens infrastructure stability. Current remediation strategies are limited, necessitating improved adaptation efforts through interdisciplinary research.

Our recent study published in Catena highlights a critical sediment decline in India's Cauvery Delta, with sediment at the terminal station dropping by 68% from 2000 to 2018, primarily due to human activities, particularly dam construction. This sediment starvation is causing significant coastline erosion, threatening the ecological balance and community safety in the region.

Sediment discharge in rivers is changing due to climate change and human activities. A study in India's Western Ghats shows significant declines in sediment load, due to a combination of rainfall variations and human impacts, including illegal sand mining, highlighting the need for integrated management strategies to enhance ecological health.

Om Dhakal's article for the Young Engineering Geologists (YEG) discusses a method to improve rainfall data accuracy using NASA's rainfall data. This approach aligns satellite estimates with ground measurements, enhancing flood and landslide risk prediction.
