there should be some kind of Internet bingo for the offspring of scientists, to tick the boxes when the sciencies at the dinner table start using words like "polygenetic"

Australia-New Zealand Geomorphology Group conference #ANZGG2024 in sunny Gisborne, NZ After a full week of interesting talks and lovely landscapes, a day of post-conference admin: receipts and updating the PD record

Yesterday's field trip up the Waipaoa catchment, lots to learn about uplift, lithology and landslide risk, and cyclone-driven sedimentation. 20m aggradation in this river valley! and terraces and views #geomorphology#ANZGG2024#Aotearoa

Green hillslope in a New Zealand valley, shows an old mass-wasting hollow, and some uplift terraces
view across a river bed that's choked with coarse and very poorly sorted sediment, hills on the opposite side of the valley show pale scars of recent landsides

the Long White Cloud visible ahead - arriving in NZ for the Australia New Zealand Geomorphology Group conference #Aotearoa#geomorphology

view from a plane window over the wing, looking at an expanse of high white clouds. I bet the New Zealand Alps are under there

⚒️ 🧪 did a run-through of my talk for the upcoming ANZGG #geomorphology#killyourdarlings#fluvialgeomorphology#murraydarlingbasin#geoscience

Slide from a conference presentation. Title reads: "Landscape evolution of the Darling River (a long dance of change)". Picture is the alluvial plains: a broad landscape extending off to the flat horizon. Blue sky above, reddish dust on the horizon, landscape is flat grey dusty plains with a light cover of thin green grass, and isolated trees here and there. NSW Australia

2023 for me: regional desktop study of the upper Darling River & its 2022 floods. I've been having fun with some speccy DEMs, like this avulsion of main Darling channel from its prior stream. Here's a #storymaparcg.is/1j8Xyu#MurrayDarlingBasin#MDB
