Early this month, #CopernicusEU's #ImageOfTheDay shared two spectacular #Sentinel2 images of tidal dynamics at France's Passage du Gois: an island causeway completely flooded by the tide every day. Here's some quick outputs from our #DEAIntertidal coastal elevation workflow over the same area!

🎉New paper with Brian Beaty: After the end-Permian ME, burrowers didn’t just return, they rewired seafloor chemistry. Shallow particle mixing revived C & S cycling (<200 kyr); full P recycling waited on deeper burrowers (>1 Myr). Congratulations Brian! paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Bioturbation Shapes Marine Biogeochemical Cycling Following the End‐Permian Mass Extinction in Northern Pangea

During the end-Permian mass extinction, a global decline in seafloor sediment mixing and burrowing (bioturbation) provides critical evidence for the collapse of marine ecosystems, likely triggered by...

When you see the dramatic impact that a 1° change in the dip of the strata has on fluid flow in porous media, we field geologists might need to rethink our "+-5° is totally fine" when measuring strata dip angle. Thanks Thomas Poulet for the collaboration! doi.org/10.1130/G538...

...their text and fig2D say that these gravel-rich (!) inclined strata are formed by tides. Do they suggest a 30 m tidal range? And if they're gravel rich , these tides must have insanely strong! I guess modelling could work, but it would need a few PhDs to develop the equations to model Mars tides

Valentin Zuchuat @stratival.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

As much as these images are amazing I am skeptical with their tidal interpetation. They cite O'Neil and Dunn 2003 as justification to the geometry they see. O&D showed structures 2-3 m below the surface, whereas Mars' structures go down 30 m below the surface...

Hei #GeoSky, quick wording-question: Would you rather write 1. The Lower Triassic climate was.. or 2. The Early Triassic climate was..? Using the word stratum instead of climate, then I'd go option 1; with climate, I'm a little hesitating, though. P.s. "During the Early Triassic" isn't an option
