“We are now seeing summer speeds more than 4 times what they were in the 1990s on a glacier which at that time was believed to be one of the fastest, if not the fastest, glacier in Greenland,” says Ian Joughin, a researcher at the Polar Science Center, University of Washington and lead-author of the study. In the summer of 2012 the glacier reached a record speed of more than 17 kilometres per year, or over 46 metres per day.

She also worked extensively on the role of anisotropic viscosity in the mantle, and secured external funding for the ‘ANIMA’ project (Anisotropic Viscosity in Mantle Dynamics), which aims to evaluate the importance of anisotropic viscosity and olivine texture development for multi-scale geodynamic processes.

The aim of this session is to explore and develop the contribution of geology, geophysics and petrophysics to the development of sustainable energy resources in the transition to low-carbon energy.
Home / Media Library / Sedimentary record of catastrophic floods in the Atacama Desert
Despite being located in one of the driest regions of the world—the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile—the usually dry Copiapó River has flooded several times during the 19th and 20th centuries. Sedimentary deposits from the 2017 floods are shown here. The 2015 Atacama floods, analyzed in this paper, were among the worst ever recorded in the region, killing 178 people.
