Introduction It is sometimes difficult to admit that you are (officially) a nerd, but I have a confession to make. I have collected dinosaurs on stamps for the last thirty years.

Continental rifts are a striking manifestation of the forces at work in the Earth’s interior and are often associated with volcanic activity. Contrary to intuition, volcanism is not confined to rift grabens, but migrates as the rifts evolve. How and why this happens is still not clear. This week, Gaetano Ferrante from Rice University, Houston (USA) will share his research with us, showing how the interplay of tectonic stretching, rift deepening and sedimentation may solve the mystery. From the high …
Welcome back to the HydroData Chronicles, where we uncover the hidden stories within hydrological data! In our last post, we explored a novel high-resolution, 40-year rainfall dataset covering the Contiguous United States (CONUS), developed developed by Emmanouil et al. in 2021. This time, we dive into the world of precipitation datasets with a promising new tool: the pRecipe package developed by Mijael Rodrigo Vargas Godoy and Yannis Markonis in 2023. Designed to provide a user-friendly and easy to use common …
