- Reposted by Sascha Brune🚨 Interested in green energy research? 🚨 ⚒️ I contributed to a 3sat NANO documentary on natural H2 gas, a potential green energy to be found in mountain ranges such as the Alps and Pyrenees 😃 Check out the docu here (from ca. 8 min on, past the fake food story ➡️): www.3sat.de/wissen/nano/...
- ⚒️ Geothermal systems! Hydrogen and helium! Ore deposits! ⚒️ Join EGU session ERE1.8 on "Multi-scale subsurface processes, fluid systems and raw materials supporting the energy transition” Details: www.egu26.eu/session/58052 Meike Bagge, Christian Heine, Judith Bott, Maximilian Hasch, Sascha Brune

- How is salt tectonics affected by salt rheology, rift tectonics, and sedimentation rates? ⚒️🧂 In this article of Zhichen Wang, we use cross-scale geodynamic models of lithosphere deformation, evaporite flow and surface processes: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
- My favourite highlight: oceanward translation velocity of post‐salt sediments is highly dynamic. It is rapidly increasing to peak values during approximately 1 million years before slowing over tens of millions of years as the evaporite layer thins and welds onto the underlying syn‐rift sediments.
- ⚒️ How does orogenic inheritance affect rifting and continental break-up? ⚒️ Find out in our next #RiftAndRiftedMarginsSeminar on Jan 5th 2026, 4 pm CET with Mélanie Ballay, Jeffrey Pollock, Zoltán Erdős Register uni-potsdam.zoom-x.de/meeting/regi... Past talks www.youtube.com/@riftandrift...
