What makes earthworms move? Eartworms directly relies on soil water. Though, their activity seems completely disconnected to the variations of soil water content. Earthworms have a key role in soil dynamics. Among them, the anecic earthworms dig vertical galleries, ingest the earth located in the first meters of the ground and come to reject it […]
La aplicación de la técnica de modelización global a la micro-atmósfera de la cueva de Altamira ha permitido obtener modelos caóticos de baja dimensión a partir de las variaciones en su contenido de dióxido de carbono (CO2) y radón (222Rn), las cuales resultan de la actividad biológica del suelo y de un proceso físico de […]
The South-Indian states suffer from insufficient -yet abundant- monsoon rainfalls that do not fulfill any more the current urban and agricultural water needs. During the last decades, fast urban population growth has disrupted existing tap-water supply systems in big cities, challenging communities with regular tap-water shortages (last big one in Chennai).

En France, les nouveaux docteurs ne portent pas de chapeaux ridicules, mais au CESBIO, la célébration de l’avènement d’un nouveau docteur fait toujours l’objet d’un sérieux buffet, organisé par Laurence Keppel et financé par le laboratoire. Si vous avez constaté que certains membres du CESBIO ont pris du poids récemment, ne cherchez pas plus d’explication […]

S. P. Hicks (@seismo_steve) wrote for Nature Geoscience a nice piece « Geoscience analysis on Twitter » where he shares his experience on using Twitter for the real time analysis of geohazards. Actively using Twitter for science may be perceived by some as a significant time-sink — the demands on individual researchers and their institutions at times […]
