Flyer for an Anthropocene Sediment Network online event titled “Sand Mining in India.” The event takes place Wednesday, 22 April 2026, from 7:30–9:30 pm IST (3:00–5:00 pm London time). The programme includes talks by Priyank Pravin Patel, Suraj Gupta, and Siddharth Agarwal, introduced by Prantika Bhowmick, followed by discussion. The flyer includes speaker photos, images of sand mining landscapes and excavators, and a QR code for free registration.

We are hosting our first focussed event!

Come and join us for free and online for what promises to be a fascinating deep dive into #sandmining in #India!

Vanishing Sands: Losing Beaches to Mining In a time of accelerating sea level rise and increasing…

"Vanishing Sands: Losing Beaches to #Mining" exposes the #sandmining crisis. Written by marine geologist Orrin H. Pilkey and a team of interdisciplinary experts, we learn how sand is ecologically irreplaceable when removed from dynamic #sediment systems.

Flyer for the Anthropocene Sediment Network (ASN) with ASN logo at the top and the title “The Anthropocene Sediment Network.” Tagline: “Empowering community-driven solutions on a changing planet.” Text explains ASN supports collaborations advancing cross-disciplinary communication and research to understand Earth’s Anthropocene sediments. A banner reads: “Membership is free; all events are free and online.” A QR code is shown. On the right, an “Upcoming Events” list includes Sand Mining in India – Wednesday 22nd April and ASN Conference 2026 – Wednesday 27th May with abstract submission open 4th March–6th May, plus the note “Many more events and opportunities are coming up!” Bottom right button says “Sign up HERE!” with the website https://anthrosednet.com/ . Design uses green and gold tones with a stylised skyline and landscape along the bottom.

Thank you for being here! 👋😆

If you’d like to help more people find the #Anthropocene Sediment #Network, feel free to share this #flyer in your channels and communities! 📜

The ASN is a free, open #community for applied, multidisciplinary work on #sediment movement in a #human-shaped world 🌍🌏🌎

At the same time, the system’s behaviour is far from linear — not every intense #rainfall event results in a major debris flow. Internal factors such as subsurface water pathways, #sediment availability, and degrading #permafrost decisively control the dynamics.

A picture worth a thousand words: Flood plumes off Cairns today, showing how sediment flows off the land into waterways and out to the ocean and reefs.

Healthy catchments. Healthy reefs. They're not separate conversations.

Yesterday the #Anthropocene #Sediment Network Team met to map out our 2026 event programme! We made some important steps in planning our 2026 conference... watch this space!

If you’re interested in sediment and human impacts, now is a very good time to get involved! Membership is free!

How does sand mining reshape rivers?

@drchrishackney.bsky.social explores how #sandmining is transforming riverbeds in the #MekongRiver, #Cambodia. His work shows that bedforms become larger, steeper, and rougher than natural ones, altering flow and #sediment dynamics!

What is the ASN? How did it begin? And what are we doing?

Our founder and leader, Dr Catherine Russell, opened the first #Anthropocene #Sediment #Network conference in June 2025.

We’re excited for this #interdisciplinary space for understanding materials and their motion on a human-shaped #Earth!

When you visit the #saltmarsh @pie-lter.bsky.social in spring, you can see large slabs of #sediment on the marsh platform, which have been deposited there over the winter by ice rafting: ice freezing to the mudflat, and the frozen mud being carried around by winds and tides onto the marsh (April 4).
