Interested in all things rivers, especially riverbank erosion, flooding, sand mining, and the Mekong.
This #WorldOceansDay, we’re proud to share BlueCorridors.org - a game-changing WWF platform mapping 1,437 whales’ journeys from 31 years of data 🌊 Associate Professor Ryan Reisinger and PhD student Josh Wilson played a key role in its creation. Explore the platform 👉 www.BlueCorridors.org
Absolutely delighted to see this brilliant new river hydrography, GRIT, published as a key output from our NERC funded EVOFLOOD project
Eos@eos.org · last yr.River datasets often miss forks and branches found in highly populated floodplains and deltas. As flooding grows more severe, accurate mapping of these areas is more important than ever. eos.org/research-spo...

By 2050 25% of UK homes at risk of flooding. This story has missed the main headlines today, but improved modelling and revised impacts of CC lead to a major increase in areas flagged at risk from flooding. It’s due to better diagnosis - AND - climate change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
One in four properties may be at risk of flooding by 2050 - report
Climate change could increase flood threats without improvements to defences, the Environment Agency warns.

When Earth's temperature breaches +1.5/+2C depends on our emission choices and on the T during the pre-industrial era. Due to changes in the way we have measured ocean T through time (tinyurl.com/3trsfbrj) pre-industrial T is uncertain. Palaeoclimate offers a way to reduce this uncertainty (1/2) 🧪⚒️🌊
Is the world 1.3°C or 1.5°C warmer? Historical ship logs hold answers
Diverging estimates of 19th century ocean temperatures drive uncertainty over global warming
