The water flow in the Rhine keeps plummeting. It had never been below 780 m³/s in summer. When we were at 650, an expert told us it couldn't go much lower. Now we're at 572 m³/s, the lowest on record, even below the ice blocked flow in the winter of 1929.

The push for open access (which turned out to be 'Gold'), first from the grassroots and then top down from governments, has created a situation where big publishers now feel they can (and do) charge outlandish APCs. That $ could more than pay for a graduate student stipend for an entire summer. 1/

Extreme fire weather days are increasing worldwide. Since 1979, days with FWI > p95 have risen globally, closely tracking global warming. More heat → more fire-conducive conditions.

Un niño ugandés que fue apadrinado por una familia australiana, que lo apoyó hasta que se convirtió en médico. 36 años después se encuentran. El video es conmovedor. La solidaridad, fraternidad, gratitud y la empatía, siguen siendo los valores que nos hacen humanos. Todavía quedan personas así. 😍👇👏

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly

It could be a sign of what’s to come.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

The Vietnamese Bach Ma Mountain Peak station recorded one-day rainfall of 1,739 mm - close to the global one-day record and perhaps a new record for the northern hemisphere. It is part of a deluge Viet Nam has seen in October, shattering 35 precip records. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/en...

Vietnam sees 35 rainfall records broken in October - VnExpress International

Vietnam's northern and central regions saw a total of 35 rain records broken in October alone as two storms, Matmo and Fengshen, caused unprecedented downpours.

This is a common finding when studying drought in the recent instrumental record and in future projections: much more change in metrics that include the impacts of warming (on vapor-pressure deficit and potential evapotranspiration) when compared to changes in precipitation alone.

Figure from a Hydrology and Earth System Sciences article about projections of drought in Australia, showing much larger changes for a drought index that includes potential evapotranspiration (SPEI) than for one that only includes precipitation (SPI).

📣 Summer low flows decreased in Germany in the last 5 decades and increases in evapotranspiration played a role in that, esp in less humid areas. For more details & analyses, check out our new paper: hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/... @igb-berlin.de @slfdavos.bsky.social @hyclimm.bsky.social

Imprints of increases in evapotranspiration on decreases in streamflow during dry periods, a large-sample analysis in Germany

Abstract. Decreases in streamflow (Q) during dry periods can negatively affect river ecosystems and human societies, and understanding their causes is crucial to anticipate them. The contribution of i...
