Drought condition has greatly improved due to recent rainfall in Gujarat and Odisha! More on India Drought Monitor: sites.google.com/a/iitgn.ac.in/… #drought #monsoon2021 #India

Pressure on water resources is growing. More houses are being built, our population is increasing and forecasts indicate that we will use more water. Accurate hydrometric data is critical for ensuring water can be abstracted and used sustainably. #WorldRiversDay #Hydrometry

Important messaging around #drought #recovery (or lack thereof) in the Western US: “overhauling… management practices to accommodate... swings in dry and wet periods” “region will slip into drought more easily… and each time it will be harder to emerge” washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…

Loch Cluanie, old A87 bridge. Only visible when water levels are low, this bridge, part of the original 'Road To The Isles' is now on show.

The UN Land and Drought Good Practice Guidance we have been working on over the last year has now been published! It details how country Parties can report their progress towards Strategic Objective 3 on enhancing their resilience to #drought by monitoring hazard, exposure & vulnerability👇

The U.K.'s most durable patch of snow, Braeriach's 'The Sphinx', is now critically small. At just 4 metres long, it will melt completely unless heavy snow arrives within the next week & buries it. Since the 1700s it has melted 6 times (1933, 1959, 1996, 2003, 2006, 2017 & 2018).

Oman just had 5 years worth of rain come down in a single day. The #ClimateEmergency is here. Time to stop the delays, raise our ambition and #ActOnClimate. #ClimateCrisis #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal #BuildBackBetter #ActionNotWords

"We literally have gone from fire/drought conditions to flooding in one storm cycle." "the cycle of going from years-long drought to record-breaking downpours is something expected to continue because of climate change" npr.org/2021/10/26/104…

Last month's atmospheric river storms brought the exceptionally severe drought conditions in northern California to an abrupt end. Much of the West is still drier than average but much better off than a month ago.

So far in December, Honolulu has reported over 93 times the amount of rainfall it received in November, with 7.71 inches falling on Monday alone: bit.ly/3pvEvZP

Not much more time to apply for this exciting #drought #flood #hydrology #PhD opportunity! (deadline: 12 Jan)

This paper uses a model to argue scientific grants lead to massive wasted effort. Very competitive grants can actually waste more scientific value than they create! Their model shows lotteries with random grants to those above a threshold would be better. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

🔥Heat wave in Antarctica, +38 °C (+68 °F) above normal. That's not an error, or a typo. The remote research station at Dome C recorded a temperature nearly 40 °C above normal for this time of year, beating the previous March record by a startling 20 °C.

Proud #Phd advisor, @SandraHauswirth and Jorge Vega Briones giving their presentations at #EGU2022 on drought forecasting and drought termination as part of EGU Hydrology. Sad I couldn't support them in person, but proud they did a great job!

Given the part-time PhD took 6 years to complete, it’s probably entirely fitting that it was another best part of 3 years until graduation! Gradual PhD termination >> abrupt #drought #termination! Thanks to all Loughborough Geography and Environment UKCEH who supported #LboroGrad
