What an inspiring talk by Tomasz Schafernaker last night at Dauntsey's highlighting the significance of weather data, and the range of hydro-met sources in UK. Proud to be building southern Africa’s only network of high elevation weather stations! @Campbellsci_Af

Do you know that forests cover 39% of the worlds mountains? Mountain forests & grasslands ⛰️cool local temperatures ⛰️increase water retention ⛰️store carbon ⛰️reduce risk of erosion & landslides Let’s recognize the importance of our mountain ecosystems #MountainsMatter #IMD2023

Excited to install our new AWS at QwaQua Campus UFS at the base of the Maloti-Drakensberg! Our first in 🇿🇦 and first in an "elevation transect" of 5 stations (highest at 3,050m) to compare weather data from top to bottom. #Mountains #ClimateChange #Weather #researchtips

Fascinating lecture Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) by the inspirational Dr Callum Munday University of Oxford about his project to gather met observations in South Africa, Zambia & Kenya, using weather balloons. Proud to be providing high elevation data across the region #ClimateActionNow

Work has begun on our new residential Field Research Centre on Mount Mulanje in Malawi. A brilliant effort by so many people - all the equipment (several tonnes) had to be carried up by hand. #Research #ClimateAction #Malawi
