Shocking. #conservation is having little impact, #watermanagement is not listening, regulation is silent or sidestepped #ProtectWater

#NatureBasedSolutions 🌱 like restoring wetlands & mangroves 🌳 can help us adapt to #climatechange - but action is lagging behind ambition. New #OECD paper lays the groundwork for tackling this challenge. Learn more➡️ oe.cd/il/nbs-cw

Keep an eye on the #semantics of #naturalDisasters as new understandings emerge

The northern state of Punjab produces much of India’s rice and wheat. In the past 70 years, farmers have depleted the groundwater at a pace that will soon dry out the state. eos.org/articles/india…

What are all the molecular parts of #SARSCoV2? Getting the answer out of existing databases is harder than you might think. I wrote an article on our work curating a canonical list of proteins for our COVID-19 #KnowledgeGraph douroucouli.wordpress.com/2020/08/05/wha… 1/n

Antarctica's floating ice shelves have lost ~4,000 gigatons of ice in the last 25 years - enough meltwater to almost fill the Grand Canyon. New research from Scripps Glaciology, NASA Goddard researchers & others showed the impact of warmer ocean waters.

The #DeepSea is home to some of the most unique animals on the planet, including a huge range of #sharks. Here’s a roundup of some of our favourites this #SharkWeek! #DefendTheDeep #DeepTrouble

Did you know that snails live in the Arctic ocean? But we don't know how fast the fastest polar snail is, so you might need to pack your diving gear & race them on the seabed to find out! On land, expedition members have been known to race one other on foot & skis. #SPRIsummer

#ICYMI here are some quick facts about the #Arctic 🐻‍❄️ #DYK the total size of the Arctic region is larger than Africa?

ENVO is part of the #ontology & #semantics stack behind IOC-UNESCO Ocean Best Practices System These workshops help us understand the values and needs of the #ocean community, & create ontology content to support them for a #FAIR #digitalecosystem

The GSC consortium refers to over a dozen ontologies in the MIxS standard for biosample metadata, including Environment Ontology for environmental context and uberanat for body sites github.com/EnvironmentOnt…
