One week left to submit applications... Come work with me (Cardiff School of Earth & Environmental Sciences) and @Faithatron (King's Geography) on our Lloyd's Register Foundation funded project on disaster preparedness at the household level, in contexts where there are multiple, interrelated hazards.

Geneva is a nice place to work this week; I can see Mont Blanc from the World Meteorological Organization office! 🏔️ National vs Global #drought monitors, drought planning and impacts monitoring guidelines, drought legislation, just some of the new Integrated Drought Management Programme docs coming soon...

Apparently I have a new paper out! It sounds like a great read... 📄🤓

MSc thesis successfully completed by Gaël Kobessen: Potential impact of #sand_mining on water resources. 💡 If you take the sand, you take the alluvial aquifer, you reduce recharge to deep geology. A combination of MODFLOW + hydrogeological & participatory fieldwork in Botswana.

💧Today is #WorldWaterDay. It's in my cup of tea, it gives me a job, it's availability dominates planning for trekking across the Balkans this summer and I need to go to the shops now before it starts raining all day. I'm extremely fortunate that none of this is life or death. 🌧️

Analysis of worldwide #drought monitors reveals a range of types from continually updated interactive maps with numerous indices and calculation periods 🇪🇸 to monthly bulletins with a single index 🇨🇺 to snippets of wisdom 🇲🇲

Check out our drought session on Thursday starting at 10:45. @_pedroalencar will give a talk on impact perception as a driver for the definition of the start and end of droughts #EGU2024 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/…

Venezuela is now ice-free! 🥵 First American country to lose all its glaciers! 🧊📈 2 ha Humboldt Gl. (here 2024 | 2008) is now static and was downgraded from glacier to ice field Next countries on the list: Indonesia, Mexico & Slovenia amp.ntn24.com/noticias-cienc… Extreme Temperatures Around The World

The floods in Brazil persist, revealing critical shortcomings in disaster management. Here is my take: 📣Communication failures exacerbated the crisis. While Metsul and CEMADEN issued alerts, many districts did not react. They lack Civil Defense coordination & contingency plans

#Mexico City could run out of water within weeks. "Day Zero" is counting down to June 26th. The whole country is in #drought conditions, and huge parts are in Extreme drought. A society can't run without water, and that could become a reality very soon in some regions.

What a line up! The 2024 IDMP Advisory Committee Meeting here in lovely Geneva. As inspiring as always so far... #drought 💧 ☀️ 🌱

I joined twitter 6.5 years ago to keep up with latest research on #drought, #sociohydrology, #hydrogeology, #environmental_justice, etc. I don't log on much anymore, but when I do, I get none of the above in my feed. Has everyone related to the above gone somewhere else? Where?
