Hydrology Paper of the Day @iceybethan.bsky.social on how hydrological sources in the Cordillera Vilcanota of the Andes supply water to bofedales as high elevation wetlands: the role of geomorphology; hydrological connectivity; how bofedales are fed by non-glacial sources; and climate adaptation.

‼️”The water, food and energy security of millions of people is at risk in several regions of the tropical Andes because climate change is altering water storage in high Andean wetlands (bofedales), lakes and glacier ice. These features play a crucial role in delaying water release…”

It's been a pleasure being involved in this project! Thanks to @iceybethan.bsky.social; @owenking.bsky.social; @fridaylast.bsky.social; @klausdodds.bsky.social & @jamesmlea.bsky.social for great discussions on the decolonisation of historical 🇬🇧🇬🇱 connections. See thread below for each StoryMap 👇

Particularly pleased to see this storymap published - any excuse to talk about Phyllis Wager's boots! I especially wanted to make sure we included the Kalaallit women who worked on this expedition - Paula, Victoria, Widinma and unnamed others - alongside their British female colleagues

I'm thrilled to see these go live! It's been a fantastic project to be involved in 😊 If you're interested in researching similar hidden histories using @rgs.org collections or partnering on a project with us in @rgs-ibghe.bsky.social, get in touch!

It is a delight to launch our Greenland Connection resources! These tell the hidden stories and histories of the UK-led exploration of Greenland. www.antarcticglaciers.org/glaciers-and...

The trend for AI customer service bots is awful.

What with film Project Hail Mary being all up in my ads at the moment, I decided to read the book. I did enjoy it, but it's a shame that no practicing climate or Antarctic scientists were consulted. I had to grit my teeth for those parts.

Glaciers are useful water resources but perhaps even more important are high altitude wetlands. Where are they globally? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It was exactly 4 years ago that we completed the work on the @ipcc.bsky.social AR6 WG 2 report.

The daffodils and crocuses are out. The greens won the by-election. Hope over hate.

The idea that we can “overshoot now, fix later” is simplistic. Overshoot relies on massive CDR, but temporary warming can trigger tipping points and long-lived changes: ice sheet loss, permafrost thaw, ecosystem shifts. Cooling later doesn’t guarantee reversal. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

IPY-5 is approaching. And I am pondering, what is the purpose of IPY-5? Science diplomacy, and international cooperation, is of course vital, as we see renewed attacks on the autonomy of Greenland.
