Just published a new post on UNEP’s State of Finance for Nature 2026 and the “Big Nature Turnaround” using the Nature Transition X-Curve to show what has to change: nature-negative finance is ~US$7.3T vs ~US$220B for NbS. #Climateaction @ecowarriorss.bsky.social medium.com/@praveenkalu...

Water isn’t just “scarce” in many places. It’s becoming insolvent. This article explains water bankruptcy: when withdrawals keep exceeding renewable supply and societies start draining (and damaging) long-term reserves like aquifers and wetlands, often beyond recovery. Read: lnkd.in/gucqseBi

Grateful for a productive week at the XIIth IAHS Scientific Assembly at IIT Roorkee, India. Learned from leading global researchers and scientists. Congratulations to the organizers for an outstanding and highly successful event. #IAHS2025 #Hydrology #IITRoorkee

Pre-event (13 Jun 2024) and post-event (7 Aug 2025) satellite images of Dharali, Uttarkashi, India reveal how a sudden cloudburst unleashed mudflows that blanketed the Bhagirathi and Kheer Gad channels in thick grey sediment, erasing roads, orchards and buildings. #Disaster #Flood #ISRO #Cloudburst

Cloudburst-induced flash flood and debris flow devastated village in Uttarkashi, India today. A glacial sedimentary deposit at 6,700 m, 7 km upstream, triggered by intense rainfall, caused rapid debris flow through a steep nala, reaching Dharali in under a minute. www.linkedin.com/posts/pravee...

Aug 5th 2025, flash floods due to cloudburst in Uttarakhand, India represent a tragic and complex natural disaster, highlighting the vulnerability of mountainous regions to extreme weather events. The vulnerability to extreme weather events demands urgent focus on resilient infrastructure and EWS.

Concerning trend shown in the Earth Overshoot Day chart (1971-2025). The date moves earlier each year, with 2025 at 1.8 Earths indicating unsustainable resource use. Over-consumerism is a key driver. Super rich should reduce their carbon footprint. #EarthOvershootDay #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

I’m having trouble separating natural forests from plantations in my LULC maps using GEE—they often get merged into same class.I want to separate them using unsupervised classification only. What additional data, indices or processing steps would you recommend to distinguish them more reliably?

While analyzing FAO WaPOR Biomass data, I noticed a striking pattern along a river: one bank shows high vegetation growth, the other much lower. Remote sensing (RS) data reveals these stark differences in Total Biomass Productivity (TBP), possibly due to irrigation, soil type, or groundwater. #IWMI

Our latest study reveals sustainable grazing strategies for semi-arid rangeland. We recommend an enhancement of infrastructure and market integration, coupled with specific zoning as the prerequisite sustainable land management practices. #LDD #SDGs Link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Most rivers, especially in remote or rural areas, have no streamflow gauges. That makes it hard to predict floods, manage water or plan infrastructure. Researchers use LSTM to estimate upstream flow based on observed downstream flow. @ciroh.bsky.social awi.ua.edu/news/machine...

Our choices this decade will shape the world our children inherit. A child born in 2020 faces different futures by 2090. We’re at +1.1°C since pre-industrial times. Low emissions = temperature stability. High emissions =warming beyond 2100 shorturl.at/fm6pp #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #UHI #SDGs

Katy Perry’s 11-min space trip emitted more CO₂ than a billion people’s lifetimes. Blue Origin’s launches spew 50 tons of CO₂ per passenger, dwarfing most emissions. This is climate inequality. Will we stop normalizing pollution as luxury? www.thegamer.com/katy-perry-1... #Emissions #Climatechange

In a time of rampant climate change denial, Hubert Reeves’ words sting: 'Man worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature,' not seeing Nature as the divine he reveres. It’s time to wake up and protect what’s sacred. #ClimateChange #Nature
