Podcast Launch: History of Hydrology Interviews “The number one piece of advice I would give anybody is to pick a problem and go after that problem. Ideally, you should pick a problem that requires a lifetime to solve.”  Prof. Siva Sivapalan, episo...

We’re excited to launch our new podcast on the History of Hydrology! 🎙️
This series brings together expert interviews to explore how hydrological science has evolved over time— & how past insights continue to shape today’s water challenges and solutions.

The Feugh in Deeside after storm Dave (sound up)

A glimmer of Easter brightness before the big storm rolls in.

Wishing you all a peaceful weekend.

Ein Schäfer verteidigt das Raubtier: „Dem Wolf die Schuld zu geben, ist oft nur die halbe Wahrheit“ David Gerke hat 60 Schafe. Im Interview erklärt er, warum er die Gefahr durch Wölfe für aufgebauscht hält – und wie er seine Herde schützt.

David Gerke hat 60 Schafe. Im Interview erklärt er, warum er die Gefahr durch Wölfe für aufgebauscht hält – und wie er seine Herde schützt. Lesenswert! ⬇️

How lovely, and really quite astonishing. Book tourism in action. Recent visitors to my neighbour's BnB came to stay because they'd read Windswept! And others stopped her on the road to ask about it.
Thank you to everyone who has bought, gifted, recommended & written about this wee book.

U.S. Forest Service unveils extensive closures of research facilities Cost-cutting move is expected to cause resignations and turmoil

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

Photo of a mostly recovered slump in Alaska. Only the downhill edge of the slumped area still lacks vegetation.

Warming permafrost causes "thaw slumps" that, like mini landslides, erase vegetation from the landscape. A new study tracks recovery time across the globe. Some sites take a decade, some take a century or more to recover their greenness. #climate #ecology

Zeitreise: Melioration - Bodenentwässerung in der DDR Von Mitte der 1950er-Jahre bis zum Ende der DDR wurden Felder, Wiesen und Moore trockengelegt - mit weitreichenden Folgen bis heute.

Zur Geschichte der Moorentwässerung in MV:

Aus Winterdürre wird Frühlingsdürre - Lage verschlechtert sich

74% der Fläche Deutschlands mit teils schwerer Dürre im Gesamtboden

März hat Defizit nicht aufgeholt, Situation schlechter als letztes Jahr, ganz schlecht für's Grundwasser

EcoTWIN 1.0: a fully distributed tracer-aided ecohydrological model tracking water, isotopes, and nutrients Abstract. The value of stable water isotopes in constraining process representation in hydrological models is well acknowledged with numerous tracer-aided hydrological models developed in recent years...

We coupled a tracer-aided model for estimating water ages & travel times with nutrient modelling to track water, isotopes & NO3–N! Wu et al. EcoTWIN 1.0: A Fully Distributed Tracer-Aided Ecohydrological Model Tracking Water, Isotopes, and Nutrients. GMD doi.org/10.5194/gmd-...

THIS is the sound of extensive subsurface artificial drainage = lost groundwater recharge in a heavily drought sensitive region in Brandenburg. And people are surprised that droughts get more severe 😳🥴

Enhancing process interpretation with isotopes: potential discharge-isotope trade-offs in ecohydrological modelling of heavily managed lowland catchments Abstract. Tracer-aided modelling (TAM) can help quantify ecohydrological processes, as stable water isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) can provide complementary information beyond streamflow and help constrain e...

The Glieningmoor / peatland ca 50 min south of Berlin. right next to the agricultural site where I just posted the subsurface drainage. The peatland provides lots of water storage capacity but is drying out (shown by tree encroachment)

THIS is the sound of extensive subsurface artificial drainage = lost groundwater recharge in a heavily drought sensitive region in Brandenburg. And people are surprised that droughts get more severe 😳🥴

Fotos von wassergefüllten Senken in der Agrarlandschaft und einem Entwässerungsgraben

Wer dieser Tage durch den aufgetauten Nordosten fährt, sieht erstmal viel Wasser 💧 in der Landschaft.

Man sieht leider aber auch, wie es rasch wieder *verschwindet*, denn Drainagen & Entwässerungsgräben laufen auf Hochtouren.
Das Wasser soll weg aus der Landschaft, nix mit #Grundwasserneubildung. 😐

Watch: Where Wellington's sewage is drifting in the harbour Researchers have mapped the flow of raw sewage from the faulty Moa Point plant in the harbour. So is it safe to swim?

Wellington is currently pumping raw sewage into the sea because of a failure somewhere in the water treatment-outflow pipeline.

Tell you what, I’d rather pay more in rates and taxes than have to swim in a sea full of untreated poo!
