A new era of global crop water footprint estimates - Nature Food Agriculture accounts for the largest proportion of green and blue water consumption. Increasing availability of datasets and models for assessing global crop water footprints can pave the way towards more sustainable allocation of limited green and blue water resources worldwide.

My first real experience writing an opinion piece and it went really well! I was asked to talk about the recent #NatureFood paper on global crop #WaterFootprint and put it into a broader context 🤓

After six years in academia, I have reached 1000 citations in Google Scholar!!!

Happy to announce that I got my first personal grant REJECTION. One step closer to become a real scientist 🥳

Will you live an unprecedented life?

In our new paper in @nature.com and accompanying @savethechildren.org report, we detect who will face unprecedented lifetime exposure to climate extremes (🧵) 1/n

#waterfootprint #phdlife #peerreview #academicpublishing | Oleksandr Mialyk | 18 comments First rejected, then accepted: sometimes peer reviewers are unreasonably negative 🧐 My third paper "Evolution of global water footprints of crop production in 1990–2019" just got published ...

Last September I got my paper rejected due one overly negative reviewer but after bringing it to the editorial board they aligned with us and paper got accepted: www.linkedin.com/posts/oleksm... 😅

When you ask a bunch of geoscientists what is the core problem with the modern society 😅

My highlight of #EGU25: exchanging a few words about USA politics with @davidho.bsky.social in the hallway 😅

Our session on Modelling Agricultural Systems under Global Change at #EGU25 was a great success 🌽🌍🖥

45 international researchers presented their work on crop modelling, water management, CO2 sequestration, diets, policy analysis, etc.

Thank you all and see you next year!

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Only political will can end world hunger: Food isn’t scarce, but many people can’t access it Massive political efforts are needed to tackle the root causes of hunger – conflict, poverty, inequality. Technology alone is not sufficient.

My 2 cents: Hunger persists because we allow injustice to endure. If we are serious about ending it, we need bold political action, not just scientific breakthroughs.

Good reason to organise one 🍷

OMG it's not my bday yet but I got the best gift already. Johan Rockström has cited my paper 😱

Great #podcast series about the impacts and role of fossil fuels in the global #foodsystem. Seven episodes packed with great storytelling and interesting insights 🌽⛽

Also, check out @tabledebates.bsky.social and @ipes-food.org who helped to cook this series.

Every year, the World Economic Forum at Davos reports on the consensus of risks facing the world.

In the short-term, it's DISINFORMATION.

Long-term, it's CLIMATE CHANGE.

And, guess what, they're linked!

We are calling for abstracts for our session "Modelling agricultural systems under global change" at #EGU25 (27 April–2 May 2025) 🌍🌽

📅 Send your abstract before 15th January 2025

Hi everyone, I am a postdoctoral #scientist working on the water consumption of global #agrifood systems. Let's connect 🙋‍♂️

In my PhD, I used a global gridded crop model to simulate the #waterfootprint of 175 crops in 1990-2019. The resulting open-access papers are provided below:
