I mean yeah, why have we had to live through a series of "this war is dumb as hell" (and is hell for people on the receiving end who have nothing to do with the causes)

Improvements in #agrivoltaics - we need to keep land in production vs becoming housing developments or data centers
*All of the projects are founded on the principle that it is cheaper to prevent water problems at the source than it is to address them farther downstream."

Our March featured collection explores salts: how they move over roadways, affect wildlife, and even kept carbon dioxide locked away in Earth's past.๐ง
Tired today but with ya in spirit - good job citizens
If you're running a fish fry this Lent, you're not pouring oil down the drain right? Right?
Lent fish fries?
Kayaking on a recovered river and a scene of people enjoying new improved water supplies
I'm behind b/c I can't spend all day curating but at #WorldWaterDay it's a privilege 2B part of water improvements in various ways: Recovery of the #Mahoning R. in #Ohio, once an industrial sewer & now a recreational treasure & water supplies in the USA & #Tanzania w/ permanent #groundwater systems
I'll have to send that one to the granddaughter mastering the bass
What he said - C'est quoi ce bordel, Total ?
Did time as a technical editor for the paycheck ....
Yeah can't wait ....
Mixed in w/ your Great Artesian Aquifer water producing zones, what can go wrong? It's been 11 yr since I was there working w/ the State to develop indicating monitors. Your point, the C load is the more important, but keeping coal in the ground is the biggest goal.

Borehole (well, downhole) video, the truth teller revealing what's hard to see at the surface, e.g., problems, faulty construction, lost tools, what's actually there. Our team in #Tanzania #groundwater #SDG6
This strikes personally as my father was one of the US soldiers toured thru Ohrdruf camp soon after liberation. He kept a small journal of his unit's travels & it stopped there, awhile before his fly out w/ a golden injury. Companies do property transactions & build these camps here too. Squeeze em
Our Director, Professor Melissa Scanlan, just co-authored the 7th edition of โWater Law in a Nutshellโ โ a book that dives into the legal side of the biggest water challenges of our time.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. Thatโs why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. Itโs also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
Some rich ol' white men with serious emotional development problems = whole lotta corruption - this is how a rational mixed economy can get turned into a "socialist workers' paradise" (none of those have ever been paradise for the workers)

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay - conserve your local wetlands
Yeah, exempting from environmental review is not a good idea, if true
BTW church in the background was built using a regional massive fossiliferous sandstone

Still figuring out BS's image rules - all these are sized to < 1 MB from "real camera" photos (9-10 MB).

Some wintry water scenes in the great Mahoning R watershed in eastern Ohio USA. Signs of industry past (steel) & a USGS stream gauge we kayakers watch closely just downstream of a low-head dam removed in 2020
*Sigh* too soon, believe me
Most human cultures believe nature is good for us. Now scientists are studying biochemical compounds emitted by plants to protect themselves from insects, bacteria, protozoa and fungi -- which seem to be protective medicine for people too. My story for Nature Outlook: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
New from @gruberte.bsky.social and I in @science.org: The energy transition is at risk, and energy models are missing the threat. Fossil energy networks from oil to coal to gas have minimum viable scales of operation, and those thresholds are closer than we think:

Thank you to everyone who joined for the first webinar in our "Integrating Hydrology & Geophysics" series with @cuahsi.bsky.social yesterday!
If you weren't able to tune in live, a recording of presentations and discussion from Hilary Martens and Steve Holbrook is now available.

Reasons to read the terms & conditions. Also noted on @linkedin.com the number of job postings for environmental & earth sci positions basically to train #AI when such experts are better employed in resource management & earth healing
