A Quarter of America's Bridges May Collapse Within 26 Years. We Saw the Whole Thing Coming. Engineers are scrambling to prevent disaster, but is it too late after decades of neglect?

“Around 25% of bridges in the #USA were built before the #1960s …
According to a new report by #NYT, #bridges are facing unprecedented pressures from #climate events, including large #temperature swings, increased #flooding, & troublesome #soilErosion”

Field trip to our long-term soil erosion monitoring site as part of our seminar "spatio-temporal ecosystem services analysis and assessment". Thanks to Dr. Bastian Steinhoff-Knopp for the insights on measuring and modelling soil erosion control!

Ashes to Acres How wildfire, erosion, and climate upheaval shaped the first farms in the Levant

New research suggests climate-driven wildfires and soil collapse, not human ingenuity alone, sparked the Neolithic shift to farming in the Levant 8,200 years ago. #NeolithicRevolution #Wildfire #SoilErosion #Levant #Paleoenvironment
