Download my latest paper with @BeckyBriant about the #NajafSea basin onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
We tried to answer the questions that the #local people of Najaf usually ask about their lake's history, geography, and archaeology.
Many thanks to @BISI1932

These #indigenous marsh Arab #women were behind listing the marshes in @UNESCO world heritage sites.They are hard-working, leading, and so active in their marshes community, but so vulnerable out of it.
We recommend a #sustainable environment for them:

More than 50 natural water springs have dried. #ClimateCrisis and water mismanagement have caused that in the #Iraqi western desert 🏜. For 100 of years, these springs were feeding many villages and bedouins in Iraq. Imagine the consequences of that on people and nature.

It happened! Cultural heritage was restored as a Global Goal on Adaptation theme - w ref to local, traditional & Indigenous knowledge as well. This is a win for science & helps put the GGA on a more holistic, locally led & just basis. Thanks to all who did this! #CultureatCOP27

Salt and sand are destroying the #archaeological sites in southern #Iraq.
I mentioned that to @WIRED here ⤵️
This summer, drought has revealed a number of previously hidden archaeological sites as low water levels have allowed archaeologists to access historic ruins in Spain, Iraq, and China. But just as climate change giveth, so it taketh away: wired.trib.al/0nSUF5a

It was like a heaven, Mr Mahdi, a farmer in his 82 said. It's a spring in the desert surrounded by gardens of palm trees, grapes, figs and pomegranates. More than 30 acres of wheat, barley and rice. Now, it's salty and not even enough for few plam trees.

We have submitted a report to establish a #ClimateCrisis Centre belong to the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education.
So far the impact of climate change in Iraq has not received the required attention from the #Iraqi Government.

“The groundwater is more salty. We are taking the groundwater and using it for everyday life as well as irrigation, so we are increasingly exposing all kinds of surfaces to salt and saltwater.

Talking to @OmarMeriwani about the dark future of #Tigris and #Euphrates. Taking into account and the impact of #ClimateCrisis and mismanagement of water in the region.
The sad fact is that there will be no running Tigris or Euphrates in the future 😥
