A new study finds that intensified glacier melt due to #ClimateChange increases the fluctuation of sediment levels in downstream rivers, stressing #FreshwaterEcosystems and their nearby communities. scim.ag/4Oc

Scenes of the Amazon extreme drought in Tefé Very low water levels, heatwave, river erosion in communities, large beaches isolating communities, fish and dolphin mortality, smoke from fires... and now something like a sandstorm.

I made an app to map the floods in Vermont. There's almost 100% state coverage by satellite images from midday July 11. I added typical summer images so you can compare. Zoom, search, turn layers on/off! Default view is major flooding in Montpelier, VT. edethier.users.earthengine.a…

I really think this is one of the central questions of our time — in an age of building and energy transition, let’s figure out how to improve extractive practices for greater sustainability, transparency, and equity. Excited to be part of this #agu2023 session!
