Where might climatic suitability for malaria transmission change in future? In our paper published today in Science, we use hydrological models from @ISIMIPImpacts to examine the effect of hydrology on malaria suitability changes in Africa.

@LandEthics @BritSafe Every few years I have to do this... lifting zones, posture, etc. Of course when you've only got one hand it's all a complete fiction anyway and you lift stuff however you can. Pure B.S... oh look there it is in my inbox again...

Malaria will be on the move in a changing climate. Including processes such as rainfall and runoff in future forecasts paints a complex picture.

Ahead of #AfricaDay, we highlight recent research projects in which our researchers have collaborated with African communities, scholars and practitioners to address local and global challenges:

"Revolutionary model predicts malaria trends in Africa": @GeomorphMark's study, which used multiple models to understand and predict environmental malaria risk in Africa, was reported on by @EarthDotCom.

Climate models predict larger than expected decline in African malaria transmission areas, according to new research in Science.

The study's approach offers a more nuanced view that could inform #malaria control efforts in a warming world. https://t.co/uc9TkNp729

Shiofting patterns and an overall decrease in suitability across Africa... But when it's too dry or hot for malaria... you know you are in bother! With @MrozElizabeth @simon_gosling @tdm_willis and others not on here!

@tom_galia Its great isn't it? Wonderful to get undergraduates involved too. I used it on some beaver dams recently.

@Dunc76 @MeanwoodMatters Blimey! Feeling smug right now... We were driving back to Horsforth on the ringroad exactly then but I diverted through Meanwood as I was worried about the dip. Sometimes it pays to study surface water!

@abhishek_dixitt @wateratleeds @SedsStringer @DuncanQuincey @UniLeedsGlobal Lovely to meet you Abhishek. You are an inspiration! Best of luck with the research... I can't wait to hear more!

A recently published paper (https://t.co/YS7XT4MJMs) is getting some traction: we mapped vegetation changes as a result of ice loss on the Greenland Ice Sheet. I did the change analysis using GW binomial regression.

The medieval marketing of Erik the Red presenting Greenland as a lush fertile land is coming true. The Greening of Greenland since the late 1980s in response to a warming Arctic has serious connotations, both locally within Greenland and globally:

Greenland is greening! It's great to see this research published in @SciReports by Michael Grimes and Jonathan Carrivick. It brings back great fieldwork memories! https://t.co/PzBBPITfRD @SoGLeeds

@ParsnipsParsons @John_Horton_ @MeganClinch @GrahamScott14 Congratulations Katie! Wonderful news! 🎉🎉🎉

Some boreal peatlands are losing their characteristic pools – a concern for their unique ecosystems.

@rbpmleeds and @uppsalauni researchers studied the long-term changes of the pools at Hammarmossen to understand why it's happening.

Our recent study in Ecosystems by PhD student @daniel_colson, examining rapidly shrinking pool area on a patterned boreal peatland, has been summarised on the @EnvLeeds news feed https://t.co/oeJXoGeKMz
