NEW PAPER! Our paper on Chiefs and Floods in Tamale, Ghana, is based on two years of #coproduction #cocreation activities. We examined the role of traditional authorities in #climatechange #adaptation. Full article: https://t.co/MKeHlan92D

A formative learning experience for me, working closely with an excellent team of human geographers and social scientists.

We outline how a hybrid governance system (i.e., deep collaboration between state and non-state authorities) could optimize the provision of public goods and services and enable more effective and equitable outcomes.

@sushantmehan @WouterBuytaert @imperialcollege @adventuringliam @SUMITSE14587600 Thanks @sushantmehan ! We are just prototyping them currently but we are intending to publish the plans and components open-sources once tested

Installing prototype low-cost water quality sensors developed by Tom Rowan and @WouterBuytaert at @imperialcollege for the #SmartWater project with @adventuringliam

[Ben C Howard @Hydro_Howard]

@sushantmehan @WouterBuytaert @imperialcollege @adventuringliam Thanks for Qs @SUMITSE14587600 and @sushantmehan. Currently measuring temp, EC, turbidity, but soon pH as well. Cost is currently about £100 with LoRa telemetry, but will hopefully come down. Provides point measurement at the surface. They are not measuring level/flow.

Super productive time with @CynthiaAwuni and @AOckelford at the seaside! Planning loads of exciting stuff and eating fish and chips - first time for Cynthia (5/10)
