My review paper ‘Anthropogenic Stresses on the World’s Big Rivers’ has just been published in Nature Geoscience. Hope it may be of interest.

Our new State of the Science paper on sole structures - the catchily named Flow-induced Interfacial Deformation Structures (FIDS) is now out in Sedimentology: https://t.co/QTVZqXaeOF
with @KHwave @Making_Ripples @stratleeds Paul Wignall and Piotr Lapcik. Here is a taster...

@RishiSunak ….really delivering racism for the British people … and ensuring UK international competitiveness goes down. Awful start to the new year and let’s hope 2024 is when this useless bunch of entitled wasters gets kicked out of office.

@bedform Rishi’s plan to really deliver racism for the British people ….

@WaterSHEDLab @grahamca Oh dear… you’ve yet to realize memory loss comes after vision loss. Two pairs!

Check out our new paper! We find the climate-driven season sediment-transport regime shift in four types of cryosphere-fed rivers. Huge thanks to our amazing team @RiverSediment @AmyEast_gmph @KHwave Albert kettner @CSDMS Jinren Ni, and Xixi Lu

@David_Cameron The man who was largely responsible for getting into this shit returns to even more shit. A sad state showing complete lack of any new talent. Lets just hold an election now.

And an equally brilliant @BBC #PlanetEarth3 segment on our remarkable @WWFPak colleague, Uzma Khan, a global expert on the Indus river dolphin - showing her involvement in rescues & the first satellite tagging of an Indus river dolphin.

Amazing @BBC #PlanetEarth3 episode on #Freshwater inc an extraordinary segment on the successful rescue & relocation of a stranded Indus River dolphin

@WWF has been working with govt & communities in #Pakistan for decades to save this iconic species

High mortality of pink dolphins found in another Amazonian lake during the extreme drought

23 carcasses were found this week at Coari Lake.

More details in our communication released today @inst_mamiraua @UFAM_:

Isolation of Amazon communities during the drought

Even communities along the Amazon River get isolated due to large beaches exposed during the drought

Like this one, close to the city of Alvarães in Amazonas

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.
