📢New Publication📢 In 2019, everything aligned to allow for the first extensive #fieldcampaign along the coast of #Guyana since the 1980's. This dataset focuses on relations between mangrove density, wave attenuation rates and sediment characteristics.

New data description paper: Wave attenuation potential, sediment properties and mangrove growth dynamics data over Guyana's intertidal mudflats: assessing the potential of mangrove restoration works https://t.co/taf9gUz6AC
New paper by Suyog Chaudhari & @PokhrelYadu (@MSU_EGR) in @theAGU Water Resources Research investigates flooding patterns across the Amazon River basin, findings "large dams in the Amazonian subbasins...have altered downstream river flow amplitude by up to 3 orders of magnitude."
This field campaign was such a memorable part of my PhD! I am grateful for persistence and support of @RoelvinkDano , @MickvanderWegen , @JasperDijkstra, @JohanReyns and @PimWillemsen, as well as @NAREI and @MoPW in Guyana. I look forward to being in the field again very soon!

@IrinaOvereem, yes this is one of the restored sites in Guyana and is now naturally expanding. Restoration is indeed very important when done correctly!
Happy #worldwetlandsday! In these times, the social and economic needs of countries often rival the need for sustainable solutions. Therefore, today and everyday I join with the many voices amplifying the need for #wetlands and their protection.

#NatureBasedSolutions are actions for societal challenges that are inspired by processes and functioning of nature. 🍃
Some examples:
- Restoring vegetation for #coastal protection
- Spatial development for flood protection
- #BuildingwithNature in urban areas
This parasite lives in fish hearts. The copepod find a fish & burrows thru the fish's body into its heart. Then the copepod grows giant and transforms into this monstrosity. The back end of the copepod grows back from the heart OUT of the fish's body to release eggs😱 #Crustmas
Ready for #AGU2021!! 🙌 Today we will have some thought provoking discussions on coastal geo-morphodynamics. We have a pot filled with field observations, physical experiments and interdisciplinary studies like morphology with biology, ecology and policies. @12:45 CST/ 19:45 CET
We simply cannot discuss climate change adaptation (for low lying coasts and SIDS countries), without addressing the importance of physical processes in nature which contribute towards coastal resilience to sea level rise and high waves. See you there!
