[Alessandro Leonardi @ale_leonardi]

Honoured to welcome Prof. Kerry Rowe @RKerryRowe from @queensucivil, who is visiting our group and just gave an inspiring seminar on the challenges that climate change poses to dams, both old and new.

@lufthansa My first two flights cancelled tomorrow LH947 and LH778 but not the last one that gets me to my destination? I’ve tried the chatbot and it just says there’s an error. Tried the phone line and it just hangs up. I can’t rebook. Can’t cancel. Please help me.

Quite rightly a lot of recent coverage of the difficulties farmers have been facing due to the recent deluge.

Unfortunately this is just the beginning.

@PeaseRoland @andrew_barr @bedform Thanks @PeaseRoland - more than 50% of the world’s large dams (ICOLD defines as >15m in height) are embankment dams - ie made of soil and rock. Smaller dams are at least as likely to be too.

@medcyclones Thank you @medcyclones for connecting me to @Stavros_Dafis who starts Science in Action's dive into the causes of the terrible flooding of #Derna.

Airs soon.

[Roland Pease @PeaseRoland]

@medcyclones @Stavros_Dafis Thanks too to @andrew_barr for introducing me to @lis_bowman who explained what the dams above #Derna were for, how they failed, and what that did.
