Congratulations @messamat for this incredible work mapping the global distribution of intermittent rivers!
These findings are a game-changer. We need to rethink the importance of flow intermittence in fluvial processes and river science.

[Global HydroLAB @Global_HydroLAB]

Would you believe that, for half the world's population, the closest river dries up every year?

New work w/ @INRAE_France shows that intermittent streams exist in all climates, biomes.

How do we manage rivers that sometimes cease to flow?

Can global researchers protect one river?

Researchers from HydroLAB worked on companion papers on aquatic areas of ecological importance in Zambia.

The biggest takeaway? The Luangwa River is the highest ranked candidate for river protection.

The #cgu 2021 June-July Annual Meeting is currently accepting abstract submissions! Deadline May 17. @_peripatetic_ , @heloisaemacedo and I will be leading a session on global water data. 10- or 20-minute presentations (incl. Q&A) are welcome. More info on https://t.co/LSgVHRuAAB

[Global HydroLAB @Global_HydroLAB]

In an #egu session today, @Global_HydroLAB announced that HydroSHEDS v2.0 is now in production: https://t.co/LbMSh3YzRa

Based on high-resolution TanDEM-X elevation data, the new data product is a collaboration between @Global_HydroLAB @WWFUS @DLR_en and @confluvio.

Stay tuned!

Academics in the introduction: "This paper fills the gap in the field."
Academics in the conclusion: "with the limitations mentioned here, further research is still needed"

@MaartjeKorver I don’t, but Vulcan Point, an island within a lake within an island within a lake within an island in the Philippines is pretty cool 😎

Don’t feel bad if you haven’t upgraded to ArcGIS Pro because NASA is still using ArcMap 😜

MORE OF THIS!

Women Advancing #River Research.

Check out this awesome group of scientists being highlighted though a multi-journal collaboration. This is a can't miss line-up of top scientists in our field.

First lecture is 25-Feb and then approx. monthly thereafter.

Huge celebrations as the Zambian government halted plans to build a megadam on the Luangwa river, keeping it one of the longest remaining free-flowing rivers in southern Africa! 💧💧💧 https://t.co/qjVjwSUWdt via @Mongabay

An outstanding review of our paper. Thank you, LeRoy Poff! A river that flows free connects up in 4D https://t.co/m9v69DumTL https://t.co/IgwMoKCfDI @LeroyPoff @Global_Hydrolab

[Florence Tan @turbulentflo]

It’s out! Thanks to the genius and hard work of @GuentherGrill . Very grateful to have been able to contribute to the #sediment part of the research!

[Global HydroLAB @Global_HydroLAB]

Global HydroLAB led a team of 34 international researchers to produce the first ever assessment of the location and extent of the planet's remaining free-flowing rivers. Among the longest rivers, just over 1/3 remain free-flowing. Find them on the map:

Very excited to have had the opportunity to present my on-going work on #sediment connectivity at #EGU19 ! Room was packed and overflowing — the #soil community is only getting bigger and bigger! #EGU19SSS #EGU19HS #EGU19GM
