🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Alors que plus d’un quart de la population française est exposé au risque d’inondation par débordement des cours d’eau, plusieurs communes se sont lancées dans des projets qui fonctionnent (élargissement des lits des rivières, forages de voies sous la ville...) www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

It's hard to pay attention to anything else than the epoch-making, unprecedented crisis of democracy in the United States, and what it might foretell about Europe. And makes it difficult to post about anything else...

There are vast, complex worlds in every cubic centimeter of freshwater streams. From a new book project on stream and smaller environments. #rivers #streams #ecology #microbiology #biologyteacher

A complex view, but then so is the reality. Recent research on stream ecosystems shows that trout and other top stream predators get as much as 50% of their summer and autumn food from terrestrial insects that blunder into streams. #rivers #streams #freshwater #ecology

Genuine q. for #rivers & #water folks in the social sciences: is there a (sub)field focusing on rivers in your discipline? Is there a river sociology, a river political science, or a river anthropology? There is definitely a river history, with published states of the art, that's why I ask.

Thanks to my brother, I am starting ‘25 by re-reading Dante’s Inferno, (last read for Italian Lit exam in ‘02! 😱) It’s really incredible. And in this time of triumphing evil, Dante’s (a)moral landscape reads so timely. You can easily place so many present-day characters in his inferno!

The Eco Jurisprudence monitor is a fascinating & hopeful resource: an interactive database of Earth-centred legal initiatives (eg river-rights) as their number & consequences grow & grow. Cartography as imagining otherwise; a glimpse of a geography of hope. Here: ecojurisprudence.org/dashboard/?m...

New Open Access book on the Brahmaputra and Yangzi rivers by a multidisciplinary team of 8. The book focuses on the upper reaches of these rivers and combines physical and social science approaches, as well as deep and historical time scales. It looks promising! Another one for the reading list...

Wild #river news—a global survey looking at 3 million rivers over the past 35 years shows the annual flow of water dropped in 44% of the world’s largest downstream rivers while many headwater streams grew. The impact on everything from sediment to irrigation are vast www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Looks like one to pair with Matthew Johnson’s Hydropower in Authoritarian Brazil. I wish people were not churning out so many exciting #envhist books about rivers. One sabbatical won’t be enough to catch up!
