Excessive water hyacinth growth in African lakes is causing all kinds of problems, but can you track water hyacinth from space? ITC water resources department PhD student Finn Münch outlines how he will tackle this during his PhD.
"Stationarity" is the belief that past climate is an accurate predictor of future conditions. Sounds silly, right? But we've baked this false sense of stability into all our human systems. From building codes to water systems to infrastructure, it's all designed for a planet that no longer exists.

Last panel discussion of today's #EOforAfrica Symposium today. Lots of efforts in increasing uptake of earth observation missions through many useful applications. But also concerns from the floor on how to flip this around and make sure they benefit the actual end user on the ground.
Judd et al present a monumental reconstruction of global average surface temperature spanning most of the Phanerozoic (485 million years to present) using data assimilation methods. ⚒️🧪🌊 #Paleoclimate#IceSheets#ClimateChange#CO2www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
A long-term record of global mean surface temperature (GMST) provides critical insight into the dynamical limits of Earth’s climate and the complex feedbacks between temperature and the broader Earth ...
