Today we have "On Drought, Dowsing, and Deep Drilling: Thinking About Groundwater History in an Age of Climate Emergency" by @forrestpass.bsky.social

On Drought, Dowsing, and Deep Drilling: Thinking About Groundwater History in an Age of Climate Emergency
Canada’s 2025 drought exposed groundwater precarity; in the past, Ottawa Valley settlers adapted to this precarity through dowsing, augers, and evolving well technologies.

Congratulations, but sadly scholars who’ve contributed to this success are forced to leave the university after 8 years due to the chain contract regulation. Almost 90% of academic staff live and work precariously—are on limited contracts because the @univie.ac.at does not offer permanent positions
