Finland is betting on dirt to boost children’s health and early results are remarkable. By replacing asphalt with forest soil, researchers found kids developed stronger immune systems in just weeks. As Europe faces rising autoimmune diseases, this simple return to nature could be a game-changer.

Spring tide + heavy rain = flood alert. Naturally local Facebook has changed from a place where experienced infrastructure project managers hang out to a conference of hydrologists. Couple of dry days and the roadworks will be back on the agenda I'm sure.

It is incredible to see how much been iterated upon with Leaflet at such a small time scale and with relatively so few users. Imagine what happens when it's not a small niche implementation of ATProto but effectively a canonized companion app to Bluesky.
Nice tool for adding *latest posts* from a Leaflet blog anywhere in another doc or post!
See demo for an example of Leaflet as personal homepage ✨
You can even customize color + number of posts to show :)

Has anyone used Lekan #opensource for hydrological/hydraulic modelling?
Be interested to here what #DTM resolution is needed and when you're using it i.e. catchment, sub-catchment or more granular domains

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.
This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.

Nice example for the importance of #Accessibility in #RiskCommunication. Wondering if there are more? Is there something for #FloodRisks as well?
If you feel earthquake shaking or receive an earthquake alert you should drop down to the ground, take cover under a sturdy object, and hold on until all the shaking has stopped. www.shakeout.org/california/d...

This is the Drama Theatre, bombed by Russia in March 2022, where hundreds died. All evidence of the strike has since been wiped away. Location: 47.0960, 37.54871

Funnily enough this morning's #NCKF talk @dmidk.bsky.social was also on this topic, though on the difference in persistent warming to different climate forcers: specifically methane and nitrous oxide Vs. CO2. Great work by Joe Nielsen who wrote a nice piece on it in Danish on Weekend Avisen.
I'm not sure many folks realize just how persistent the warming from CO2 is.
Here is a set of 1000-year climate model runs (using FaIR) simulating one year of CO2 emissions (40 gigatons in 2020); a millennia later the world has not cooled back down!
