Great to kick off the interactive part of our online course on open hardware for environmental sensing, co-developed with unescoWATER and ICTP. By invitation only for now, but hopefully we can open it up soon. openlearning.unesco.org/courses/course…

Great to be back in Cuenca almost 25 years after my first arrival as an innocent MSc student, and to reconnect with so many first-hour (and more recent!) friends and colleagues.

Travelling overland between our Deplete and Retreat field sites from Cusco and La Paz, with beautiful vistas of Lake Titicaca that is nevertheless showing worryingly low water levels as a result of the continuing #drought.

After 14 years, our participatory hydrological monitoring network iMHEA is in rude health, and our annual assembly an absolute highlight.

#NaturebasedSolutions can be very effective for #WaterSecurity, but their impact is often hard to predict. Morgane Lalonde from Sorbonne Université led our effort to summarize the strength of the current scientific evidence base, now out in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1…

Working with and for communities in #Tamale, #Ghana, we have delivered a MASSIVE #impact programme to enable citizen-led #adaptation to #flooding. Short thread. More here: avbc.me/DwZt80wU

The loss of glaciers causes concerns for downstream #watersecurity, but they are not the only contributors to downstream water availability. Our new paper led by Tom Gribbin quantifies wetland contributions to streamflow in glacierized river basins in Peru. dx.doi.org/10.1002/hyp.15…
