72 schools are greener and more flood resilient thanks to funding from @MayorofLondon @educationgovuk & @ThamesWater. We installed over 500 rain planters like these, to soak up rain and boost biodiversity #LDNFLoodAware

Trying to drum up public participation - particularly from families and children from anywhere - in monitoring broods during the School holidays - pls share widely and also on Facebook too 🦆🦆🦆
Can you solve the disappearing duck mystery?
Families, schoolchildren and bird lovers can help Essex scientists discover why our Mallards are declining.
Keep your eyes peeled during the holidays and find out how to get involved here: essex.ac.uk/news/2024/07/24/…

That’s a wrap @Groundswellaguk & @h2020reset Fascinating talks, sun, science and farming! Especially enjoyed conversations about the social science behind Regenerative Agriculture. Check out some thoughts from farmers in our video from #Groundswell 2022 youtu.be/qy6dSc-XeLg?feature…
If you missed this, the recording is now online the-ies.org/analysis/fwr-web… Huge thanks to @IES_UK #FreeStation #NaturalFloodManagement #LowCostSensing
Webinar today on #FreeStation low-cost environmental monitoring for assessing #NaturalFloodManagement #NaturalDroughtManagement #NatureBasedSolutions, examples from #CatchmentToCoast, #H2020ReSET @spainsestate #ClimateResilientSchools #SuDS and the @EnvAgency #NFM pilots
#Groundswell2024: real action on #Climate and #Nature by those working smart to keep us fed sustainably. We spoke with hundreds who came over to talk about our @H2020ReSET & #CatchmentToCoast innovations for #NbS #ELMS #BNG through open-access mapping and monitoring
Our H2020ReSET.eu project is ending this month, so this week we'll be telling you what we made and how it might be useful to you. @EUeic #EUeic #FET_EU #EICPathfinder @EU_EISMEA #EnvironmentalIntelligence #H2020ReSET
#6: We developed tools to plot historic climate data for any weather station in the world and GCM projections for any country or basin in the world: #RecentClimate (analytics.policysupport.org/…) and #FutureClimate (analytics.policysupport.org/…) #H2020ReSET
#7 Great to work with @icatalist, riks.nl @GeoEcoMar @cnr_irsa @Sophia__Burke & @drarnoutvans @yshennan. Huge thanks to @EUeic @EU_EISMEA & @spainsestate @StMaryleStrand @KCLGeoglabs #OxCamArc #ThamesGateway #Duero #Bologna #Carasuhat h2020reset.eu
This is great. So many datasets brought together in such a compelling, visual way. The patterns are similar to our #WaterWorld Human Footprint on Water Quality Metric #HFWQ for UK. policysupport.org/waterworld
Very excited to announce the launch of
THE WATERSHED POLLUTION MAP!
River health, landfills, sewage, road run-off, intensive farming, big industry, forever chemicals, abandoned mines, bathing waters, flood risk, protected areas and so much more... 🧵
