  1. [Science News] Between 2021 and 2023, a rise in #ocean temperatures in the tropical zone (between the western Pacific and the eastern Indian Ocean) led to increased #snowfall in #Antarctica and, consequently, an increase in the mass of the #ice sheet. Although temporary, this reversal of the trend appears to be recurring ... sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    “At the Canadian Water Resources Association National Conference in Winnipeg, colleagues shared insights from Canada's Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program. This initiative has seen over 400 flood mapping projects and more than 1,000 flood hazard maps produced, supported by a substantial investment of $164.2 million from 2024 to 2028.
    Two key datasets:
    • The Canada Flood Map Inventory, which records the locations of flood hazard maps and provides information on how to access them.
    • The national Flood Susceptibility Index, a machine-learning assessment of flood-prone areas, including regions that have not been mapped in detail.
    When these two layers are combined on a single screen, it becomes clear where future mapping efforts should be directed — specifically, areas with high susceptibility that currently lack detailed maps…”

  4. Biggest storm since 2011 has San Diego County in ‘crosshairs’: “The San Diego River watershed will receive about 300,000 acre feet of water, enough to serve about 500,000 homes for a year if there was a way to capture it all, said Marty Ralph, director of UC San Diego’s Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes.”
