[Flash floods? not TOO hard to conceptualise.
Flash drought? harder to 'get my head around', but H/T / presenter does an excellent job!]
"Not all droughts are the same. In some cases, drought rapidly intensifies at subseasonal to seasonal scales with significant impacts to agriculture and water resources along with the increased propensity for heatwaves and wildfires. Like all droughts, flash drought begins with a precipitation deficit. However, both evaporative demand and soil moisture are critical flash drought variables, and identifying and monitoring the desiccation of the terrestrial surface is key for determining flash drought development and associated impacts. While recent advances in knowledge and monitoring of flash drought have occurred, fundamental questions remain in the state of the science. What are the overall mechanistic relationships between atmospheric demand, evaporative stress, terrestrial desiccation, and precipitation that drive the progression of flash drought? Do regional characteristics of the environment impact the evolution of flash drought? What are the scales of predictability for flash drought? Finally, how will flash drought frequency and intensity evolve in a changing climate system"

"Flash drought intensifies rapidly due to changes in precipitation, temperature, wind, and radiation. These changes in the weather increase evapotranspiration and lower soil moisture. Flash droughts can cause extensive damage to agriculture, economies, and ecosystems if they are not predicted and discovered early..."

Remote Sensing, Real Impact - Technology-Driven Conservation At The Jane Goodall Institute

“Dr. Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research at Gombe National Park in Tanzania began in 1960, and transformed our understanding of chimpanzees and redefined the relationship between humans and animals. Dr. Goodall dedicated her life to conservation and community empowerment. Her recent passing marks the end of an extraordinary career in ethology and conservation science. Yet her legacy lives on powerfully through the Jane Goodall Institute [JGI] and the countless individuals and communities she inspired worldwide. Her pioneering work revealed that chimpanzees make and use tools, have complex social structures, and possess individual personalities; discoveries that fundamentally challenged our understanding of what it means to be human, for the better…
The institute's current work embodies Dr. Goodall's profound philosophy: that humanity can only reach its full potential "when our clever brains and our compassionate hearts are connected."
This principle guides every aspect of JGI's conservation science strategy, from analyzing satellite data to providing local communities with the tools they need to strengthen their environment. Dr. Goodall's vision that conservation must be rooted in compassion, scientific rigor, and respect for local communities continues to shape the institute's innovative approach to using technology for conservation action.
As time has gone on, geospatial technologies have become increasingly indispensable to this mission, enabling JGI to monitor forest health in real-time, map critical chimpanzee habitats and migration corridors, and measure the tangible impact of community-led conservation initiatives. But perhaps most importantly, these technologies help the communities understand that the lives of people, animals and their shared environment are all interconnected…”

Meereslandschaft mit Mühle (Seascape with Mill), Béla Spányi
I think I could have this on the wall for life, I can imagine being in this place and just spacing out for a while. Very peaceful. Makes me want to smoke a cigarette for some reason, maybe I still associate this kind of mental space with having a little break time.
We have this kind of overcast weather here today. ❤️

You can tell that we’re in #November. There has been thick #CloudCover all day, with #Rain coming down over significant periods of the day. It has been dark and dank and although sunset was only about ten minutes ago, it has been feeling like dusk for a couple of hours already. My #BikeLights got put to good use today as did my #Overtrousers. It’s also lucky that I have two on the front and two on the back since one ran out of power en route.

The family is off at some Yoga thing and it’s a day off tomorrow, so let’s relax at home with #stoutSunday
Cracking the good stuff, it’s #surlyBrewing Darkness 2023 Cloud Cover varietal. Boozy with a lasting spicy finish, coffee and vanilla are subtle and a bit hidden if you don’t #letItWarm
Will I share when they get home? Hmmmmmm…
