  1. Lethal Humidity Exposes Billions to Life-Threatening Climate Risk

    Climate change is putting billions of lives at risk by combining rising temperatures with increasing atmospheric moisture, pushing dense population centres to the brink of physiological survivability. By the late 21st century, over half of humanity could face life-threatening conditions from extreme heat and…

  3. FORESTRY SLASH RISKS PERSIST POST-GABRIELLE AMID REGULATORY SHIFTS

    New forestry rules after Cyclone Gabrielle are questioned for not stopping slash risks on steep land. Who is affected and what happens next?

  4. New forestry regulations are being questioned for their effectiveness in managing debris after Cyclone Gabrielle, with concerns that large-scale clear-felling on vulnerable slopes may continue.

  5. Soil's Silent Guests: 'Emerging Contaminants' In Crops Spark Worry

    New study from 2005-2024 shows emerging contaminants in crops and soil. Find out what this means for your food and health.

  6. Thousands of studies describe Rayleigh–Taylor instability, and most hydrogeological models acknowledge its importance in contaminant transport.

    However, in studies of the Svystunova gully mine-water storage pond, I have not seen density explicitly accounted for — despite highly mineralized waters where this factor can fundamentally change plume behaviour.
    By calculating solution density within the contamination halo, I demonstrated a real risk of gravity-driven sinking of the contamination plume to the base of the aquifer. This finding adds a critical dimension to impact assessment and is now documented as a standalone section in my ongoing report.

    If you work with mine water, aquifers contamination, or long-term contamination modelling, this is a parameter worth revisiting.

  9. 🌊 Modeling a potential dam breach — and how panic spread beyond the real watershed

    This project assessed the potential consequences of a dam failure at a mine-water impoundment in the Svystunova Gully.

    🔹 Reconstructed the original pre-impoundment terrain from archival topographic maps.
    🔹 Used Sentinel-based land-cover classification to assign variable Manning’s roughness coefficients.
    🔹 Built a modern DEM including the dam structure and current flooded zone.
    🔹 Simulated dam-break flood dynamics in GRASS GIS — frame by frame.
    🔹 Produced a video visualization to help local communities understand real risks (and ignore fake ones).
    🔹 The results were later featured in regional media and used in discussions about mine-water safety.

    🎥 Watch the short video visualization:

  12. Excited to be able to share our latest paper, on the environmental risks of agrochemical inputs to oil palm plantations.

    We show the potential for significant risks, notably from metals and pesticides, but highlight a need for more data for a more comprehensive assessment.
