i've said it before and unfortunately will again:
sea level rise won't be like filling a bathtub...
it will be (and now, IS) a violent, cataclysmic displacement of unfathomable volumes of water -

Global conflict especially led by Putin, Netanyahu and Trump are causing yet more pollution and aiding global warming.
Stop the insane leaders denying us a healthy livable planet.

@waimeafalls Yes -.- ... but unfortunately, if #AMOC stops it will not just simply be colder, it will mean more extreme weather in #Europe : hotter and dryer summers and colder winters, more very quick extreme changes. (And yes, poor GB and Nordic Countries will definitely get hit with -7°C colder weather 🥶 ) Oh, and almost forgot those pretty "little" storms of course, to even out the temp. differences 🌀 🌪️😭

Busy Beavers - The Turbidity Signature Of Ecosystem Engineers At Work

https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.70661 <-- shared paper

H/T @alan Puttock
“Beavers are the quintessential ecosystem engineers. In slow-flowing streams, they create complex wetlands with ponds by building dams and canals that can positively impact biodiversity, hydrology and water quality. These activities can interchangeably capture or release sediment along the watercourse. To date this has not been quantified at the resolution of rainfall events or beaver activity. This study used 15-min frequency, sustained monitoring upstream and downstream of a newly establishing beaver wetland to measure episodic changes in water turbidity at an event resolution. Monitoring showed no significant differences between upstream and downstream turbidity over 160 days when the first pair of beavers, known not to be building dams or canals, were resident. Shortly after introduction of another beaver pair, however, dam building, burrows and canal excavations were quickly observed, resulting in the creation of a complex beaver wetland between 2021 and 2024. Monitoring over 375 days during this period showed significant differences. Downstream turbidity was significantly higher overall than upstream: 13.1 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) compared to 4.2 NTU. Stochastic spikes in downstream turbidity during the study period not recorded upstream were associated with dam building and burrowing. Overall, there was no significant difference in turbidity loads, which was at least partially explained by a reduction in discharge downstream, particularly in higher flows, during the dam building period. This demonstrates a complex system with the trapping of influent sediment, the storing of water and the periodic release of beaver wetland sediment leading to net balance in loads. These results help provide context for other studies which have used temporally discrete sampling campaigns rather than continuous high-frequency monitoring. They provide a unique insight into the downstream impacts of a rapidly developing beaver wetland over its first three and a half years in a landscape that hasn't had beavers for over 400 years…"

France and Spain continue to battle fires as new heatwave looms
Authorities warned the return of scorching temperatures this week could fuel the continent's worst fires in living memory, with a massive blaze still threatening Bordeaux even as firefighters began gaining ground elsewhere.
