Scientists See More Vegetation In The Himalayas - But It Is Not Good News, Because That Extra “Green” Can Disrupt Water, Snow, And High-Mountain Biodiversity | Plants Growing Higher Across Himalaya As Climate Warms

“For years, the biggest climate warning from the Himalaya was easy to picture because glaciers were shrinking on the roof of Asia. Now, researchers are pointing to a quieter signal, one that can look almost harmless from a distance. The mountains are getting greener.
New research [link above] shows alpine vegetation moving higher across six Himalayan regions from 1999 to 2022, pushed in part by warming and reduced snow depth. That might sound like nature recovering, but in this fragile landscape, more plant cover at extreme heights may change how snow is stored, how water runs downhill, and how rivers behave for communities far below…”

Today’s little piece is on how to do some basic cube #plotting. For this, I use some samples from @ClaireRobin et. al. work on how to #forecast #vegetation #greenness at fine resolution over Africa. DeepCube H2020 #visualization @makie Code: https://github.com/lazarusA/LittlePieces

@pvonhellermannn don’t trust the #privateSector with optimising for the environment. They can maximally be expected to optimise for selling #greenness. We have to expect, the private sector will ignore all environmental implications they can get away with, i.e. externalise as much as possible within any #internalisation project. #EnvironmentalEconomics

#Greenwashing isn’t exactly new, and it’s found in many #industries .

While many #sports organisations make declarations about their #greenness , the most scrutinised are those with the highest profiles: #FIFA ’s World Cup and the #Olympics . On #examination , it seems that some of the #claims made by the organisers of recent and upcoming events are #questionable, at least.

Delighted to share our publication on capturing #EnvironmentalExposure. We proposed a new method for linking the #BuiltEnvironment and #Health #Longitudinal using #GIS!

https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph20031953

We measured #EnvironmentalExposure at the #IndividualLevel across various domains including #AirQuality, #RoadTraffic, #Greenness, #Greenspace, #PublicTransport, #FoodEnvrionment, #LandUse, #Walkability, #StreetCentrality/ #SpaceSyntax, #BuiltForm and #IndoorQualities.
