    “Looking for a ready-to-use FAIR dataset with groundwater levels, signatures, and meteorological drivers to test new models and analysis methods to learn from groundwater level data? Why not try [the authors’] new Swiss Groundwater Database with almost 1,000 piezometers in diverse climatological and hydrogeological settings within Switzerland? 💡
    💧 Long groundwater level time series with frequent measurements
    💧 Meteorological drivers included
    💧Unique dataset in terms of hydrogeological data in an alpine setting
    … [They] hope [that they] can develop the database in the future with other variables (i.e., groundwater temperature, spring discharge, etc.) and welcome additions and collaborations to make this happen. 🌊…”

    “Groundwater is a vital component of the global supply of freshwater, playing a critical role for human populations, agriculture, and ecosystems. Due to the complex interactions between groundwater, surface water, climate, and human activity, these systems are frequently studied using advanced data analysis and modeling techniques. The effectiveness of these methods is generally enhanced by the availability and quality of data. In Switzerland, the focus area of this study, groundwater data is fragmented and lacks a standardized nationwide compilation. Consequently, the process of conducting nationwide studies with substantial sample sizes is both resource-intensive and time-consuming. In this paper, [they] introduce the Swiss Groundwater Database, a comprehensive compilation of groundwater time series and associated metadata throughout Switzerland. The current database consists of groundwater level data from 985 monitoring wells, which were completed with additional static and time-varying variables. The environmental characteristics and climate indices were compiled and determined for each monitoring well. The database is designed to facilitate and support large-sample hydrological research related to groundwater in Switzerland and beyond…”

  7. If you're a #Nationwide bank customer / member in the UK you might want to have a look at this for our current voting options:

    Looks like the existing board doesn't want him to join and set the automatic vote to be against him.. suspicious maybe? 🤔

  9. A federal judge in California on Tues issued a #nationwide block against the #Trump admin’s policy of #arrests at #ImmigrationCourts….

    Last year, #ICE began detaining #immigrants in #courthouse hallways across the country, sometimes moments after pleading their cases. The move raised alarm among attorneys & advocates who said the practice was turning #immigration courts from places of #DueProcess into zones of fear & punishing people who were following the rules.

  11. Anybody else bank with Nationwide and been invited to vote for the new board members?

    I'm not sure what to make of James Sherwin-Smith.

    The existing board are strongly recommended voting against him.

    My first thought was that it reminds me of when the far right try to get someone onto the board of the National Trust.

    But I can't find any far right connections, and on the face of it he seems to be a well qualified candidate.

    Thoughts?

  12. The request came after a lower court on Friday temporarily restricted #abortion providers #nationwide from prescribing #AbortionMedication by telemedicine & sending them to patients by mail. That process is one of the main ways #women seeking abortions have obtained the #medication in recent years after #access was drastically restricted when #SCOTUS overturned #RoeVWade.

    A US appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked a federal rule allowing the #AbortionMedication #mifepristone to be dispensed through the #mail, significantly curtailing #access to the drug #nationwide, particularly in states that banned #abortion.

    A 3-judge panel of the ultra-#conservative #5thCircuit ruled ‌unanimously that #Louisiana was likely to prevail in its challenge to the 2023 rule adopted by President #Biden's admin.

  14. The MAGA era
    — and the three latest Trump appointees to the Court
    — has resulted in a new, gruesome project:
    ❌giving Trump whatever he wants.

    🔥This toxic combination of bigotry and fealty has created a Court that uses all its might to attack the less powerful
    while coddling those who already have it all — particularly Donald Trump.

    It’s a Court with a very clear vision of who matters and who needs protection.

    The majority opinion in "Trump v. CASA", the birthright citizenship case,
    was honestly inevitable,
    a culmination of all the ways in which the conservative justices have warped the Court in order to serve Trump.

    Indeed, the Court’s previous term will go down in infamy as the one in which they gave Trump permission to do whatever he wants
    by inventing sweeping #presidential #immunity.

    One year later, Trump needed his reliable pals on the Supreme Court to step in on the #birthright #citizenship case
    because four federal district courts and three federal appeals courts had enjoined him from implementing his executive order eliminating birthright citizenship.

    That shouldn’t be a surprise, or even remotely controversial.

    There’s simply no world where an executive order can undo the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship
    -- and since the order was so obviously unconstitutional, the lower courts issued universal, or #nationwide, #injunctions to block the policy.

    Those nationwide injunctions stopped Trump from stripping citizenship from babies,
    even in states that were eager to let him do so.

    Twenty conservative states filed an amicus brief urging the Court to let Trump’s executive order go into effect.

    But the conservatives on the Court couldn't face grappling with whether Trump’s executive order was unconstitutional.

    Indeed, they very much want you to know that the administration’s requests did not ask the Court to rule on the birthright citizenship issue at all. Heavens, no.

    This is just about whether lower courts can issue universal, or nationwide, injunctions.

    This is, to put it charitably,
    ⭐️a self-serving lie,
    a way for the conservatives to soothe themselves,
    to pretend they aren’t responsible for Trump turning the immense machinery of his immigration crackdown on literal babies.

    No, all they did was strip the lower courts of the ability to issue universal injunctions.

    Of course, once those injunctions are narrowed,
    the administration is free to proceed on its plans to deprive babies of citizenship anywhere the narrower injunctions don’t apply

  15. Interesting informed commentary on Trump v CASA. (Source withheld, and further paraphrased here, because it was posted privately but its key point bears repeating.)

    Much has been reported on this decision as supposedly greenlighting the effective end of
    #birthright #citizenship by blocking the #nationwide #injunctions and forcing each separate person harmed to individually sue. But critically, that's not actually what the decision said.

    Paraphrased and distilled, what the majority opinion said is that the birthright citizenship question is not ripe for SCOTUS review yet, but the nationwide injunctions are problematic
    because the lower courts failed to properly document exhaustive examination of possible lesser remedies and how they all fail to deliver complete relief. The Supreme Court therefore remanded the case back to the lower courts and gave them 30 days to complete that full documentation of examination, in order to rigorously show that a nationwide injunction is actually necessary. "This is the big gun; if you're going to use it, you need to meticulously dot every i and cross every t in your explanation of why you pulled it out, and you didn't."

    Of particular note, Amy Coney Barrett essentially said, "Look, we agree that this is
    absolutely necessary, but you need to document that properly and show your work. Come back when you've done that, and the Court will be on your side."

    The majority, however slim, on the Supreme Court are not opposed to the invocation of nationwide injunctions to protect birthright citizenship. What the Court objected to was
    failing to properly show the necessity of those nationwide injunctions. It's an important distinction.

  16. Ten years later, #ErinHawley, 44, is now at the center of one of the country’s most heated cultural battles about #BodilyAutonomy, #GenderRoles & #abortion. On Tues, for the first time since the overturning of #RoeVWade, #SCOTUS considered a case involving #nationwide limits on #abortion #access. And Ms. Hawley was the woman standing before the justices, arguing to sharply curtail access to the #AbortionPill.

The highly anticipated ruling puts on hold the #FDA’s approval of #mifepristone, …first cleared for use in the US in 2000. The ruling will not go into effect for 7 days to give the gov time to #appeal.
