    “[The authors:]
    • Developed a multi-stressor framework with 32 agriculture-relevant weather indices and integrated them into two composite metrics: Weather Stress Divergence and Weather Stress Similarity, capturing deviations from and spatial correspondence with historical weather stress patterns.
    • Using an agroecological-zone-specific weighted averaging framework, the framework minimized index redundancy while accounting for the regional importance of individual stressors.
    • Adapted the concept of climate velocity to an agricultural context to assess how current weather stress patterns differ from historical conditions and how their spatial correspondence is changing over time.
    KEY FINDINGS:
    🌾 More than 50% of CONUS cropland experienced increasing weather stress divergence.
    🌡️ Drought and extreme heat were the primary contributors to high divergence.
    📉 Current weather regimes are becoming increasingly dissimilar to historical patterns…”

  2. This is just a small part of our daily struggle: standing for hours in long lines—and for what? 🪣🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ Simply to get two buckets of water. 💧 This is the daily routine we have become accustomed to—not to mention that we have been completely without electricity for three years. 🔌🕯️ You can help by sharing this post or donating via the link.❤️

  4. Spectrum Local News: Proposed mega data center in Silicon Valley raises energy and environmental concerns. “The potential impact on electricity rates and who should pay for major grid upgrades are at the center of a California Public Utilities Commission review of an agreement between utility company PG&E and Google to connect a massive 250-megawatt data center in San Jose.”

    [not my usual fare, but fascinating - and not in a good way :/ … not trying to be trite, but hydrology / water resources are crucial across so many areas]
    H/T @GeoHealth Journal
    “🌵🧠 Drought can disrupt livelihoods, strain communities, increase financial stress, and deepen uncertainty. All of these are factors that may contribute to psychological distress.
    📊 Yet in the U.S., the relationship between drought and suicide mortality has remained understudied. This nationwide study examined drought and suicide deaths across the contiguous U.S. from 2000–2018.
    🌾 The study measured drought severity using the Evaporative Demand Drought Index and used suicide mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics.
    📈 Both firearm and non-firearm suicide mortality were positively associated with drought, especially under severe conditions.
    ⚠️ Severe drought was associated with higher suicide mortality across several subgroups, including older adults, women, and people living in non-metro areas, though subgroup findings were not statistically compared.
    🛡️ Climate-related hazards can affect health through social, economic, and psychological pathways, not only through physical exposure. Drought preparedness should include mental health supports, rural outreach, financial stress interventions, and suicide prevention resources tailored to communities facing prolonged environmental stress…”

  7. The universe may have been building almost from the start
    Explosions of some of universe’s first could have created isolated pockets rich enough in dust and elements like iron and carbon to form building blocks of , new simulation suggests. It produced enough rocky building material to potentially make several Earth-sized planets, and available in young stellar system could have made it to planet just a bit later

  8. are tiny bolts, and they’re corroding cars, study finds
    Finding reveals an overlooked way that water can damage surfaces.
    A new study led by a team at Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany, has shown that drops routinely arrive at a surface carrying an electrical charge large enough to punch through an insulating coating. Not scratch it. Not slowly dissolve it. Electrically blow a hole in it, the way a spark jumps a gap.

  9. 🏛️ TIL: Roman #aqueducts mostly relied on #gravity, but some routes had to cross #valleys or climb slopes.

    Engineers built inverted #siphons, using downhill pressure to push water back up through towers and into a receiving tank. Elsewhere they used #Archimedes screws, bucket wheels, and force pumps to lift #water.

  11. #Michigan has been known by several nicknames, but some variations of the phrase #Winter #Water #Wonderland has been around since at least the mid 1950's.

    At an ever increasing pace, they seem to be less valid slogans on the 'Winter' phase as we creep forward into a #ClimateChange event that soon enough won't be reminiscent of flowery words and pretty pictures.

    Today's #Weather - in mid-October - is no different than many days in June, July, or August, at 81 degrees Fahrenheit!
