Absolutely delighted to see this brilliant new river hydrography, GRIT, published as a key output from our NERC funded EVOFLOOD project
River datasets often miss forks and branches found in highly populated floodplains and deltas. As flooding grows more severe, accurate mapping of these areas is more important than ever.

New Global River Map Is the First to Include River Bifurcations and Canals - Eos
GRIT provides a much more detailed look at how rivers merge and split, which could enhance hydrological modeling, flood forecasting, and water management efforts.

When Earth's temperature breaches +1.5/+2C depends on our emission choices and on the T during the pre-industrial era. Due to changes in the way we have measured ocean T through time (tinyurl.com/3trsfbrj) pre-industrial T is uncertain. Palaeoclimate offers a way to reduce this uncertainty (1/2) 🧪⚒️🌊
