I'm proud to share the first paper on co-creating water knowledge from our #IAHS #cocreatingwaterknowledge group! We're centering diverse knowledges in hydrology—a return to my ethnobotany roots. It's not always easy, but sparks creative ways of thinking about water. doi.org/10.1080/0262...
Co-creating water knowledge: a community perspective
Navigating the complexities of global and local water resources challenges requires collaboration and mutual learning among diverse knowledge systems and disciplines. However, Western philosophical...

🚨 New paper alert!🧵
Our paper in @SpringerNature shows how irrigator-driven conservation efforts in Kansas cut aquifer depletion by 65% while maintaining agricultural productivity.
Discover how this model can shape global aquifer sustainability.

I love this! Games are awesome and fun way to break the hiererachies of knowledge and get everyone into any type of discussion from climate change, awareness and preparedness, to zombies and intergallatic space travels with cats. @floodskinner.games maybe we should send some of our games to Simon 😁
Great video by Simon Clark (@simonoxfphys) about Daybreak - a board game about climate change and action (co-designed by Games for Geoscience 24 keynote Matteo Menapace (@baddeo)). Features a superb cameo from Sam Illingworth (@samillingworth)!
