How Switzerland cleaned up its rivers and lakes. This success story is encouraging when we address the next step: improving river morphology and riparian vegetation in a warming world.

From sewage and scum to swimming in ‘blue gold’: how Switzerland transformed its rivers
In the 1960s, the Swiss had some of the dirtiest water in Europe. Now, their cities boast pristine rivers and lakes – and other countries are looking to follow their lead

🌍 Can we map #TreeMortality with #AI & #remotesensing?
🔵 Check the #DeadTrees.Earth — a global initiative led by Clemens Mosig to track and analyze tree mortality from aerial and satellite data.
🔬Looking forward to Teja Kattenborn's talk at the ML Symposium in Zurich!

New paper in @science.org !
Where and when did the #multiyear-droughts occur around the world? Have they become more prevailing? We identified over 10,000 such events and found that they have been increasingly occupying the terrestrial land. (1/6)
