#kachchh
I took this picture in #Kachchh, #Gujarat in 2008, just when the wind turbines started dotting the landscape, some of them overlooking this pond from which women were collecting #water. Couldn't think of a better image than this to begin my talk with today.

Lockdown 35/40. The new normal? Kachchh was declared green zone yesterday, meaning no tested active corona positive cases in this district. Let it stay that way.

ISRO’s HOPE mission, inaugurated in Ladakh’s Tso Kar Valley, mimics Moon and Mars analog conditions to train astronauts.

Our new study on Gujarat’s Kachchh Matanomadh also explores analog sites.

Been keeping lockdown diary in Kachchh, Gujarat since the first one started on 25 March. Mostly random observations but also related to research on disaster recovery/cascades.
My #lockdownindia tweets 1/21. Walk at the farm to distance social media. Today is a cloudy & moist day here in South Kutch. Almost ripe wheat, so no rain please! Hoping to do some planting later today myself. #longtermrecovery #gujaratearthquake2001 @helsinkiuni @SocSciHelsinki

At least in Kachchh the vaccination and medicine kit is free of cost. Getting very confused of tweets claiming charges - is it for private hospitals?

Ever dreamed of diving into a hidden wilderness, bursting with life?

The students of Kachchh, India just lived that dream!

Morning phone call: Heavy rainstorms in Kachchh, and most of Gujarat districts. Older people do not remember anything like this after the 1979 Morbi dam collapse times.

India built wind turbines on the shore west of Mandvi in the 1980s, for example. And quite large wind farms in the Little Rann of Kachchh in the 2010s…

"They say that Kachchh was once a verdant and fertile landscape. That an earthquake pushed the holy River Saraswati underground, changing not only the course of the river but also the history of the region."

Spent some beautiful days last week walking, birding, and learning in one of the most precious landscapes, Kachchh. Possibly one of its kind in the whole world. Photos from a landscape which is being proposed for a so -called large scale ‘green’ energy project.
