Yes me too! And it’s good that Met Office and @edhawkins.org will be involved — should make for an interesting project

I presented our latest research on groundwater recharge yesterday to the NSW government water planners for groundwater and coastal syatems. And then led tours to show the team our recharge monitoring sites at Harrie Wood Cave, Yarrangobilly.

The ocean has a strong influence on precipitation in Southwest Asia. The historical patterns of warm and cold that suppress rain in Tehran are shown on the left. The current pattern is shown on the right, aligning closely for maximum forcing of drought.

Read this interview with @peterthorne.bsky.social to understand how dire the situation is with respect to US science funding. The US has played an outsized role in Earth observations and global coordination, and even if other nations decide to step in, it would take at least a decade to recover.
