Had lots of fun making this viz for the #30DayChartChallenge and am so grateful for all the feedback and help from @USGS_DataSci ! Excited to keep working on streamflow estimation from satellites, especially with future SWOT data!
Replying to @USGS
@USGS is improving water monitoring by combining ground data with satellite data on water extent & elevation, which can be used together to estimate streamflow in rivers like the Tanana in AK 🛰💧 #Day29 | Monochrome | #30DayChartChallenge 📅 #rstats #DataViz by Merritt Harlan

ALT Animation of five satellite images of the Tanana River in Alaska. The imagery is colored in shades of blue to show the degree of confidence that water is present. Two scatter plots show positive pairwise relationships between satellite river elevation and satellite river width and satellite streamflow. A timeseries chart shows that satellite streamflow captures the dynamics of observed streamflow at a gaged site.

This paper addressed implications of #climate #change on #green and #blue #water of #Ethiopian rift valley #basin under the extreme #RCP 8.5 and moderate #RCP 4.5. Small change in rainfall projected to cause extremely decrease in blue water. link.springer.com/article/10…

Today is my 32nd birthday. Over the last month, I asked several 90-year-olds what advice they would give to their 32-year-old selves. Here's the life advice everyone needs to hear:

Less than 20 years ago, the world was headed for a >4C warmer world by 2100. The amount of change that would occur under that much warming, that fast, was almost unimaginable and certainly unsurvivable for human civilization a large percentage of the world's species. (thread)

Interesting study on impact of #Climatchange on wheat production in Ziway basin. Scientists find that it will be a warmer and drier condition for that part of #Ethiopia (which is different from the #Abbay Basin). mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/20/136… 1/2
