ROBIN: Tracking Climate Change Through the World’s Most Natural Rivers

ROBIN: Tracking Climate Change Through the World’s Most Natural Rivers

Hydrological change is one of the clearest signals of climate variability and human impact on the environment. Yet detecting these changes reliably requires robust, long-term data from river basins that are as close to “natural” as possible, with little influence from dams, abstractions, land use change or any other human influences. That’s where the ROBIN project comes in.  ROBIN, or the Referenc ...[Read More]

When August Brought Snow: Unseasonal Snowfall Disrupts Life in Ladakh’s High Valley Village

August in Ladakh is a time of golden fields and harvest songs, not snowstorms. Yet in 2025, this rhythm broke. Panikhar village in Ladakh woke beneath fifteen centimetres of snow, an unseasonal blanket that changed the functioning of the valley and stunned its people. What began as a glaciological field trip turned into a firsthand encounter with climate uncertainty. This blog captures those extra ...[Read More]

Beyond Tectonics (and Beyond Earth): On the geological timescales of other rocky bodies in our solar system

Geological timescales Unless you regularly work in “deep” time or are very interested in Earth’s very ancient history you might not be too familiar with Earth’s geological timescale. What I am referring to is this:     From the very beginning of Earth’s formation ~4.5 billion years ago to today each period is defined and catalogued by events that occurred wi ...[Read More]

Making earthquakes understandable: How “Near Me” search behavior can guide better risk communication

Making earthquakes understandable: How “Near Me” search behavior can guide better risk communication

When a tremor shakes the ground, the first thing many people do isn’t check a scientific database: they reach for their phone. Within seconds, searches like “earthquake near me” surge across Google. This simple phrase captures something profound: a universal need not to understand seismic mechanics, but to know “Am I safe?” Over the past few years, this “near me” framing has quietly reshaped how t ...[Read More]
