Are you an academic concerned that #Elsevier's profiteering publishing practices are extracting money and labor from you and your colleagues for free? Are you terrified that Elsevier's support for #FossilFuels is helping accelerate #ClimateBreakdown?

Don't fret! The #StopElsevier campaign has got you covered, with a wealth of resources to help take power away from them via collective action.

A friend sent me this article on the #TurkeyEarthquake knowing of my #envhist research on #earthquakes. I got all excited by the title but what a bad piece…

All about geology, not a word on building codes, the war, infrastructural neglect, and other factors that are decades in the making and might explain the #disaster. The author should attend my course on #disasters! 😂

Great Salt Lake on track to disappear in five years, scientists warn

Unsustainable water use is pushing the lake toward collapse, researchers say, imperiling ecosystems and exposing millions of people to toxic dust from the dry lakebed.

As Dutch drinking water companies warned about the dire quality of river water and the adverse effects of climate change in 2022, Daan Sanders and I took a dive in their archives.

The result is the article now published: '"The Rhine as One River": Rhine Pollution and Multilevel Governance, 1950s to 1970s'.

We underline the importance of the post-war decades for understanding the major changes that took place in the 1970s.

Right my #river #PlaceNames #Histodon friends. This is where it starts to get interesting. First up a graph showing the date of first attestation of 'on/upon-river' names by half century. I've seen this #Medieval pattern before when I worked on manorial affixes; but that lacked the number of #EarlyModern coinages evident here.
