Good news: we can use satellites to find marine litter. The size of the ocean makes it difficult to monitor pollution, but our scientists discovered they can use Copernicus EU imagery to locate patches of floating trash. Read the news: europa.eu/!xxpPDd

🚨 New paper! Proof of concept for a new sensor to monitor marine litter from space🛰️👀 🌍An unprecedented view of the emissions and accumulation areas of marine litter by using satellites currently in orbit! -More info: marinelitterlab.eu -Paper: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share that monitoring ocean plastic from space is now real! Our study in Nature Communications shows satellites detect plastic pollution in MED. Rain play a key role! Ready for global use! 🌍🛰️ #OceanConservation #SatelliteTech Info: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… @ESA Copernicus EU

It has been a hardworking trip during six years, but we finally managed it: the first map ever of marine litter pollution from space for the entire Mediterranean Sea, thanks to #Sentinel2, published in Nature Communications More info: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Uncertainties in climate impact assessments are still crazy high – largely attributed to impact models, not climate models. In our new paper we quantify uncertainty sources and highlight the systematic funding gap between climate and impact communities nature.com/articles/s4301…

Άλλο ένα αρνητικό κλιματικό ρεκόρ έσπασε τον Ιούνιο που μας πέρασε η Μεσσαρά, μια ευαίσθητη - τόσο οικολογική όσο και αγροτική - περιοχή της Κρήτης. Η πίεση στους υδατικούς πόρους και στις καλλιέργειες είναι μεγάλη. Μία πολύ σύντομη στατισική ανάλυση εδώ: blog.agroinformatics.gr/allo-ena-arnit…

🚨 No one should be caught off guard by a flood. At World Meteorological Organization Stories on Water, I stressed that #flood warnings must be clear, personal & actionable to save lives. ⚠️ "Warnings must move beyond alerts to become actionable guidance." 🌊 Watch my 8-min talk: bit.ly/41eYtMl

Nature research paper: High temporal variability not trend dominates Mediterranean precipitation go.nature.com/41NEGme

The Power of Long-Term In Situ Observations. Our new Nature study using 23,000 precipitation stations finds no consistent decline in Mediterranean rainfall from 1871–2020, but rising temperatures intensify aridity.
