Global threats require both international cooperation and individual actions. There's a lot we can learn about dealing with the #ClimateCrisis from our response to #COVID19, and vice versa: nyti.ms/2UGciAb

Thanks Wageningen U&R AEW for the thoughtful pick-me-up :)

MANTEL "MANTEL Pieces" series of post primary #educational videos are now live! Over the coming week we will share 1-2 episodes daily over twitter but If you can't wait to binge watch them all they are at our website mantel-itn.org/mantel-pieces

Today we will share episode 1 by @EleanorJennin11 Coordinator of MANTEL Eleanor Introduces the series on how extreme #climatic events impact our #lakes and #reservoirs #climatechange #education #scicomm tinyurl.com/ybwremsq

Ep 2&3 by Ana I Ayala Zamora and Harriet Wilson focus on impacts of #ClimateChange on #lakes. Ana introduces climate change and some effects on lake #ecosystems while Harriet gets crafty to explain lake physics and #stratification Ep2 youtu.be/LiMJxFUBOYQ Ep3 youtu.be/RAKmMwErI4U

Ep4&5 are about #bacteria & #methane produced in #lakes Alexa tells us the importance of bacteria in food webs Truls Hansson talks all things flatulence explaining how methane produced in lakes may contribute to #ClimateChange Ep4 tinyurl.com/alexaep4 Ep5 tinyurl.com/trulsep5

Ep6&7 Hares Khan makes a complex idea all about #lake #metabolism clearer, using a simple experiment @Nasimjnt gives an insight into the wonderful world of #phytoplankton in lakes, and how this is affected by wind stilling Ep6 youtu.be/GiPZok9T62g Ep7 youtu.be/86QSnCCwUiw

Ep8&9 @Thayne11M explains how #lakes can have a natural #resilience that helps #ecosystems to recover from #ClimateChange Jorrit Mesman explains how dynamic computer models can be used to help us study lakes. Ep8 tinyurl.com/y7kpbbf7 Ep9 tinyurl.com/yaekynl7

Ep10&11 @eliasmunthali helps us understand how #ClimateChange might affect #DrinkingWater supplies. Qing Zhan tells us about #lake restoration & the role of #phytoplankton in helping to return lakes to a good state. Ep10 youtu.be/Fwn0XZXKMG0 Ep11 youtu.be/Jae2kDRZtog

Our GLEON survey project on how to improve collaborations between #lake managers and scientists is now live! surveymonkey.com/r/Y65L395 We welcome lake manager insights on the role of science in management and experiences collaborating with scientists. Please RT.

We have release 2 new ep’s to our "MANTEL Pieces" series both by Julio Alegre Stelzer. Ep13 Julio discusses the role of #biodiversity in #lake #resilience. Ep14 tackles when lake resilience breaks down & #eutrophication can occur Ep13 tinyurl.com/julioepI3 Ep14 tinyurl.com/julioep14

Happy #WWWeek #AtHome! A pandemic can't stop science from progress and #BreakingSilos

How can we improve lake manager-scientist collaboration effectiveness? All manager experiences and recommendations are encouraged in this GLEON online survey study surveymonkey.com/r/Y65L395. 20 min and 25 questions to help inform intersectoral collabs! Pls RT

What is the role of science in lake management? And how are management plans developed? We need your help answering these research questions from a lake manager perspective via participation in our GLEON and MANTEL surveys. Please consider sharing your insights and RT

Interdisciplinary

On climate change, we often assume people are either believers or deniers. I don't like either label, because climate change is not a religion. Instead, I prefer the 6 categories identified by Yale Program on Climate Change Communication for the US. climatecommunication.yale.edu/about/projects…

New article alert! In here we reviewed literature on impacts of extreme drought on lentic ecosystems and we report that most studies are biased towards lake biodiversity, at the expense of ecosystem services! Enjoy the read. 7 years of doctoral research end here!😍
