The @genomestandards consortium refers to over a dozen ontologies in the MIxS standard for biosample metadata, including @envoTweets for environmental context and @uberanat for body sites github.com/EnvironmentOntolo…
ENVO is part of the #ontology & #semantics stack behind @OceanPractices
These workshops help us understand the values and needs of the #ocean community, & create ontology content to support them for a #FAIR #digitalecosystem
Announcing the 5th @OceanPractices Community #Workshop (Sept 20-24). Pre-register & contribute at: workshop5.oceanbestpractices…
All #ocean enthusiasts can contribute & shape the future of #bestpractices in #science #culture & #sustainabledevelopment, for the #OceanDecade and beyond!
The #PolarVortex collapse is imminent, driving cold #winter #weather in the North

Did you know that snails live in the Arctic ocean? But we don't know how fast the fastest polar snail is, so you might need to pack your diving gear & race them on the seabed to find out! On land, expedition members have been known to race one other on foot & skis. #SPRIsummer

#meteors #meteorites and #meteroids what's the difference? And how are #clouds and #rainbows also meteors? #PerseidsMeteorShower

The peak of the #PerseidsMeteorShower (aka one of the best meteor showers of the year!) will peak tonight until the 13th of August, offering you a change to see dozens of very fast and bright meteors.

The #DeepSea is home to some of the most unique animals on the planet, including a huge range of #sharks. Here’s a roundup of some of our favourites this #SharkWeek! #DefendTheDeep #DeepTrouble

Antarctica's floating ice shelves have lost ~4,000 gigatons of ice in the last 25 years - enough meltwater to almost fill the Grand Canyon. New research from @sioglaciology, @NASAGoddard researchers & others showed the impact of warmer ocean waters.

What are all the molecular parts of #SARSCoV2? Getting the answer out of existing databases is harder than you might think. I wrote an article on our work curating a canonical list of proteins for our COVID-19 #KnowledgeGraph douroucouli.wordpress.com/20… 1/n

The northern state of Punjab produces much of India’s rice and wheat. In the past 70 years, farmers have depleted the groundwater at a pace that will soon dry out the state.

#NatureBasedSolutions 🌱 like restoring wetlands & mangroves 🌳 can help us adapt to #climatechange - but action is lagging behind ambition.
New #OECD paper lays the groundwork for tackling this challenge.

ALT OECD Environment Policy Paper No. 21: Nature-based solutions for adapting to water-related climate risks Healthy ecosystems, and their associated services, can provide effective natural protection against water-related climate risks. Nature-based solutions (NbS) have recently gained momentum in international policy discussions due to their potential to foster synergies between ecosystem health and human wellbeing, while also offering economic benefits. This paper provides an overview of the use of NbS to date in OECD countries and finds that in most cases ambition for NbS does not match practice. Focusing on the application of NbS for addressing climate-related flood and drought risks, this paper explores why prevailing decision making frameworks may fail to adequately consider NbS. It sets out a policy evaluation framework that supports the identification of, and proposed ways to address constraints on the use of NbS to address water-related climate risks.

Keep an eye on the #semantics of #naturalDisasters as new understandings emerge
This report highlights a clear need to make the term 'natural disaster' redundant and replace it with an understanding that natural hazards lead to tragedy because of governance failures in areas like land use and building codes

Success!
Congratulations to our @ESA_EO colleagues for precisely maneuvering the orbit of @ESA_cryosat 🛰️ to be in sync with our #ICESat2 🛰️
Radar + lidar = more insights into the Arctic!
.@esaoperations just confirmed that the last #CRYO2ICE manoeuvre was successfully executed and #CryoSat is in perfect shape!🎉 This means CryoSat is now officially in sync with @NASA_ICE's #ICESat2. We can't wait until we can share the first results with you🛰️🧊🛰️

Shocking. #conservation is having little impact, #watermanagement is not listening, regulation is silent or sidestepped #ProtectWater
BREAKING the new #LPImigratoryfish report finds globally monitored migratory freshwater fish populations have declined by a staggering 76% since 1970! In Europe populations have declined by a whopping 93% 😟
