Crowd-sourced glacier mapping as a tool for enhancing climate literacy and data generation
Citizen science approaches are increasingly used to support data generation and public engagement across the environmental sciences, yet their wider pedagogical value within physical geography remains underexamined. To explore the value of mapping-based citizen science for both glaciological investigation and geographical learning, we developed GlacierMap , an interactive online tool enabling participants to map glacier change in Peru’s Cordiller…
Streamflow droughts aggravated by human activities despite management
Human activities both aggravate and alleviate streamflow drought. Here we show that aggravation is dominant in contrasting cases around the world analysed with a consistent methodology. Our 28 cases included different combinations of human-water interactions. We found that water abstraction aggravated all drought characteristics, with increases of 20%–305% in total time in drought found across the case studies, and increases in total deficit of u…
GlacierMap
For many of us, when we think about glaciers, we might imagine cold, icy polar environments such\nas the Arctic or Antarctica and their associated characteristic fauna. However, the existence of\nglaciers is not limited to high latitudes, with numerous glaciers also found close to, or even within,\nthe Tropics, where elevation is high enough for snow and ice to persist year-round. Indeed, high\nmountain regions at lower latitudes, such as the Sou…
Water governance challenges in rural South Africa
Droughts have severe direct impacts on the livelihoods of rural populations. Thus, the management of water for communal agriculture and water supply should be well coordinated to enhance drought resilience. Notwithstanding the interrelations among water management institutions in South Africa, there are complexities in the way these institutions work together, both in preparation for, and during drought times. In this article, we examine the gove…
Anthropogenic activities alter drought termination
Despite the increasing influence of human activities on water resources in our current Anthropocene era, the impacts of these activities on the duration, rate and timing of the recovery of drought events, known as the drought termination phase, remain unknown. Here, we present the first assessment of how different human activities (i.e. water abstractions, reservoirs, water transfers) affect drought termination. Six case studies in Europe were us…
