Excited to share that I received Early Career Grant from @InsideNatGeo for "Transboundary Governance of Sundarbans in India and Bangladesh" project where we'll be studying ecological and socio-politcl parameters while esp looking at shoreline chng #NatGeoExplorer @NUSgeog 1/n

@CameliaDewan WhatsApp seems to be working as I just received some texts... In case it helps...

@CameliaDewan I've just been using WhatsApp to check-in on my friends and awaiting responses as and when they come. Some ground reporting from Al Jazeera and BCC...

@UrbnMangrove_B @zshribz miss you both!!

Reemerging from a twitter hiatus to say I got to check in with one of my mangrrrls @zshribz on World Mangrove Day 💚 🩵 🤎 If you see a mangrove today, plz hug it🌱 #WorldMangroveDay #Mangroves #mangrovesareawesome

I appreciated reading this and having someone spell out the time needed to sit and think. I can't remember the last time. I spent a few days or hours thinking about a research question since my PhD. During my PhD, I thought I was wasting time if I spent too long to think, alas!

@CameliaDewan @ritodhi_c @Himalistan @MMehtta @calynndowler @rakasennn @AnnuJal It's true that the conflict is rising, but "climate crisis" can be a broad term to explain a localised process (such as human-wildlife conflict) affected by many local stressors, management factors, and pre-existing vulnerabilities.

@PriyamSinha Congratulations, well deserved!!

Some notifications make you feel thankful and thrilled :)

New paper 📝 and 1st PhD chapter by Meriadec Sillanpää! @NUSgeog Mangrove management practices, policies, and impacts in New Guinea With great colleagues from Indonesia 🇮🇩 and Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 @FridaSidik @DMurdiyarso @CIFOR_ICRAF_ID @radb06 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@BestKelsea @SaidurMRahman This might be of use to you/your students.

Bangladeshi colleagues- We will be offering a series of workshops next month in Barishal, Dhaka, and Khulna on "​Using Social and Environmental Data to Support Climate Migrants". More information can be found here! bemsworkshop.weebly.com

We are hiring; If you are interested in fieldwork-based #bluecarbon science and ready to explore the surreal blue carbon ecosystems in #SEAsia, come work with us and grow as a blue carbon scientist. Find details below; careers.nus.edu.sg/job-invite/254… #Mangroves #seagrasses #Cfluxes

Had a wonderful dinner with our research group, and they turned our lab logo into a cake 😂❤️ Thank you @radb06 @iram_naima, you rock! #mangrovesareawesome

How can people be protected from cyclones when the dykes on the southwest coast of Bangladesh look like this? We see this picture of weak embankments all along the coast for ages. But those who need to see, they do not see!

Much needed paper is out!

I presented my past and current work by connecting mangrove #community needs, #carbon estimation methods and national carbon policies that Bangladesh can utilize for #mangrove accounting This way I got to connect my PhD to post-doc work @BirdLife_News @InsideNatGeo @NUSCNCS

Cyclone, heatwaves and the monsoon in one frame. #CycloneRemal in the Bay of Bengal, heatwaves over India and Pakistan, and the southwest monsoon picking up its pace.

Community Dissemination Seminar with the locals facing the challenge of extreme shoreline loss. We co-learn that we need localized solutions in the Sundarbans, where the community is involved in the decision making process @InsideNatGeo #sundarban #coastalAdaptations #bangladesh

@ShamimA52783112 @SaidurMRahman @danfriess @milesklazar @InsideNatGeo @NUSgeog No, my second time. First time I visited in 2021 for my field work in the Sundarbans

@radb06 @SaidurMRahman @danfriess @milesklazar @InsideNatGeo @NUSgeog Thanks, I hope students learn a lot from you. Is it your first visit to KU?

I'm in Bangladesh to do community dissimilation of my PhD and Nat Geo grant on Coastal Adaptations in the Sundarbans Very excited to share my work with the Forestry Dept Khulna University. Thanks @SaidurMRahman for all your support @danfriess @milesklazar @InsideNatGeo @NUSgeog

Mangrove planting world records might look good on paper, but often do not work. Fantastic article from @james_kairo, Chief Scientist of @KmfriResearch nation.africa/kenya/health/n… Let’s have a world record for % survived, not number planted!

@CameliaDewan @AnnuJal @MMehtta Really looking forward to this

@SoumyaMarineWL @ril_foundation @UN @UNinIndia @LogicalIndians @Siba_TNIE @tanaya_p @SDGOdisha @PradeepJenaIAS @SRC_Odisha @CESOdishaGovt Great going, then. Since you have already taken the efforts, do you have any publicly available documentation of the plans and monitoring?

@radb06 @ril_foundation @UN @UNinIndia @LogicalIndians @Siba_TNIE @tanaya_p @SDGOdisha @PradeepJenaIAS @SRC_Odisha @CESOdishaGovt Rest assured, our priority is the long-term survival and resilience of these mangroves. Thank you for your concern. I will keep updating the move. 2/2

Working with #RelianceFoundation & Dolagovind Youth Club, fortifying climate resilience in #Erasama Block, scarred by 1999 super cyclone with 10K lives lost.🥺 Planted 35K+ mangrove Hypocotyls 🌿 in Balasore, 8K in Jagatsinghpur, Strengthening #Odisha coastline. @ril_foundation
