Groundwater is vital to Bangladesh’s economy and its water and food security. Yet, it remains underrepresented in classrooms and government priorities. In my @NewAgeBD op-ed, I highlight the marginalisation of groundwater. newagebd.net/post/opinion/2… #Bangladesh #groundwater

"The global climate crisis is a water crisis" Dr Mohammad Shamsudduha @EarthShams hydrogeologist “Although water salinity in SW Bangladesh is highly seasonal & varies substantially between wet & dry seasons, in recent times, there has been rising salinity" theguardian.com/global-develop…

@aditimukherji @CGIAR @ri_montu Yes, heatwaves are becoming more frequent and long-lasting, but we have to be absolutely clear and sure about the impacts on the health of humans and animals.

We don't talk enough, or do enough research on impacts of heat waves on agriculture and on farmers and livestock. This is an under-ressarched field and the @CGIAR and others needs to do more. Great article by @ri_montu

Happy to share a review paper that I co-authored has just been published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment. Thanks to my dear colleague, Prof Abhijit Mukherjee from IIT Kharagpur, India and other co-authors for their efforts. nature.com/articles/s4301…

@UCLIRDR @hea_ Thank you everyone for your congratulations!

Congratulations to Dr Mohammad Shamsudduha on becoming a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Authority! This recognises Dr Shamsudduha's positive #leadership and influence on the practices of others who #teach and support high-quality #learning. @EarthShams @hea_

Very excited to share a Nature article published today reporting the status of groundwater levels at global scale from monitoring data. Groundwater levels are mostly declining but there are also signs of recovery in some places. nature.com/articles/s4158… #Groundwater #global #ucl

Groundwater levels are declining in numerous aquifers around the world, but it can be reversed in some cases, finds a new study involving Dr Mohammad Shamsudduha @EarthShams @UCLIRDR @uclmaps and Prof Richard Taylor @UCLgeography @UCLSocHistSci ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jan/…

@aditimukherji Totally agree, Aditi. Look forward to working with you on AR7.

@EarthShams Also too much theoretical focus on maladaptation has paralysed adaptation finance. Indeed, we need more rigorous empirical evidence on what is or is not maladaptation.

Great to know that #AR7 will look at adaptation indicators and metrics. I always thought that the dominant discourse among academia based scholars that #adaptation effectiveness cannot/must not be measured has done great harm to the field as well as those who need to adapt most.

@ekh_sci @BritGeoSurvey Is this Andrew? Looks great!

One of my highlights of the festival this year was discussion on opportunities & risks from AI. When Bing AI was asked to draw a 'picture of a British geologist in the style of Picasso' the result was a remarkable likeness to my colleague in the groundwater team! 😅 #gethimapipe

@WaterBier @Hydrology_AGU @theAGU Many congratulations Marc!

I am delighted to share that I have been appointed as a member of the Scientific Advisory Group at icddr,b (International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh) – a world’s leading global health research institute based in Bangladesh. icddrb.org/about-us/leade…

This year's @uclmaps Faculty #Education Awards recognise #IRDR colleagues @MhariGordon and Dr @EarthShams for "Individual Excellence", Dr Lisa Danquah and Dr @yuliaioffe who were "Highly Commended" and the Assessment UCL Team awarded for "Team Excellence". Well done all! 🎉

@aditimukherji @ILRI Wishing you a good start in Nairobi. Love to visit you someday soon. Best, Shams
