In 2032, half of the world's population will face water scarcity... 2/3 of our world is covered with water. 97.5% of the water in the earth consists of salty water in the oceans. Most of the remaining 2.5% of fresh water is found in the poles (Antarctica, Greenland) as groundwater in glaciers and very deep geological layers. The fresh water resources we have access to are found in lakes, reservoirs, rivers and streams, which constitute 0.10% of the total freshwater potential of the globe. #World #Earth #Technology #Science #Water #Population #Information #Explore #Reels

New applications of radar tool could help reduce water scarcity GOTT has funded the British Antarctic Survey's new application of their radar tool to reduce water scarcity by locating and monitoring sources of groundwater. https://lnkd.in/dg2f37tj

Ecosystems such as forests, peatlands, and coastal wetlands all play a role in naturally storing high levels of carbon. Protecting these ecosystems is necessary in order to ensure the well-being of future generations. Learn more about biological carbon sequestration 👇 via U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)

Pocket food forest in urban scapes can become the most efficient nature based solution for biological carbon sequestration?

Carbon storage is an important benefit of habitat restoration along rivers and in the coastal plane, for example, where we are working on the Sheldrake & Mamaroneck rivers in the Long Island sound watershed.

PROTECT ECOSYSTEMS! Ecosystems play a role in naturally storing high levels of carbon.

This is an interesting read and adds to the known facts about AMOC slow down in the North Atlantic and much reduced bottom water formation in Antarctica. A 12% slowing of abyssal waters is consistent with a slowing of the whole global conveyor system. https://lnkd.in/eYgU_6eM #climatechange #oceans #amoc #circulation

Weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation abyssal limb in the North Atlantic - Nature Geoscience Mooring observations and hydrographic data suggest the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation abyssal limb has weakened over the past two decades in the North Atlantic, most likely due to reduced Antarctic Bottom Water formation rates. https://lnkd.in/dha9dwjd

Our World's Water Facts. - 97% of Earth's water is saltwater, found in oceans and seas, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). - About 2% of Earth's water is locked in glaciers, ice caps, and snow, primarily in Antarctica and Greenland, as per the USGS. - Only 1% of Earth's freshwater is readily accessible for human use, present in rivers, lakes, and groundwater, reports National Geographic.
