Just published in Nature Water: Associate Professor of Hydrology Ali Ameli and co-authors discovered that most rivers in the world don't respond to rainfall the same way twice. But BC's West Coast rivers are a global outlier! www.eoas.ubc.ca/news/1789582149 @ali-ameli.bsky.social

That’s a wrap on my 3rd year co-teaching @eoas.ubc.ca's Vancouver Summer Program! From 15 students in year 1 to 42 this year, from all over the world and varied programs, + developing a new Sustainability course — it’s been a great way to develop my teaching 🧑‍🏫🌎 Exhausting, but very rewarding.

“These early herders didn’t put all their eggs in one basket,” said geochemist Dr. Kendra Chritz of UBC’s Dept of Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences. Instead, they kept eating a wide mix of foods—fish, wild animals & plants—alongside livestock for at least 1,000 years. @eoas.ubc.ca bit.ly/4uqWaSG

Even after adopting cattle, early herders kept hunting and gathering
Eastern Africa’s earliest livestock herders continued fishing, hunting and gathering for centuries, which may have helped them adapt to a changing climate.
