In a European Union country, more than 160,000 people endure severe water shortages every summer. In Central and Northern Bulgaria, citizens often have access to running water for only a few hours a day during the hottest months—and the cause is not simply climate change.

The Mineriade remain an indelible stain on his legacy, as do the murky days of the Revolution. Still, it’s not far-fetched to say that today, Romania has lost the most significant political figure of its young democratic era.

Recently the 🇷🇴 presidential candidate V. Ponta declared that, as prime minister in 2014, he ordered to open floodgates at the Iron Gates Dam causing the massive flooding of 🇷🇴 villages in order to spare floods and damage in Belgrade. As a result, he was granted 🇷🇸 citizenship.

A 1985 🇷🇴 postcard of the Danube Delta. In the 1980s, the communist regime, in a desperate search for new sources of income, encouraged Western tourism in the Delta. Germans and Dutch visitors, in particular, loved the area, which was ideal for fishing and birdwatching. Source: arhivelelitoralului.ro

#Skystorians HELP NEEDED: Does anyone know geographers familiar with historical GIS who would be willing to have a short Zoom call with me? I need some clarifications on GIS technicalities before I finalise a proposal. Unfortunately, I don’t have much to offer besides my gratitude. I hope is enough

The colossal carving of Dacian King Decebalus on the Danube shore near the 🇷🇴 city of Orșova. This sculpture serves as a tribute to Dacian heritage, a central theme in a particular strain of Romanian nationalism that gained prominence during Ceaușescu’s era and remains influential today

Excited to join Bluesky! Currently I'm a postdoc fellow at the University of Trento and a M. Curie awardee (upcoming). My current research focuses on the history of the lower Danube and its management during the Cold War. Looking forward to discussing with colleagues and sharing research
