How did agricultural land use upstream of the Aral Sea change in the last three decades? Here is our new #openaccess paper in @IOPenvironment: “Post-Soviet changes in cropping practices in the irrigated drylands of the Aral Sea basin”: dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9… (1/n) 
The study area covers 650 000 km2 of drylands in #CentralAsia, covering #Uzbekistan, #Turkmenistan, and #Tajikistan and including the entire #AmuDarya and parts of the #SyrDarya basins. (2/n)
We computed seasonal spectral temporal metrics from the entire #Landsat archive (1987 to 2019) to produce annual maps of cropping practices using #GoogleEarthEngine #GEE. (3/n)
#Hydronomastics is the study of #hydronyms, the proper names of bodies of water.
It's a branch of #toponomastics, the study of #toponyms (the proper names of places), which in turn is a branch of #onomastics, the study of #orthonyms (proper names).

#Hydronym and #hydronomastics both derive from Ancient #Greek ὕδωρ / húdōr (water) + ὄνομα / ónoma (name).
#Hydronyms tend to outlast other #toponyms, even when new #languages and cultures displace earlier ones.
