We ask how changes to the legal definition of #WOTUS under the Clean Water Rule & Navigable Waters Protection Rule alter which wetlands are protected as a function of landscape position and size, taking New York as our case study (largest geographic analysis to date)
Methods for landscape analysis follow closely after existing studies, largely this one from @RileyKWalsh

Whenever there are floods, a faction of propagandists start propagating that #Dams are the only solution for #FloodsInPakista.
I don't possess expertise in civil engineering, but to some certainty I know dams can't mitigate #floods. Dams can only store naturally flowing waters.

Floodwaters can neither be stored in dams nor stopped. Stopping floodwaters is dangerous and multiplicate the destruction. Even, there are numerous instances when poorly built #dams collapsed due to floodwaters.
#Pakistan has the largest number of #glaciers in the world.
#FloodsInPakistan are due to #GlobalWarming coupled with poorly built infrastructure and urban planning.

‘Un-disciplinary’ – that’s how @g_kallis describes his research. With a background in chemistry, economics, and environmental policy, he now works on #degrowth and environmental justice at @UABBarcelona 
@LenaRethel joins us from @warwickuni She is Professor of International Political Economy and Director of the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation (CSGR) and her research has been grounded primarily in insights from the Southeast Asia region.
Joining us from @ELTE_UNI in Hungary is @Miklos_Antal. Originally trained in engineering-physics, he turned to economic and social aspects of environmental sustainability. To find out more, check out his @TEDx-Talk bit.ly/3wBEloB
