You didn't know? NUCLEARWATERS.eu is an @ERC_Research project based at @KTHuniversity that aims to put water at the centre of nuclear energy history. Happy to work with Kati Lindström, Anna Storm, @KhandozhkoRoman, @Siegfriedevens, @AKluppelberg and Alicia Gutting.

Sometimes you have to do something different from what you usually do. And if you are an historian of technology, sometimes you need to write about things other than technology. So I decided to write a few essays about beaches. @BarbicanPress1

If you are in Stockholm on Monday 17 June, join us for a special seminar with Prof. David Edgerton @DEHEdgerton on how to write global history of technology. We start at 13.15 hrs and will be at KTH at the address Teknikringen 74D.
Very inspiring workshop today at the Central European University in Vienna on "Reluctant Decarbonization and Militant Petrostates". Thanks to @Sasha_Etkind @OHPA_CEU for the invitation and organization!
Three exceptional PhD theses resulting from our NUCLEAR WATERS project, written by my brilliant doctoral students @AKluppelberg @Siegfriedevens and most recently Alicia Gutting. They are available online.

Sur ces projections (BRGM je pense), la centrale #nucléaire de Gravelines (carte 1) est "hors d’eau" mais située dans une zone largement "inondée". Évidemment cette modélisation ne prend pas en compte des aménagements futurs sur ce territoire mais ça me pose question...
Dans le cas d'un réchauffement climatique modéré (RCP4.5), la France se verra amputée de plusieurs centaines de milliers de terres agricoles (salinisation et remontée du niveau de la mer).
La plaine maritime de Flandres, le marais poitevin, el marais breton et la Camargue sont particulièrement vulnérables et visées. La mer risque d'emporter avec elle des zones écologiques remarquables et des productions agricoles reconnues : sel de Guérande, riz et taureau de Camargue, huîtres vendéennes ou de Thau, vin de sable héraultais etc.

”Sverige var förbluffande tidigt ute med att bygga kärnkraftverk.” På Tekniska museet kan man utforska historien om den första kommersiella reaktorn i Sverige, Ågesta.

Nearly 2 years ago, @PerHogselius' article on Central Asia's "hidden integration" was published.
The article remains one of the journal's most highly cited pieces, challenging interpretations of #CentralAsia as a geographical entity.

Good to be back at the Institute for the History of Natural Science in Beijing, where I spent a very happy year as a guest researcher in 2013-2014. Will be giving a few lectures on diverse topics.
Good to be back in Beijing after over 5 years! Renmin University's International Summer School is back in physical format. Happy to have 40+ brilliant Chinese students in my course on natural resources in world history. Less comfortable: +40 degrees centigrade in the air...
Uttalar mig lite grann om Sverige som innovationsland i dagens Vetenskapsradion På djupet.
