New dataset alert! Check out our new 2km gridded daily projections of potential groundwater recharge from 1981 to 2080. Based on UKCP18 data, this dataset can inform decision-making and climate change research in the UK. Access for free doi.org/10.5285/b14839e5-03e… . #groundwater

I've written a blog post about why I'm on #strike today. It shows how the public sector pays £32k for a "software developer" where the private sector pays £35-70k. We struggle to recruit and retain staff and services are suffering.

A collaboration between @imperialcollege, @unibirmingham & BGS sets out how the world’s mountains play a fundamental role in providing fresh water to millions but as temperatures rise supply from these systems is likely become more variable.

Working in partnership with @UK_CEH we've improved projections for for rainfall, river flows & groundwater levels in the UK til 2080. This will enable stakeholders to better prepare for impacts of future climate change & water availability.

The eFLaG projections are launched!! Great to see these projections available following lots of hard work these last two years. Collab across @UK_CEH, @BGSGroundwater, @hrwallingford - thanks to this superb team (see author list below: paper available in @ESSD_journal)
The Enhanced Future Flows and Groundwater (eFLaG) dataset has been published by @UK_CEH @hrwallingford and @BritGeoSurvey. Water companies are working with the eFLaG team to explore how the dataset can be applied in practice ceh.ac.uk/hydrological-proje…
