“[R]esearch analysing over 500 rhino poaching incidents and exploring what these patterns reveal about the behaviours of poachers, rangers, and rhinos. [Their] study highlights concerning evidence of criminal syndicate infiltration, space–time targeting by poachers, and how behavioural insights can inform effective responses—from targeted dehorning to bolstering ranger resilience…”

We're really interested in how the #CriticalZone responds to disturbances like fire, flood, and drought.

This recent story from the USGS explores how science like ours helps risk managers prepare for those disturbances.

Eight times in 3½ hours a boat crashed into me while I was tied up along the shore.

I have just moved the boat forward, leap-frogging two boats.

And in the process I myself hit 2 boats — inevitable, unfortunately, but I was unwilling to continue being crashed into by people for whom the wind is somehow a surprise.

Six boats have crashed into me in the past 3 hours, scraping and bouncing all the way down the length of the boat. The wind is too strong for occasional- and hire-boaters but it doesn't stop them, so they get blown into me as they clear the trees.

I want to move but the strong wind also means I cannot move the boat. There are 2 boats immediately ahead of me and I could never clear them.

Who knew that tracking Aunt Flo could turn into a treasure trove for and a potential for women? 🎯🩸 Apparently, the University of Cambridge did—because nothing screams "scholarly pursuit" quite like stating the obvious. 📚🤦‍♂️
