Where might climatic suitability for malaria transmission change in future? In our paper published today in Science, we use hydrological models from @ISIMIPImpacts to examine the effect of hydrology on malaria suitability changes in Africa.
Malaria will be on the move in a changing climate. Including processes such as rainfall and runoff in future forecasts paints a complex picture. eos.org/articles/malar…
Professors Mark Smith (@GeomorphMark) and Chris Thomas (@unilincoln) write about their new malaria model in @ConversationUK 🦟: theconversation.com/mapping-malari…

Mapping malaria in Africa: climate change study predicts where mosquitoes will breed in future
Mosquito populations can respond quickly to changing climate, which means the location of areas at risk of malaria might change.
Ahead of #AfricaDay, we highlight recent research projects in which our researchers have collaborated with African communities, scholars and practitioners to address local and global challenges: environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/5…
"Revolutionary model predicts malaria trends in Africa": @GeomorphMark's study, which used multiple models to understand and predict environmental malaria risk in Africa, was reported on by @EarthDotCom. Read more: earth.com/news/revolutio…
Climate models predict larger than expected decline in African malaria transmission areas, according to new research in Science. The study's approach offers a more nuanced view that could inform #malaria control efforts in a warming world. scim.ag/6Yn
How will climate change affect malaria? Groundbreaking new research by Dr Mark Smith highlights role of hydrology in a joint study with @unilincoln tinyurl.com/5n8nhmvt
How will changing patterns of malaria transmission interact with demographic change? Check out our new paper published in @ScienceMagazine! Led by @GeomorphMark et al. @SoGLeeds science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…
A recently published paper (doi.org/10.1038/s41598…) is getting some traction: we mapped vegetation changes as a result of ice loss on the Greenland Ice Sheet. I did the change analysis using GW binomial regression. theguardian.com/world/2024/feb… #rstats #rspatial
The medieval marketing of Erik the Red presenting Greenland as a lush fertile land is coming true. The Greening of Greenland since the late 1980s in response to a warming Arctic has serious connotations, both locally within Greenland and globally: nature.com/articles/s4159…
Greenland is greening! It's great to see this research published in @SciReports by Michael Grimes and Jonathan Carrivick. It brings back great fieldwork memories! nature.com/articles/s4159… @SoGLeeds
Some boreal peatlands are losing their characteristic pools – a concern for their unique ecosystems. @rbpmleeds and @uppsalauni researchers studied the long-term changes of the pools at Hammarmossen to understand why it's happening. Find out more: environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/5…
Our recent study in Ecosystems by PhD student @daniel_colson, examining rapidly shrinking pool area on a patterned boreal peatland, has been summarised on the @EnvLeeds news feed environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/5… @GeomorphMark @GGranath @DuncanQuincey @SoGLeeds @rbpmleeds
Pleased to announce our new #PeatPaper ⬇️ Six Decades of Changes in Pool Characteristics on a Concentric-Patterned Raised Bog (Colson et al., 2023) link.springer.com/article/10.100… Many thanks to my co-authors @peatbloke @GeomorphMark @DuncanQuincey Håkan Rydin and @GGranath
Great turnout for the @rbpmleeds @SoGLeeds cluster night out. I can't quite remember the final scores, but I'm pretty certain I won. Thanks for organising @SedsStringer
Family trip to Harewood House yesterday was surprising to say the least. Hats off to the volunteer who tried to point out the drapes to a Stormtrooper only to be met with heavy breathing through a mask.
Beyond pleased to share that our paper on how seasonal floods affect maternal health access on the Barotse Floodplain has now been published and is completely open access! This work was completed for my masters, and is my first first-author paper! ij-healthgeographics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
It was great to visit Ennerdale for some surveys as part of the @CASTOResearch project last week. Such a lovely river! I wish there were more like it in England
