Artist Giorgio Andreotta Calò is presenting his project "Lacuna" at the Ocean Space Center in Venice (Campo San Lorenzo).
He walked all around the Venetian Lagoon in order to understand the balance between Venice and its environmental surroundings. Is the Lagoon an extention of Venice? Or is it Venice that has to be considered as a small part of the Lagoon?

Discovering the biodiversity of the "barene" at Sant'Erasmo Island (Venetian Lagoon).
We discussed about local plants and animals, erosion processes, tidal events and the effects of the Mose dam on the ecosystem of the lagoon.
It's really interesting to discover how salicornia plants are responsible for the formation and preservation of the "barene".

Verona, Veneto, ItalyA very brilliant lecture (Water as a way of life (and death)) by Florike Egmond has just finished.
She talked about the peculiar geological system of The Netherlands and how the Dutch managed (and sometimes didn't manage) to live with it.
Congratulations for the work and for the clarity of exposition!over 3 years ago

Element abundances in Mississippi Mud. These are the numbers from an analysis of river mud I collected during the New Orleans workshop in November. I use a machine that measures the abundance of elements in bulk samples of soils and sediments and during some machine testing this week, I remembered I had this sample. The top figure is for trace elements in units of ppm (parts per million) and the lower one for major elements as % abundance. Major elements usually represent the dominant geology of a catchment (why not colour RWB, I thought) and trace elements the local geology (hence Choctaw flag colours). The size of the rectangles are proportional to the elements abundance. Sediment geochemistry, geopolitics and tribal entities are not very often combined. - ipgray

Reminders of sleeping giants; about mile 45. Is this log jam from an alluvial storm event upriver, or a surge event from down river? We’re entering the liminal zone, where things go either way.. - underhil

The flooded Mississippi River, June 2019. "The river crested at 45.9 feet on 8 June 2019 in St. Louis, Missouri, the second highest stage on record. The duration of flooding at Greenville, Mississippi, and Red River Landing and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, exceeded the records set by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927."

For some, living along the river signals privilege: freedom, respite, recreation. For others (especially further downriver), it represents precarity: risk, instability, toxicity. How do we make sense of these uneven geographies - and all of the shifting, contradictory gradients in between?
