Hey Alpha, I’m a big fan of your work and this review is another great post. I know you have also worked on restoration projects, and I’m thinking a review like this or something about your restoration experience would make a great contribution to this special Research Frontiers issue on “Rehydrating Planet Earth”:
I am finding the missing pieces of the puzzle. I had heard about this Amazon effect several years ago.
How the trees evaporation generated a suction of air from the Atlantic. I didnt have the name of Rong Fu, bless her and many others like Dr Milan Milan
This finding of the effect of moisture and evaporation of the tress in the amazon was what made me start to study and observe what was going on in Santiago de Chile.
Until I found the work of Milan written by Rob Lewis and worked on the last articule.
Hopefuly all this ideas, studies and scientific divulgation you are doing will condense as a cloud and we will start having rain again to re -green the world.
great, cool to see Rob's article about your work and whats happening in Chile... Glad to get out the word about Rong Fu, I don't think too many people know about her yet in the ecorestoration world. Help spread the word about her....
Personnally, I think that research is not about what you have found anymore. It is more about working on trendy subjects or knowing people. It has become the reflection of everyday life reality and superficiality. This year I am struggling to publish interesting assessment work but, for the first time, no journal accepts even to make it go to the review stage. It happened to 3 articles, first time in my long career. Did you notice that lately even Google do not give you the result it once gave, but more commercially interesting results ? Yours are refreshing articles. Congratulation !
I am presently working on air pollution origin (PM) in some cities, improvement of cement factories (for their air pollution, energy saving and by-product recycling) and also meteorological extreme events. But my two great topics are water and climate.
This was beautiful. This read has definitely decided what I'm doing this weekend. Hopefully Rong Fu's work isn't too esoteric, I'm just getting back into the groove of reading academic articles.
Hi, Are you saying you are going to read Rong Fu's papers this weekend? Thats cool. There are some technical terms in there that you can google and then understand...... The hand drawn picture of the water cycle is by me..... You can see more of my handdrawn water pictures at instagram.com/climatewaterproject

Thank you, Alpha, for continuing to do the great work of weaving and simplifying the complex unfolding story of water!
Alyson, thanks, glad it helped make it clearer
Conor, thanks for this. Francina Dominguez, who is mentioned in my essay above, is an editor for the issue
Thanks again Alpha Lo!

Even do its not the Trend of these days!

Astonishing article, as usual ! Thank you !
Thanks. I am surprised Rong Fu is not more famous.

yeah unfortunately whats trending may not be what is really important. What is the research you are doing?
I am presently working on air pollution origin (PM) in some cities, improvement of cement factories (for their air pollution, energy saving and by-product recycling) and also meteorological extreme events. But my two great topics are water and climate.
Here is a news report suggesting that the primary reason for the ongoing drought in SoCal is the fact that the water drains to the ocean without being circulated for human use. https://abcnews.go.com/US/extreme-rain-pouring-southwest-us-fully-eliminated-regions/story?id=107423058
good to see abc news talking about this

Is that illustration of the water cycle yours?
