On #WorldWetlandDay, wetlands buffer aquatic ecosystems from pesticide runoff, exceeding planetary boundaries. Toxic chemicals harm rivers and seas via rain, groundwater, and driftβ€”dilution won't fix it. Plants trap sediment; microbes degrade pollutants. Protect wetlands to save downstream ecology.

Another view of this impressive event which is not yet over - we are still above the M5 threshold over one hour in with multiple peaks over X-class. The largest flare was an X8.1 - one of the strongest flare intensities in 20 years and the strongest of this solar cycle.

This is a quite impressive model from NASA for the X1.9 CME, but it is a preliminary estimate which may be refined. The CME transit time is less than two days!

Impact may occur around 3 UT on Jan 20. I don't want to speculate on geomagnetic storm strength, but G2-G3 seems possible.
