Dr. Alexandre Santerne 🌍

Hello #FediScience, migrating from astrodon.social (about to close), I am joining you here (inspired by @wolfgangcramer), so it's time for a new #Introduction

I'm Alexandre Santerne (call me Alex), #astronomer working @LAM_Marseille & teaching at Aix-Marseille #University (France).

I'm expert in finding #NoPlanetB 😀 ( #planets around other #stars).

I want to work in a #fair, #inclusive, and #sustainable #research #environment, so I (try to) act accordingly. I'm a member of @labos1point5

I toot a lot about #Astronomy, #Astrophysics, #Space but also a lot about #ClimateChange and #Climate.

Since 2019, I completely boycott planes, and I travel by #train (long distance) and #bike (short distance) as much as I can.

My other interests include #photography (visit my Flickr gallery in my profile) #Astronomy#Space

Oh, in case you don't know where Aix-Marseille is (trick: in 🇫🇷 ), the image below (credit: #NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute) is indicating where I am, as seen from #Saturn...

... and where you also are, together with 8B people as part of 2M species 😀

This rare image taken on July 19, 2013, by NASA's Cassini spacecraft has shows Saturn's rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame. At the time, Cassini was 2013 from a distance of about 898.414 million miles (1.445858 billion kilometers) from Earth. It is only one footprint in a mosaic of 33 footprints covering the entire Saturn ring system (including Saturn itself) taken by Cassini's wide-angle camera.

There's so much evidence now - including from decades of organic farming and biological farming - that groundwater pollution is *not* a necessary precondition of increasing soil fertility. Because Bright concludes his column with this flaming lie, easily stamped out, it's tempting to do that.

*But* that would leave his more important claim, that;

"Removing dairy cows from the plains won't solve the nitrate problem."

... smeared all over our shoes. Because it's dog shit.

I'm not as qualified to debunk Dr John Bright's industry-friendly claims about intense dairying as someone like Dr Mike Joy. Here's a paper he and a group of his co-authors had published on the subject in 2022, in the Australasian Journal of Environmental Management;

"The extensive dairy farming in Canterbury is leading to significant pollution of the region’s groundwater, much of which is used for drinking water."
