New paper from our group in @globalchangebio.bsky.social! We show regional emergence of water-related browning in a greening world. This is based on multiple water-related variables, and consistent gridded data covering 1982-2021. Read more: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In this blog post, the @nh.egu.eu shares a #recap about a short course held during the #EGU25: “Best Practices for Early Career Researcher (ECR) Engagement and Empowerment in Research Projects”, designed and led by Early Career Researchers (ECRs). 👀 Continue reading here: egu.eu/2G5NWS

Really enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to this very interesting manuscript! 🌳☀️☁️ If you're working on heatwaves through the land surface or atmospheric lens, I highly recommend giving it a read! Lots of great insights on importance of drivers regionally and at different timescales.

Happening NOW! Come check out Sinikka Paulus' poster "Assessing the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Soil Water Vapor Adsorption Using a Global Observation Network" 💧🌍 @egu.eu #EGU25

⭐ REMINDER TODAY ⭐ Looking forward to seeing many of you later today at the short course! #EGU25 @egu.eu

Good Wednesday Morning #EGU25! First up, Rene Orth will be presenting their work with Hao Huang on water balance consistency across datasets💧🌱 This afternoon check out @kdepolt.bsky.social convening the short course on ECR engagement and empowerment in research projects 📖💬 @egu.eu @hs.egu.eu

Great @riskkan.bsky.social symposium and working group kick-off at @iiasa.ac.at yesterday. In case you are at @egu.eu feel free to reach out to me or @marleenderuiter.bsky.social to learn more and get involved. @futureearth.bsky.social @wcrpclimate.bsky.social @lamont.columbia.edu

We are looking forward to Day 2 of #EGU25 with posters in the @egubg.bsky.social session "Impacts of climatic extremes on plants and ecosystems across scales" 🌳☀️💧 👇Check out the schedule below👇 @chunhuizhan.bsky.social @piamueller.bsky.social

At #EGU25 and interested in how seasonal vegetation cycles in Europe shift spatially over time? 🌍🌲🌳 Come check out Juliane Brügelmann's poster this afternoon (16:15-18:00) in Hall X5 spot X5.182 @egu.eu

#TrainToEGU today! 🚆 Beautiful views and beautiful weather through the Austrian countryside 🐄🌤️ #EGU25 @egu.eu

#EGU25 is almost here! Check out the talks from my research and myself below! 📅📚 Wednesday: Convening a short course on ECR empowerment in projects 📅💬 Friday: Assisting @philipward.bsky.social with the poster on the #MYRIADEU multi-hazard risk dynamics database Interested? Stop by or reach out!

Interested in exchanging ideas, gaining insights, and exploring best practices for engaging and empowering Early Career Researchers? Join us for our short course, "Best Practices for ECR Engagement and Empowerment in Research Projects," on Wednesday, April 30, at 16:15 (CEST) at #EGU25. @egu.eu

@taiscarvalho.bsky.social is mapping national & subnational drought plans 🌍💧—and we need your help! If you know of official drought plans (especially in non-English-speaking countries), please share them here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Your expertise can help ensure no region is overlooked!

We are excited to share the successful defence of Metin Ilke Özcan’s Master's thesis, titled 'Quantifying Impact-Relevant Timescales of Droughts on Vegetation.' The research explores the importance of selecting appropriate timescales and definitions when assessing drought impacts. 🌳🌲

A sunny☀️ day like today in Jena seems the perfect opportunity to take off into the #bluesky! Hi👋! We are the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, a research Institute based in Germany studying the #EarthSystem🌍, how it is affected & responds to global changes in #climate 🌡️& the #environment 🏞️.

Big announcement: One of my research groups has just moved over to BlueSky 🦋 If your interested in land-atmosphere coupling 🌱, extreme weather events ☀️, earth system modeling 🌍, or forecasts and projections 🌡️ be sure to follow to receive our updates!

fear of missing out (FOMO) at EGU conferences? In a new pre-print with @taiscarvalho.bsky.social @mdebrito.bsky.social we show that: this FOMO is reasonable; but we can provide help with text-mining: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

Looking back at an incredible experience had at my first #AGU conference, full of reunions and new connections. Also a big thank you to all who stopped by my poster and contributed to the over 4 hours of rewarding discussions! #AGU2024 @agugeohealth.bsky.social @agu.org @mpi-bgc.bsky.social

Enjoyed an insightful visit with the Sebastian Lab at UNC ahead of #AGU2024! Excited for the chance to reconnect and can’t wait to continue exchanging ideas with both new and familiar connections over next week as well. See you all there!
