At Monte Verità, researchers from geology, biology & beyond explored how tectonics and geomorphology shape biodiversity. Highlighting a need for cross-disciplinary language to understand how the geo- & biospheres interact across space and time, the workshop built upon the goals of the TERRA Cluster.

The three winners of the #TERRA Poster Award at Pan-GLASS 2026 🏆 Nikolaus Papanikolaou (MPI Jena) María Perez (Geophysical Institute of Peru) Devosmita Sen (IISER Pune) Congrats to all three! Great days of exchange on land-atmosphere interactions in Stuttgart. #PanGLASS2026 #TERRAAward

Pan-GLASS 2026 has ended the way it started: by looking forward. Congratulations to all six ECR competition winners. The GLASS community needs YOU. Scan the QR to stay in the loop. Thanks to all who turned the 1st Pan-GLASS conference into something truly special: great science, better company. 🌍

#PanGLASS2026! Day 2 was all about building connections that will shape the future of land-atmosphere science with 2nd Poster session and interactive Townhalls, introducing GLASS Projects. 🤝 @wcrpclimate.bsky.social @unihohenheim.bsky.social

Day 1 of Pan-GLASS 2026 in Stuttgart! 🌍 Opening plenary, then four sessions packed with great science: Machine Learning for L-A interactions, soil-plant-atmosphere processes, turbulence & surface fluxes, and surface heterogeneity. Posters + icebreaker rounded off a great day. #PanGLASS2026 #GEWEX

A short time ago, our speaker @michaeladippold.bsky.social presented TERRA, who we are, what we do, snd what we stand for, at the Geosymposium at the GUZ (@unituebingen.bsky.social).

Come and find TERRA at Pan-GLASS 2026 by @gewex.bsky.social and hosted by @unihohenheim.bsky.social in Stuttgart.

Ja, das Klima der Erde hat sich in der Vergangenheit auch verändert. Ja, menschenverursachte CO2-Emissionen verursachen die jetzige Klimakrise. Mehr Emissionen mehr Erwärmung. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSBM... @unituebingen.bsky.social @terra-cluster.org @past2futureclimate.bsky.social

🎙️ TERRAnauts Kira Rehfeld & Andreas Schweiger join „Exzellent erklärt" to talk soils, plants and climate — and the one-of-a-kind field experiment „Diversitorium". 🎧 exzellent-erklaert.podigee.io (German Language) | terra-cluster.org #exzellenterklaert #TeamTERRA #podcast

Last night our weather station on the institute roof barely dropped below the threshold for tropical nights. Paired with low wind, and no precip this makes for an uncomfortable day in Tübingen. Current readings at wetterstation.guz.uni-tuebingen.de @terra-cluster.org @past2futureclimate.bsky.social

Interested in #syntropic #agroforestry? The number of model systems in Germany is rare & co-application of #biochar is unique: The #TERRA #FutureLab supported initative, the #SynWei system, is just now successfully established: join interesting discussions & a field tour on 16.06 vrom 10 a.m. on

📰 #TERRA made the news! The Schwäbische Tagblatt covered our TERRA Cluster of Excellence kick-off. Great to see public interest around what we're building: 7 years of research into terrestrial geo-biosphere interactions, starting now. 🌍 👉 www.swp.de/lokales/tueb...

Come and join the discussion on temperature variability at X4.5 with Tom or his dye-tracer experiments in models with Laura at X4.3 could help interpret speleothem records at #EGU this morning! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... @pages-ipo.bsky.social @terra-cluster.org

Our last day of #EGU 2026 startend with brilliant breakfast, and now we enjoy an exciting day with our session on extremes across scales, and look forward to many more great scientific discussions meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessio... @egu.eu @terra-cluster.org

Had amazingly great discussions. But, have to be very honest: I had the much easier job than @khatababdalla.bsky.social, who faced all the deep questions on how to integrate #resistance #resilience frameworks into integrative Geo-Bio Sciences. Was great representing #TERRA first time at #EGU2026 😊

TERRA was at #EGU26, organized by @egu.eu, in Vienna, Austria. While several of our members were present, our speaker @michaeladippold.bsky.social and postdoc @khatababdalla.bsky.social presented some aspects of #TERRA and our approach to the wider scientific audience.

Soils and carbon: TERRA's Michaela Dippold discussing microbial life and death in soils at #EGU today meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... @michaeladippold.bsky.social @terra-cluster.org

This afternoon at #EGU, Elisa presenting past-to-future inferred climate variability, an outcome of the palmod project meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... @terra-cluster.org www.palmod.de

At the end of the day, Kira discussed how the past matters for the future, and why climate models should reproduce it faithfully! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... @terra-cluster.org

Day 3 of #EGU, and so many exciting conversations, even over lunch in the park 🤩. It is great to be discussing topics like Miocene cooling, bugs in climate models, soil pCO2, or biochar as carbon removal option. Where else would this be possible in one day? @terra-cluster.org @egu.eu

This morning at #EGU Armelle presented first results from our compilation of daily and weekly water isotope measurements from precipitation over Tübingen and the Swabian Alb 🤩. Find out more here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... @terra-cluster.org @unituebingen.bsky.social

#EGU is on and Spacies are in Vienna happy to geek out on all things Earth sciences. First presentation by Desirée Lo Triglia on our Swabian Alb cave monitoring meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... @terra-cluster.org

Great to see the interest at Hendrik's poster on evaluating centennial climate variability in an atmosphere-ocean deep learning model. Join now in hall X5.88, or find it online meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... @terra-cluster.org @egu.eu

A lovely little detail at the #TERRA kick-off: tabletop rock gardens for meditative, zen-inspired coffee breaks 🪨🌱 Thanks a lot for the great opening event @terra-cluster.org

What fun to attend: The #TERRA FutureLab distributed its first biochar product from the #Kastanienhof. Bags were faster gone than the Visitors registered @unituebingen.bsky.social: what a success. This clearly shows that interest & demand for nature based solutions is out there: let's get started 💪

We were especially happy to welcome our two @dfg.de contact persons Dr. Muhadj Adnan and Dr. Meike Teschke here in @unituebingen.bsky.social. What a fruitful exchange 😀.

Very good that none of these pictures captures how nervous (but at the same time happy) I was. After all these years of preparation, shaking with tension waiting for the evaluation outcome, we are finally there: What a great day 🎉

Day two of our amazing #TERRA 🌎 Kick-Off, meeting old and new friends and colleagues for a second day in a row.

Some impressions from our first day of the #TERRA Kick-Off. It was an amazing day. And day two is coming up.

Our #TERRA 🌎 Kick-Off is today and we're so giddy. The past couple of days and weeks have been a bit stressful but now we're finally there! We'll keep you posted! It's going to be #Excellent 💚
