Heute Abend um 20:30 Uhr geht für eine Stunde das Licht aus. Weltweit. In Wohnzimmern, vor Wahrzeichen, auf öffentlichen Plätzen. Denn es ist #EarthHour!

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Klimaschutz ist kein „Zugeständnis an die Grünen“! Er ist dringend notwendig zum Schutz aller Menschen - und auch der Wirtschaft - vor einer absehbaren Katastrophe. Und er ist völkerrechtliche Verpflichtung. 33 Jahre nach der UN-Klimarahmenkonvention sollte wirklich jeder das verstanden haben.

Noch bis zum 24.3. Zeit den Appell für mehr Klimaschutz in den Koalitionsverhandlungen zu unterschreiben. www.bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/s4f/de/top/o...

BREAKING: Kia’s official Instagram account in Norway just posted this..

Help our friends at the NSF: Seeking scientists based in California who are willing to attest to direct harm caused by NSF firings. If you’re in the science world, please RT this to widen the net— a lawsuit on the unjust mass firings needs these comments. (comment briefly here and I’ll follow up!)

Mature beech trees redistribute soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand #transpiration, from deeper moist #soils to dry surface soils, where seedlings of different #tree species take it up. New #hydraulicredistribution paper with TUM & BoKu Ecophys groups: doi.org/10.1111/plb....

When you mess with science, be prepared for a reaction! #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

Breaking news: Thousands of researchers and their supporters, including recently fired federal workers, have gathered across the U.S. in response to layoffs and funding cuts ordered by the Trump administration. scim.ag/41zlPv4

Was a pleasure to have the SWR film team at our #ECOSENSE field site 🧪🌲🎬 Check out the clip in the ARD media center (our part starts at minute 16:30): www.ardmediathek.de/video/swr-ak... #climatechange #forest

Perfect weather during our video shoot yesterday for a TV feature on our #ECOSENSE field site for the SWR. Stay tuned 🌲🎬 #climatechange #forest

Our new paper in "Ecohydrology" led by @simonhaber.bsky.social describes dynamics of short-term droughts on tree water potentials. We were using new continuous stem water sensors at our @icos-ri.eu site in Hartheim @uni-freiburg.de as part of @ecosense-sfb-1537.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/eco....

“Twenty one federal employees who had been working with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency resigned, writing in a letter that they wouldn’t offer their expertise to overhaul the government if it meant undermining essential services.”

The US pulling out of the IPCC will have zero effect on the reality of #climate change, zero effect on the science updates reported by the IPCC, and simply weaken US science and respect globally. www.axios.com/2025/02/20/u...

Friedrich Merz erzählt schon wieder auf Bühnen, Frauen würden die Grünen wählen, weil sie Habeck hot fänden. Damit markiert er Frauen als »zu emotional für rationale Entscheidungen, für Politik«. Genau damit wurde Frauen das Wahlrecht verwehrt. Kein moderner Mensch kann diesen Mann unterstützen.

New round of the Lise Meitner Excellence Program for tenure track group leaders in @maxplanck.de institutes opened today -- please consider applying! The program aims to recruit and promote exceptionally qualified female scientists. Because diversity increases excellence! www.mpg.de/lise-meitner...

I used to regularly access this NOAA page on atmospheric GHG concentrations, so glad to know it’s still available from UCSD ⚒️🌏🧪

Welcome to Copenhagen to the 1st International Symposium on Volatile Interactions in Ecosystems! #biogeochemistry, #chemicalecology #ecosystem-atmosphereinteractions #VOCs #volatilome Deadline for abstracts is Feb 24. eventsignup.ku.dk/voltsymposiu... May 21-23 is a lovely time to visit Copenhagen

It was another stunning year for global climate and weather extremes. As data is processed and released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new historical records. Apologies for my many graphs in advance! 😬 Spiral below produced by svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5190

2024 was the fourth warmest year for the UK on record (behind 2014, 2022 and 2023) and included the warmest Spring on record.

Da ist die beliebte rhetorische „Brechstange“ wieder: dieses Mal meint Kanzler Scholz, die Grünen wollten die Energiewende „mit der Brechstange“. Versteht der Kanzler wirklich nicht, wie schnell der CO2-Ausstoß sinken muss, um eine Klimakatastrophe abzuwenden?

On my way to my #TEDtalk on #climatechange impact on #forest. #ECOSENSE. Happy if you join me at 17:00 CET here: www.youtube.com/live/aECXaFy... 🌳🌲🧪

Great to have the #REA system for #VOCs running at our #ECOSENSE field site🧪🌲🌳

How do European forests react to different stress factors like a changing climate? And how can we improve quantifying these reactions by developing and installing a newly designed autonomous sensor network? 🌲🧪 For more details check out our published grant proposal: riojournal.com/article/1293...
