Wow—what a fantastic group! @taiscarvalho.bsky.social joined @ufz.de as a visiting PhD student in 2022 and quickly became an essential part of the team. She has now secured a prestigious grant to launch her own research group. A rising star to watch closely! :)

Was der Klimawissenschaftler Emanuele Bevacqua sagt. Wäre doch mal schön, wenn wir dazu eine Talkshow hätten, oder @zdfde.bsky.social ?
"Die Klimakrise muss oberste Priorität auf der politischen Agenda haben, sowohl auf nationaler als auch auf internationaler Ebene. Für die anstehende Bundestagswahl ist  da allerdings noch deutlich Luft nach oben", sagt der Klimawissenschaftler Emanuele Bevacqua.

By comparing different text corpora on sustainable agriculture in Germany we found that farmers and the broader society in have very different perceptions of what sustainable agriculture is about. Check our paper here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

1/ In 2021, Germany faced its costliest riverine floods ever: 189 lives lost & €33B in damages. Beyond these direct consequences, what about the hidden impacts? In a paper with @jsodoge.bsky.social, we used 26,000 newspaper articles to uncover them 👇 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
