🔥 Europe is again facing an extreme fire season. By 5 August, almost 500,000 ha had burned across the EU, exceeding the area burned by the same date in the record 2025 season. What about the #mountain forests? They, too, are under threat. ⬇️ #Wildfires #ClimateChange #MountainForests #ForestEcology

Together with Luca, my PhD student, and a great team, we developed the first Switzerland-wide map of standing deadwood. Explore it in our GEE app: deadwood-480313.projects.earthengine.app/view/deadwoo...

How Switzerland cleaned up its rivers and lakes. This success story is encouraging when we address the next step: improving river morphology and riparian vegetation in a warming world. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

From sewage and scum to swimming in ‘blue gold’: how Switzerland transformed its rivers

In the 1960s, the Swiss had some of the dirtiest water in Europe. Now, their cities boast pristine rivers and lakes – and other countries are looking to follow their lead

🌍 Can we map #TreeMortality with #AI & #remotesensing? 🔵 Check the #DeadTrees.Earth — a global initiative led by Clemens Mosig to track and analyze tree mortality from aerial and satellite data. 🔬Looking forward to Teja Kattenborn's talk at the ML Symposium in Zurich! #diversity #forestry

New paper in @science.org ! Where and when did the #multiyear-droughts occur around the world? Have they become more prevailing? We identified over 10,000 such events and found that they have been increasingly occupying the terrestrial land. (1/6) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado4245

🌍 Mega-droughts are becoming more frequent and intense globally. Our study in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... shows that multi-year droughts have significantly increased over the last 40 years with severe impacts @wslresearch.bsky.social @wsl-dme.bsky.social @extremeswsl.bsky.social (1/7) 🧵

The map shows 500 of those events that happend over the last 40 years.
