Tobacco use in India has halved this century. At the turn of the millennium, one-in-five adults in India smoked tobacco, and almost half of all adults were using any form of tobacco, including products that are chewed or sniffed. But over the past two decades, rates of both have roughly halved.
Line chart of the estimated share of people aged 15 years and older in India who currently use tobacco where overall use fell substantially this century — about 50% to 24% for any tobacco (including chewed tobacco) and about 19% to 10% for smoking between 2000 and 2022.

Another huge leap in European Nutrient-related work from our group is published in Nature Food, showing via a comprehensive scenario analysis of nitrogen surplus typologies in Europe that a 20% fertilizer reduction may fall short of 2030 EU Green Deal goals. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Pursuing FAIR Science: As always, we went the extra mile in this study by not only detailing our "methodology to reconstruct historical P surplus" but also by making the "dataset publicly available" — a commitment to open and transparent science!

This research would not have been possible without our early efforts in making high-resolution Europe-wide simulations conducted as part of the EdGE project and the following HOKLIM project

And here comes the hidden part: Beyond regional differentiated analysis, we also look critically into the seasonal changes in groundwater recharge - this has been a missing piece in many large-scale assessments.

The findings underscore the growing urgency for the Central European region to better pinpoint uncertainties in climate impact assessments.

A clear north-south polarization emerges — Mediterranean regions will likely experience a significant decline in groundwater recharge, while Scandinavian regions are projected to receive more recharge in the future. Intensification grows as we go towards higher warming levels.

Based on our multi-model ensemble, we present the Europe-wide, high-resolution multi-model assessment of groundwater recharge under different global warming levels.

📚 Education is a fundamental human right. Without it, there is no freedom and no prosperity. We are committed to investing in high-quality education and continued training for citizens in Europe and beyond. #InternationalDayOfEducation
A chalkboard displays handwritten text in white chalk. The conjugation of the verb “have” appears at the top: “I have, You have, She, He has, We have, You have, They have.” Below, the sentence “A right to education” is written in larger letters. In the bottom-right corner, a small European Union flag is sketched. Two pieces of chalk and an eraser rest on the wooden chalkboard ledge.

- It marks a significant step forward, fully integrating novel CRNS measurements with their forward processing module in mHM. - Enabled the direct incorporation of CRNS measurements into the mHM model, enhancing its soil moisture processes and other related processes (e.g., evapotranspiration).
