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.

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

Changing vegetation in thawing permafrost increases emissions of greenhouse gases
020
TERRA - Geo-Biosphere Interactions @terra-cluster.org · 15/04/2026
Net result: emissions up to 9× higher. Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO₂. "Global climate models must consider not just the permafrost itself, but the plant activity on it as well,” says Marie Mollenkopf, a PhD student who led the study.

TERRA - Geo-Biosphere Interactions @terra-cluster.org · 15/04/2026
❄️The Arctic is thawing — and the plants moving in are making it worse. A research team within #TERRA🌍 studied the #Stordalen mire in #Sweden across a full growing season. As permafrost melts, grasses replace shrubs. They absorb CO₂ in summer — but drive far more methane by late season.
