Alpine autumn color show

Am Blaser. Flug nach Trins. Mussten aber 2h oben warten wegen dem Nebel…

Oben am Startplatz war es zuerst neblig und etwas frischer. Danach ging’s aber gut 😋

Aerial Alpine autumn vibes

🌌 Milky Way over Jamtalferner glowing in the night. Pure alpine magic. ✨⛰️

Fitz Roy (3406 m), Patagonia — this is why I carry a camera everywhere. Clouds forming, breaking, and racing past the peaks, the drama shifting every minute.
This is why I shoot timelapse.

✨ Huge congratulations to @birgitsattler.bsky.social
on her nomination as Austrian of the Year in the Climate category! 🌍❄️
This recognition is so well deserved — her tireless glacier and climate work inspires the scientific community and beyond.

Tonight’s lunar eclipse, partly hidden by alpine peaks and drifting clouds. Still lucky enough to capture fragments of the Moon’s journey. 🌒🌕🌘

What happens when UV light hits spoiled cream cheese? A hidden microbial world starts to glow 🔬🧀✨

❄️ Glaciers. 🌲 Forests. 🌊 Lakes. ⛰️ Summits.

This 30s trailer shows how I turn research into powerful visuals. Produced for LTSER Tyrolean Alps (University of Innsbruck).

Which landscape speaks to you most? 👀

I have spent another two days in the mountains at Naturpark Ötztal to follow scientists that mapped vegetation at the 3497m high Mt. Schrankogel. And yes, I had an official permit to go camping. ⛺🌌 Camped under the Milky Way during the Perseid meteor shower.
📸 Film coming soon :-)
#SciComm

❄️ Visited #Hintereisferner for a video project — a #glacier in Tirol’s Naturpark Ötztal ranging from 2,500–3,750 m.
It holds one of the world’s longest records of glacier mass balance, a key to understanding climate change in the Alps.
📸 Film coming soon.

Some climbs are for science, all climbs are for perspective.

Good luck 😉

Hi Mark, thanks for the kind words!
The original was shot in 4K, 120 fps, 10-bit. The version on #Bluesky is 1080 × 864 at 30 fps, about 65 MB in size. I really like how the 4×5 aspect ratio works for this one. Hope this helps. Cheers

Early forest walk this morning… came back with slow-mo squirrel footage 🐿️🎥

Pinky promise 😇

Neustift / Stubaital. Hier fliege ich gerade über das Pinistal mit Blick Richtung Süden 🤗

Winding down the day
with a peaceful flight
and a sky painted in blue 💙

Rainy weekend? 🌧️ Grab a UV light and explore!
These isopods under a lichen patch glow blue, red is likely chlorophyll‑a fluorescence. This photo is a stack of 400 RAW images! ✨🪲💡

Pollinators are in global decline—yet we depend on their ecosystem services, from healthy ecosystems to food security. Visualizing them shows what’s disappearing—and why we must act to protect them. 🌸 Protect pollinator habitats, protect our future.

Thanks for sharing 🤗

Really nice work! What is the realtime duration of the video and the initial water temperature?

Check out this time-lapse video of waves eroding an ice front from an experiment conducted in our cryogenic wave tank at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The tank is housed in a walk-in freezer, and the waves are precisely controlled. This video captures about an hour of wave erosion.

Everyone needs a way to clear their mind.
This is mine. 🪂 Over Innsbruck, above the noise.

Nordwestpassage – Von Kanada nach Grönland Die Arktis, das Gebiet rund um den Nordpol, gehört zu den am wenigsten erschlossenen Gegenden der Erde. Eine Region mit magischer Anziehungskraft.

Ich habe zufällig mal in #3sat reingeschaut und sofort @weisleitner.bsky.social bei der Beprobung von #Mikroplastik in #Kanada und #Grönland gesehen 😲
Sehr sehr spannend ✌️

Schön, dass es dir gefallen hat 😊
Mikroplastik in sensiblen Ökosystemen ist ein extrem relevantes Thema – auch wenn nicht jede Institution wie @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social das Potenzial relevanter Forschung erkennt. Umso schöner, wenn solche Arbeiten dennoch ihren Weg in die Öffentlichkeit finden ✌️❄️

Das schaffen nur ganz besondere Menschen 🫣
