Are you working with #watertemperatures in freshwater systems?
Are you doing field work, modelling, large-scale analyses, or catchment studies?
Are you studying natural and anthropogenic processes governing fresh water temperatures, and their implications on ecosystems and water resources?

#Waldsterben führt zu einer Verschlechterung der #Trinkwasserqualität, zeigt eine neue Studie der #UniFreiburg. Denn 43 Prozent der deutschen #Wasserschutzgebiete sind bewaldet – dort haben sich die #Nitratwerte im #Grundwasser verdoppelt, wenn viele Bäume abstarben.

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W

„Und überhaupt sei "das, was im Monat abgeschoben wird, in drei Tagen wieder da". "Das", was da abgeschoben wird, sagt Merz - und meint wohlgemerkt Menschen. Mit einer solchen kompromisslosen Sprache der Entmenschlichung hat auch die AfD angefangen.“
