Are you willing to attend #EGU26 ?
Please consider this new session:
HS 2.3.1 Water quality analysis across large samples and scales
📍 Vienna & online | 🗓 3–8 May 2026
🎤 Keynote: Elizabeth Boyer (Penn State)
⏰ Abstract deadline: 15 Jan 2026, 13:00 CET

Do forest recovery + higher soil organic C elevate production of dissolved inorganic C? No, because cooling soils + lower moisture reduce soil respiration.
On the other hand, drier climate does diminish carbonate weathering + reduce DIC export

As Qinghai Lake climbs the shore, newly drowned edges remobilize phosphorus. Particles and chlorophyll rise, pH and redox shift, microbes reorganize into denser networks. These zones become engines of internal loading, amplifying eutrophication risk in alpine waters. 🌐🧪
Upcoming #WARR talks on water chemistry + pollution in substantially modified urban streams flowing through densely populated landscapes

It takes patience to have a conversation about definitions as a collaboration begins... but it is important!
"Trophic state" in lakes is one of those concepts! It really makes a difference which definition we use... @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social

Il y a moins de 3 ans, personne n'utilisait ChatGPT. Aujourd'hui, c'est semble-t-il devenu indispensable pour des millions de Français. Mais à quel prix ?
Consommation d'électricité, consommation d'eau, extraction de matières premières... l'intelligence artificielle est un gouffre énergétique.
📢 #ArticleIRBio: Dr. Camille Minaudo (IRBio–UB) publish OLIGOTREND: a global database with 4.3M water quality & chlorophyll a records 🌍💧

OLIGOTREND was featured in the last @irbio-ub.bsky.social post, with a great summary of what this database consists of, and what it already tells us about #oligotrophication in aquatic ecosystems:

Historical satellite imagery provides crucial insights, not only for penguin colonies but also for establishing realistic baselines to support conservation efforts and effective management across broad spatial scales. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...
Our overview of the impressive paper by Jensen et al in PNAS about under-ice oxygen levels is out.

News of the large-scale OLIGOTREND database have reached the multi-disciplinary EurekAlert! www.eurekalert.org/news-release...
If you want to reminisce about some #EGU25 inland water GHG highlights, I wrote a little something for the BG division blog! ✍️
While the database is not exhaustive, its flexible structure and reproducible processing pipeline facilitate the inclusion of additional datasets in the future. Please get in touch with us if you feel you can help us fill the void.
OLIGOTREND v2.0 starts now!
A little side project has grown into a wonderful collective effort! We're thrilled to see the #OLIGOTREND data published on #EDI, along with its detailed companion paper released in #EarthSystemScienceData.

Awesome work here from a @steps-stc.bsky.social scholar.
Scars from wildfire are even clearer when #Sentinel2 #MSI SWIR is shown instead of True Colour image.
Are you, like me, wondering about the effects of this compound event on downstream water quality?
In less than a week, the #ElsPorts mountain range near Tortosa, on the west side of the large river Ebre (Catalonia), has endured two extreme events: a 3,300 ha #wildfire, followed by #torrential rainfall (100 mm/day) in the #riucanaletes watershed... All of this is visible from space.
Although we typically consider photosynthetic allochthonous and autochthonous carbon in stream food webs, chemoautotrophic sources (ammonia or sulfur oxidation) can contribute substantially, and incorporate ancient C. Recently accepted to FWS, online at www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
El agua del Mediterráneo arde: de Málaga a Sicilia supera los 28 grados. En algunos puntos es peor: el 30 de junio, la boya de Dragonera (Baleares) marcó 30,55 ºC. “Son temperaturas de mares tropicales; si seguimos así, no sé qué va a pasar en agosto” social.elpais.com/7i1g25
🧵Junio de 2025 ha pulverizado récords.
→ Temperatura media de 23.6 °C. Supera por 0.8 °C al anterior junio más cálido: el de 2017.
→ Su carácter ha sido extremadamente cálido. Supera en nada menos que 3.5 °C el promedio del período 1991-2020.
The publisher of my recently accepted paper announces a minimum of 10 weeks to produce the proofs from the final revised version I had sent.
With the current rules of the game (unfortunately), every publication and citation matters to secure a permanent position, it is hard to wait and stay quiet.
Sur l'engagement des scientifiques en présence de risques clairs, documentés de manière transparente & plurielle👇.
Dénoncer les projets qui aggravent les risques en conscience & connaissance au détriment de l’intérêt général, l’habitabilité pour toutes&tous, est une devoir moral, éthique, humaniste.
They’ve done it again. @primavera-sound.bsky.social has been covered in artificial grass, i.e. plastic with chemicals that end up in the sea. A threat to human health, a risk to marine ecosystems, and a source of plastic pollution to the Mediterranean. Year after year. @beyondplastics.bsky.social
We have a unique job opportunity to work on the GLOBAL METHANE BUDGET with the Global Carbon Project, in France.
Seeking a dynamic data expert to support the coordination and production of the next Global CH4 Budget.

This is today at 6pm! #EGU25 #Geocinema
Good morning #EGU25 !
If you are using chamber measurements in #aquatic ecosystems to calculate #GHG fluxes, you might be interested in my talk today.
I'll show how and why experts (dis)agree when it comes to estimating fluxes from concentration time series.

We went to the #Gambia to evidence how rising salinity in the river is affecting both local communities and the ecosystem, and @milevafilms.bsky.social made a documentary about it.
It will be shown for the first time to the public next week at @egu.eu #egu25.
Don't miss it if you are there!
