How often and how severe will future #droughts be? And how well can climate models simulate them?

Our new paper by Klara Middendorf together with colleagues from @gfz.bsky.social. We use #GRACE satellite #gravity data to evaluate drought events in climate model simulations.

An impressive number of volunteers contribute to making #EGU25 possible.

I can really recommend getting involved with @egu.eu, as it is not only (a little bit) of work, but also (a lot of) fun!!
