🗾The poster sessions at #TIBS2026 are a great opportunity to exchange results and ideas, and to meet new people. We enjoy the interaction and atmosphere. And we will leave with a rich set of new ideas and connections.🚀

It was great to meet so many other Early Career Researchers at our #TIBS2026 mixer last night - both catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.

To celebrate all the ECR Biogeographers, we have created a starter pack so you can follow all the exciting work being done:

Exploring the tropical cloud forests of #Guacamayos. 🔎 Foggy, rain-soaked and mild temperatures: #cloudforests are some of the most species- and endemism-rich biomes on Earth. Despite covering only 0.4% of global land, they host 3,700 #species of birds, mammals, amphibians and tree ferns. 🌧️🌳🌿

What drives the iconic buttress roots in tropical forests—mechanics or nutrients?🌳 At #EGU25, @haozhima.bsky.social presented his research on “The biogeography & functional understanding of buttress roots in tropical forests”. He’s part of our SNSF Advanced Grant project "BIOME.cc"🌎: rb.gy/r8vy1l

@clechartre.bsky.social held a session on "HP computing for mechanistic prediction of biome distribution" at #EGU25. She presented BIOME4.jl—a hi-res #Julia reimplementation of #BIOME4 to improve performance, modularity & scalability, enabling the simulation of biome dynamics in complex terrains.🌍🖥️

1/ How often does a major droughts hit the Alps? A deep dive into the data. 🌍

Having free and accessible drought data makes it easy to check how climate change has already impacted a region. Using our global drought dataset envidat.ch#/metadata/gl..., I took a closer look at the Alps. 🧵👇

Hydroclimate volatility on a warming Earth - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment Rapid transitions between extreme wet and extreme dry conditions — ‘hydroclimate whiplash’ — have marked environmental and societal impacts. This Review outlines observed and projected changes in hydr...

In our new review on 'Hydroclimate volatility on a warming Earth' led by @weatherwest.bsky.social, we show that global-averaged subseasonal and interannual whiplash have increased substantially in the past and further increases are anticipated with ongoing warming: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
