Sustainable Pathways under Climate Variability

The successful candidate from Brazil will be hosted at the Geo- and Environmental Research Center @unituebingen.bsky.social, and will be right there as we start the activities of our Cluster of Excellence @terra-cluster.bsky.social!

We're advertising the CAPES guest #professorship for paleomagnetism and magnetic properties of sediments and rocks.

Great to see this Alpine ice core data published, showing the potential of Mont Blanc glaciers for paleoclimate reconstruction! Kira says: "Dietmar, if you can see this from above the clouds - you were right about the Glacial ice (even though I could only speculate about this in my diploma thesis)."

Happy to announce that #TERRA was selected as a #ClusterOfExcellence by @dfg.de. K. Rehfeld (@past2futureclimate.bsky.social‬), O. Cirpka & myself express greatest thanks to @unituebingen.bsky.social‬, our mock-reviewers & the entire TERRA-team for the relentless support. Let's start the endevour!

Congratulations to TERRAs spokespersons Prof. Dr. Michaela Dippold, Prof. Dr. Kira Rehfeld und Prof. Dr. Olaf Cirpka (all Tuebingen) and our PIs Prof. Dr. Frank Schurr, Jun.-Prof. Dr. Andreas Schweiger und Prof. Dr. Thilo Streck.

Das Bild zeigt einen Brunnen vor der Neuen Aula. Darunter der Text: Sechs Exzellenzcluster werden in Tübingen gefördert.

Die Universität Tübingen erhält sechs #Exzellenzcluster, die im Rahmen der #Exzellenzstrategie vom 01.01.2026 an sieben Jahre lang gefördert werden! Darunter drei Cluster, die bereits etabliert sind und eine erneute Förderung erhalten. uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet... #ExStra #Forschung #UniTübingen

Map of Germany with the Clusters of Excellence

The #ClustersOfExcellence have been selected: today, the Excellence Commission approved 70 projects for funding. 45 clusters will continue and 25 will be newly established. Funding starts on 1 Jan 2026 for 7 years, with €539 million per year. The full list: www.dfg.de/resource/blo... 1/3

A good day on the field! Judith, Markus and Armelle went to the Swabian Alb to install a water and a rainwater collector. 💧🌧️
We’re investigating oxygen isotope ratios in karstic runoff at the Goldloch near Schlattstall and in precipitation on the plateau above the cave. Let's hope for enough rain!🤞🌦️

New paper by Irene Trombini @irtrombini.bsky.social, Nils Weitzel and co-authors on #Dansgaard-Oeschger events - rapid warming events during the last Glacial! 🥶 🌊
Discover how the atmosphere and the ocean shaped the Southern Hemisphere's response to past #AMOC variations ▶️ doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Wen es weitergehend interessiert, dem seien die Factsheets aus dem @cdrterra.bsky.social-Projekt empfohlen, etwa zu Begrifflichkeiten (cdrterra.de/wp-content/u...) und verschiedenen Verfahren die zur Kohlendioxidentnahme an Land eingesetzt werden können (cdrterra.de/news/co%e2%8...). 🌳 🪨 🌱 🌞 🌍

Wir haben uns gefreut über die intensive, inhaltliche Diskussion zu Klima und CO2-Entnahme!

Testing the reliability of global surface temperature reconstructions of the Last Glacial Cycle with pseudo-proxy experiments Abstract. Reconstructions of past variations in the global mean surface temperature (GMST) are used to characterise the Earth system response to perturbations and to validate Earth system simulations....

Jean-Philippe Baudouin and PalMod co-authors published a new paper in #Climate of the Past! 🎉 Their paper highlights critical limitations in current temperature reconstructions due to proxy data properties and suggests strategies to enhance #paleoclimate reconstructions.

Thanks to @umweltstiftung.bsky.social, BMBF, and PalMod for funding, @cdrterra.bsky.social for great discussions, and Matthias M. May and Thomas Kleinen for your help!

A visual abstract describing the key concept and one of the paper's findings. Left: Conceptual figure visualizing Sun-driven CO2 direct air capture, electrochemical conversion into a sink product, and long-term sequestration of that product (sDACCCS). Right: Global map of simulated total land conversions resulting from implementing sDACCCS with photovoltaics in a high-CDR and low-efficiency scenario. Spatial deployment is according to a burden-sharing scenario that builds on the historical emissions of individual countries.

New Earth system #modeling paper published: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1.... @moritzadam.bsky.social and co-authors are benchmarking carbon dioxide removal #CDR through sun-driven CO2 conversion.

Hello Bluesky!
We are the Climatology and Biosphere group at @unituebingen.bsky.social. From now on, we are posting here and on Mastodon 🪁 🐘 🦋

We are excited to share our research and tell you more about our work on #climatevariability, #climatedynamics, and #sustainability! 🌍
