Stefan Dekker Ecohydrology 🟥

🥲 tijd voor een fairphone …

Hi Matt if you can add me to the starting package?

Stefan Dekker wordt per 15 juni de nieuwe directeur van het NIOO. “Het onderzoek van het NIOO aan de drie thema’s biodiversiteit, klimaatverandering en duurzaam gebruik van land en water sluit naadloos aan bij mijn onderzoekinteresses”. Lees verder: nioo.knaw.nl/nl/nieuws/st...

This is a serious increase in number of applications. Fingers crossed Ben!

The cover page of Mary Somerville’s book “Physical Geography.” This is the second American edition; at the bottom it notes that a special glossary was prepared for this edition.

The Morning Post called Somerville the “Queen of Nineteenth Century Science.”

Her 1848 book “Physical Geography” remained in use as a textbook well into the 20th century. (2/n)

A self-portrait painted by Mary Somerville. She is seated in a red chair, holding what appears to be paper and quill in her hands. Her brown hair is pulled back under a bonnet and she is wearing a long gray dress.

Mary Somerville was born #OTD in 1780. She was a scientist, writer, and artist; the first woman (with Caroline Herschel) to belong to the Royal Astronomical Society; and the first signature on Mill’s 1868 Women’s Suffrage petition. (1/n) 🧪 👩‍🔬 🔭

Biodiversity loss due to agricultural trade three times higher than thought Exporting agricultural products from tropical regions to China, the USA, the Middle East, and Europe is three times more harmful to biodiversity than previously assumed. Researchers from the Technical...

Exporting agricultural products from tropical regions is 3x more harmful to biodiversity than assumed. Researchers from TUM and ETH Zurich have shown this by tracking how agricultural exports from 1995 to 2022 affected land use changes in the producing countries. baug.ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

6900 jaar oude eik in Drents hoogveen In De Witten, nabij Dalerpeel, werden afgelopen zomer de restanten van een zomereik gevonden. Onderzoek door Rijksuniversiteit Groningen toont aan dat de boom 5000 jaar voor Christus ontkiemde en 200 ...

Een bijzondere vondst in De Witten, nabij Dalerpeel in Drenthe. Tijdens de aanleg van nieuwe kades werd een eeuwenoude zomereik veiliggesteld, dankzij een oplettende kraanmachinist. 🌳

Soil microbiomes show consistent and predictable responses to extreme events - Nature Soils from 30 grasslands across Europe were subjected to 4 contrasting extreme climatic events under drought, flood, freezing and heat conditions, with the results suggesting that soil microbiomes fro...

It’s #WorldSoilDay!

A perfect day to share our recent paper, which brings us one step closer to being able to predict the impacts of climate change on soil microbiomes and their functioning.

Koosje is wel geïnteresseerd maar ze wandelt altijd met hond, die ook z’n eigen spullen draagt. Dit keer vanuit Assen is het door een gebied verboden voor de hond. Ze gaat een volgende keer vast mee. Ik ben niet zo’n hiker, wel wandelen maar niet zo met zware rugzak.

Net even gelezen. Hoe werkt dit precies? Komt er ook een gpx op de site.

Exploring the Risks of Overshoot: New Research Highlights Critical Challenges for Climate Strategies As global warming approaches 1.5°C and the urgency to address climate change grows, ambitious strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions become more important than ever. One increasingly discussed approach is the concept of "overshoot," where temperatures exceed a target temporarily before returning to back below it later on. But what are the risks of overshoot, and are we underestimating its long-term consequences?

Overshoot scenarios often shift burdens to future generations & vulnerable communities. Is this the climate future we want?
