Big thanks to our fantastic #ECOSENSE field and management team for great organisation of the excursion

Final day of our #ECOSENSE conference🧪 with excellent speaker with the excursion to our fantastic🌳🌲 field site now with >1100 Sensors🌞

‪
The lightweight and minimally invasive ECOvette enables real-time measurements of VOCs, CO₂, and water vapour at the leaf level. Integrated multi-sensor monitoring of leaf temperature as well as ambient temperature and humidity ensures robust field data under natural conditions.

Publication alert! Read the newest ECOSENSE publication of Yasmina Frey et al. about the innovative ECOvette in ACS ES&T Engineering (lnkd.in/eD3PFnKD).

Nach dem Interview mit Klimaforscher @rahmstorf.bsky.social frage ich offen in die Runde: Wann gibt es einen Klimagipfel im Kanzleramt?

Wir rasen gerade auf etwas zu, dass die jetzigen Herausforderungen geradezu lächerlich erscheinen lassen.

Planetare Grenzen Klimaschutz Erde Planet Health Check Ostdeutschland Die Klimakrise wird größer. Der Planetary Health Check zeigt: Der Patient Erde um Luft ringt. Was tun? Und: Kanzler trifft ostdeutsche Regierungschefs (17:25)

Klimajournalistin sein heißt auch, Dinge ins Verhältnis setzen, Bezüge herstellen, Dinge verknüpfen. Durfte ich heute umfangreich.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Opportunistic Short‐Term Water Uptake Dynamics by Subalpine Trees Observed via In Situ Water Isotope Measurements Tree water resources changed within a few days from snow dominated to higher share of rainfall as soils wetted up after a dry period Compensatory plant water uptake by aspen from the deep layer (...

Forest health in the Rocky Mountains declines, which is why we looked into drought resilience via in situ stable isotope measurements of soil & tree waters on daily basis. We found that aspen are adjusting their water uptake dynamics within days to water availability changes. doi.org/10.1029/2024...

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

A chart from https://docs.nrel.gov/docs/fy25osti/95135.pdf , sourced to the IEA as of April 2025, showing solar power as % of generation in different countries. This varies between over 25% for the Netherlands, through about 24% for Spain, about 14% EU average, about 8% for the US to almost nothing in Norway. Text says that the IEA reckons global is about 10%.

I do bloody love this chart. Who'd have thought, 20 years ago, that solar would be ~10% of world electricity generation by 2024 - and over 20% in some countries, rising rapidly in others?

Definitely not me. When I started this job I hoped to be part of a solution for maybe 1% of global electricity.
