First day #egu26 SC: eDNA in geosciences

Ready for #EGU26! 🌍 Excited to share the schedule for our team's presentations and those of our fellow researchers. ⬇️ Hope to see you there! 😃 👋 #hydrology #soilscience #geosciences

Every 6 seconds, we lose an area of tropical rainforest as big as a football pitch. Forests & trees make Earth livable. They are a critical defence against heating. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is our shared commitment to prevent & reverse ecosystem degradation: https://ow.ly/XCfy50YOSje

Hydrology Paper of the Day @vesnazupanc.bsky.social on linking rill erosion to physical soil properties: flume experiments showing quantitative thresholds related to soil physics; varability and why saline water should not be utilized for irrigation; and understanding the rill detachment process.

What lies beneath the fertile plains of the upper Sava Valley, Slovenia: new insights into terrace formation and channel pattern shifts, in collaboration with colleagues from Poland #Geomorphology #EarthScience authors.elsevier.com/c/1myVf_7nQ7...

Hydrology Paper of the Day @irnasa.bsky.social on how contaminants are transported by hydrological processes characterized by drought conditions: the Onyar River Basin in Spain; linkages with groundwater; temporal changes in water chemistry; and characterizing reactive transport.

Letos lahko kar ukinemo prvoaprilske. Ga ni štosa, ki bi premagal realnost.

𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝘆𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 🔎💧 Fluorescent dye tracing is a powerful tool to analyse flow paths, residence times, recharge dynamics, infiltration pathways and contaminant transport. Real-time, in situ water flow data can improve hydrogeological models and optimise water management.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Georg von Hevesy je sumil, da mu gospodinja pripravlja jedi iz ostankov.🤔Ostanke hrane je posipal z radioaktivnim sledilom.💡Ko mu je gospodinja postregla isto hrano, je z detektorjem potrdil,da je radioaktivna.🤨 Več s prof.

@nature.com I love this article - but WHY are the only share options to X and Facebook when the whole point of the article is that science-based posts get more shares here? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happy #internationaldogday! Meet Athos, the best buddy for exploring natural places.

Overheard the earthling and her friends talking about "vintage websites," so I asked about it. "Oh, you know, the ones it's easier to trust. Like if they're copyright 2012 or they still have that 2005-looking design." We've taught the youth to distrust up-to-date information. Great work, AI.

I went from finishing my PhD, straight to the private sector and have thoroughly enjoyed my job for the last 19 years. There are so many opportunities outside academia, but I agree, non-academic #careers are not really discussed inside of academia. #AcademicSky 🧪

Here are some of the most curious and promising places to gather solar energy, according to the Swiss. 1. Why not do something with the unused space between Switzerland’s 5,300 kilometres of railway tracks?

We are seeing an increasing number of satellite launches where the owner, and even the owner's country, is not announced, contrary to the spirit (and arguably letter) of UN Res 1721B.

Wow! I’ve never seen anything like this 😱 This CCTV footage captures the powerful M7.7 earthquake that struck Myanmar in March. You can clearly see the dramatic shift in the ground. You need to watch it a few times to take everything in. Don't be distracted by the gate. Absolutely surreal.

Congratulations to Frederik Kratzert on winning this year's Arne Richter Award for outstanding research by an early career scientist. Fantastic presentation at #EGU25 this afternoon!

How do past floods shape future preparedness? While flood-affected households expect future impacts, they don’t always see them as more severe. The key to better adaptation? Boosting self-efficacy and social support, not just risk awareness. Learn more from Dominic Sett (PICO4.6, Fri, 8:53). #EGU25
