Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially. Via @us.theconversation.com

Few technologies have been met with such a barrage of misinformation as heat pumps have. @carbonbrief.org just dropped a brand-new version of my heat pump myths factcheck. Have a look here 👇 interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/he...

The scientific community is at a pivotal moment right now. And we are seeing things start to shift. Now is the time for scientists and scientific institutions to step up. No one is coming to save us. 🧵

The new season of Sedimentology.Lunch-Talks starts in May with a presentation by Dr. Cécile Blanchet (@clblanchet.bsky.social). For more information visit dggv.de/bildungsange... #sedimentology #riverdynamics #continentalmargins #talks #research #topics

Shutting down Mauna Loa CO₂ observations while atmospheric CO₂ keeps skyrocketing is like turning off a fire alarm because you don’t like the noise www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/c...

New: A NOAA lab in Hawaii that is connected to the longest-running observation of global greenhouse gas concentrations is slated for closure in August, according to a list of lease terminations Democratic members of Congress shared with @washingtonpost.com.

This week I was at @climatecerege.bsky.social to meet colleagues and sample some cores and I stayed to join the women’s demo on March 8th - what a blast!

This is a brilliant resource!! Please share widely!

Something else to boycott.

One might think that Nazi crimes and palaeontology never overlapped, and yet... Have you ever wondered what happened to tens of palaeontologists & geologists in the Nazi-occupied Poland? How academics helped to bring down the fascist regime. And a curious story of Schindler-equivalent in geology. 🧵

9. END. Sorry for the weird numbering...Want to know more? 👉 www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/press/new...

8. What’s #next? 1) estimating #FloodMagnitude (volume water) -> hydrological models. 2) Identifying relevant climate modes -> climate models. 3) Elucidating #rainfall dynamics on annual-centennial timescales -> paleo-records & #models (PMIP4 protocols!) #paleoclimates

7. Why is that #important to know? 1) warmer climates will lead to an increase in regional variability design #infrastructure (flood protection). 2) knowing #pacemakers #predicting extreme #floods early-warning systems in #vulnerable regions.

6. These were also found in records of past #Nile levels from ancient Egyptians during the #CommonEra (so-called #Nilometer records) -> stationarity of climatic forcing/#teleconnections under different climates

5. We also detected climatic #pacemakers: El Nino Southern Oscillation #ENSO (<10 yr timescales) and multi-decadal oscillations (50-100 yr)

3. We used a #varved sediment core from offshore the Nile mouth to reconstruct past #Nile floods during the #GreenSahara -> we observe much stronger #floods AND a higher variability of floods @varveswg

2. Wetter intervals of the geological past (e.g., North African Humid Periods or #GreenSahara phases) are useful (partial) #analogues

1. 2. #Warmer climates will lead to enhanced #rainfall in the African #monsoon region

1. Amongst the doom (I voted for the French parliament yesterday...), one bright spot: new #OpenAccess paper in @NatureGeosci out! Our driving question: How will big river systems respond to enhanced rainfall? Thread 🧵👇 @gfz.bsky.social #REKLIM www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sunday cycling on the #autobahn! Great mood, great fun, great #Sternfahrt! Thanks @adfcberlin.bsky.social 😎

NEW: Ryanair is Europe’s top polluting airline for a third year in a row. While legacy airlines are still responsible for the biggest chunk of aviation emissions, budget carriers are polluting more than ever. See the full ranking ➡️ www.transportenvironment.org/discover/low...

Interested in spending some time in my lab here in Tucson? Applications are now open for the next round of the Haury Fellowships (ltrr.arizona.edu/fellowships) - deadline is May 15th, 2024 for potential visits between September 2024 and May 2026! Get in touch!

And… arrived! Not much sleeping in the #nightjet so will need coffee today at #egu24! @eurogeosciences.bsky.social bring it on! #traintoegu @gfz.bsky.social

First step of the #TrainToEgu @eurogeosciences.bsky.social from #berlin #zehlendorf to get the #nightjet to #vienna 😎
