New paper from our group in Environmental Research Communications! 🌳We emphasise the importance of short vegetation in urban cooling and highlight the overestimation of cooling effects when assessments rely solely on land surface temperature. Read more at: doi.org/10.1088/2515...

🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Sinikka Paulus (@spaulus.bsky.social) ! 🎓 This past September, Sinikka successfully defended her PhD thesis titled: "A Novel Framework for Assessing the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Soil Water Vapor Adsorption Using a Global Observation Network"!

💡 I had the opportunity to speak with LATEST THINKING (lt.org) about ongoing work throughout my PhD that incorporates societal and health responses into natural hazard risk assessments. 👉 Full interview available here: doi.org/10.21036/LTP...

🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Chunhui Zhan! 🎓 This past Monday, Chunhui successfully defended her PhD thesis titled: "The Effect of Elevated Atmospheric CO2 on the Terrestrial Carbon and Water Cycle"!

🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Melissa Ruiz-Vásquez! 🎓 This past July, Melissa successfully defended her PhD thesis titled: "Exploring the potential of land surface information to improve subseasonal temperature forecast skills." A huge congratulations on this achievement!

Here is a new starter pack with present and past members of the ETH LandClim group! @lukasgudmundsson.bsky.social @fuldenbatibeniz.bsky.social @yasserhaddad.bsky.social @bask0.bsky.social @ryanpad.bsky.social @yannquilcaille.bsky.social @michaelgwindisch.bsky.social go.bsky.app/HnUskbh

New paper from our group in Earth System Dynamics! We find geopotential height is the main driver of hot extremes. ☀️ Surface net radiation and evaporative fraction are secondary daily drivers, while 🪁 wind dominates weekly. Read more at: doi.org/10.5194/esd-...

Happening NOW! Come check out Sinikka Paulus' poster "Assessing the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Soil Water Vapor Adsorption Using a Global Observation Network" 💧🌍 @egu.eu #EGU25

Good Wednesday Morning #EGU25! First up, Rene Orth will be presenting their work with Hao Huang on water balance consistency across datasets💧🌱 This afternoon check out @kdepolt.bsky.social convening the short course on ECR engagement and empowerment in research projects 📖💬 @egu.eu @hs.egu.eu

We are looking forward to Day 2 of #EGU25 with posters in the @egubg.bsky.social session "Impacts of climatic extremes on plants and ecosystems across scales" 🌳☀️💧 👇Check out the schedule below👇 @chunhuizhan.bsky.social @piamueller.bsky.social

At #EGU25 and interested in how seasonal vegetation cycles in Europe shift spatially over time? 🌍🌲🌳 Come check out Juliane Brügelmann's poster this afternoon (16:15-18:00) in Hall X5 spot X5.182 @egu.eu

We’re heading to #EGU25! 🚲🚆🧳 🌱💧☀️ Catch our latest work across biogeosciences, hydrologic sciences, natural hazards, and climate. Come by our presentations and sessions to connect and exchange ideas! Happy to connect even if you can’t be there! 💬 @egu.eu @egubg.bsky.social @hs.egu.eu @nh.egu.eu

Exciting workshop ahead for some of our group members in Monte Verita next week 02.03 - 07.03: “Missing links in drought research: linking plant physiology, soil hydrology, and climate science across scales”💦🌳 Thanks to the organizers of this great event! Join us at our contributions!

We are excited to share the successful defence of Metin Ilke Özcan’s Master's thesis, titled 'Quantifying Impact-Relevant Timescales of Droughts on Vegetation.' The research explores the importance of selecting appropriate timescales and definitions when assessing drought impacts. 🌳🌲

We would like to share a recent paper from group alumni, Wantong Li, entitled "Disentangling Effects of Vegetation Structure and Physiology on Land–Atmosphere Coupling" published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social ! 🌍🌿 Read more: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Hello BlueSky! 👋🦋 We're excited to be here! Stay tuned for updates from our group, and we can’t wait to connect and grow with the community here. 🌧️🌲☀️
