In developing a re-usable workflow for my teaching in Applied Geodata Science, I re-implemented the creation of this animation: The dance of global mean temperature and atmospheric CO2 reconstructions from ice core data, and (seamlessly extending) Earth system model simulations for the future.

Incredible ice loss measured again at #Konkordiaplatz on the #Aletsch #Glacier, home to the thickest ice in the #Alps (still about 800 m!). Yesterday’s survey revealed another –4.6 m of ice gone in just one year. :( Measurements by @matthias-huss.bsky.social for GLAMOS

I'm super happy that the University of Bern has given me the trust and is expecting to keep me on board until the end of days, a.k.a. to give me tenure. I'm grateful for having the privilege to study and teach what is close to my heart - climate impacts on ecosystems and the global carbon cycle.

💧🌿How does soil moisture shape the land carbon sink? Catch up on highlights from our latest science seminar for new research on plant water stress, ET and GPP under drought conditions. #soilmoisture #evapotranspiration #carboncycle @stineb.bsky.social ➡️🔗 research.reading.ac.uk/lemontree/le...

How does photosynthesis respond to changing temperatures? In the paper led by Pascal Schneider, we show that the thermal acclimation of photosynthesis can be modelled without making assumptions about plant functional types - ready for adoption in ESMs agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Together with Beni Stocker @stineb.bsky.social we have an open postdoc position (2yr with possibility of extension) in coupled Earth system modelling with a focus on dynamic global vegetation modelling. ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jo... Get in touch if you are interested.

#DeadTreeDetective Last year it was Western Australia, this year South Australia is seeing canopy collapse from drought. If you're in SA, please help us figure out how widespread it is!

@1t.org any thoughts on this?

5. A big part of the problem, ironically, is that natural regen is much cheaper/free, so there's less money to be made from it. There's an industrial lobby which profits from planting grim rows of trees in plastic tubes. There is no industrial lobby profiting from letting nature do its thing.

I'm teaching this tutorial on global wetland and peatland modelling at a PhD course in Copenhagen, organised by Guy Schurgers. I hope it's useful also for other interested people... geco-bern.github.io/dyptop_tutor... Have a go and let me know about your thoughts and feedback.

Mit Besorgnis verfolge ich die Entwicklungen beim SRG. Ich bin stark der Meinung, dass in der jetzigen Zeit der Wissenschaftsjournalismus eine kritische Rolle einnimmt einnimmt und eine Säule einer funktionierenden Demokratie ist.

Looking very much forward to the upcoming symposium on past knowledge and future directions in climate and environmental physics, and celebrating the huge scientific contributions of Fortunat Joos, Markus Leuenberger anf Thomas Stocker

Only about two weeks left to apply to the open postdoc position. Get in touch with @stineb.bsky.social or myself, if you are interested.

Together with @fpoeppelmeier.bsky.social, we have an open 2-year postdoc position on Next Generation Bern Earth System Model at University of Bern and the Oeschger Centre. ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jo...

We're lowering the barrier to entry for vegetation modelling. Our open-source modelling framework #rsofun, designed as a #Rstats package with efficient low-level code and a connection to #BayesianTools model calibration, is now on CRAN. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

N affects the C cycle. But how? Although N cycling is now included in many global vegetation models, C cycle trends remain uncertain. We demonstrate how theory predicts widely observed patterns in experiments and traits data - ready for adoption in models. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

A fantastic summary by Sean McMahon of our recently published work on the Grow-Fast-Die-Young hypothesis: doi.org/10.1029/2023AV… Read the full article about how we investigated the links between tree growth and forest biomass here:agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...59

Forecasting drought impacts on vegetation is a guiding challenge. Space and time-aware #deeplearning can learn from Earth Observation data to do this job - a basis for early warning and related forecasting (e.g., crop yields). doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

I'm looking for a Scientific Programmer/Data Scientist to work on a wide diversity of research projects, applying machine learning and data assimilation methods for modelling climate impacts on ecosystems ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jo...
