TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Come work with us!!!

The global species extinction rate is 10 to 100 times higher than the historical average, accelerating due to human actions, as noted in the @‌ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment. 🏭 Since 1500, at least 680 vertebrate species, like the Pinta Giant Tortoise, have been lost.🐢 Conservation is vital #ForNature.

Im Vorfeld des #Weltbodentag findet in Berlin die #KBU-Tagung „Faszination Mikrobiom“ statt. Im Fokus stehen Bodenmikrobiom, Bodengesundheit sowie die Zusammenhänge zwischen Boden, Pflanzen, Ernährung und menschlicher Gesundheit. #Bodenschutz #Mikrobiom #DBG #Umweltbundesamt

🌱Happy International #Soil Day! We'd like to highlight an incredible #paper in the journal SOIL by Raza et al. (2025), titled “Missing the input: the underrepresentation of plant physiology in global soil carbon research.” 🧵Read more in this #GeoLog : egu.eu/4LE7VG 📸Antonio Jordán on #imaggeo

🌱💛 Happy #InternationalSoilDay! A little love today for the soils that feed us, ground us, and surprise us with how alive they are 🪱 From all of us at EGU SSS: keep exploring, keep caring, and keep your hands a little dirty. #SoilLove #SoilScience #EGU #EGUSSS

❓Did you know that #soil is a dynamic #ecosystem that supports 95% of all the food we eat, filters every drop of our drinking water? Up to 90% of the planet’s land surface could be degraded by 2050😮. What can be done to address this? Read our #GeoLog to learn more: egu.eu/5K6B6K
