The car is ready and (almost) fully loaded for the #ArcticGreening project‘s field campaign in the Finnmark region of Northern Norway! 🌱 🦠 ⛏️ (no soil emoji, sadly). You can follow their journey and their sampling process on Polar Steps! ✨👉 polarsteps.com/SoilRessources…

The Ukraine is a "war for land and soil" -“soil equals geopolitical influence”, says Sebastian Doetterl ETH Zurich Full interview here: 8point9.com/in-ukraine-soi… #Ukraine #soil #regeneration #geopolitics #climatecrisis #foodsecurity #security

Soil pit digging and greenhouse gas sampling in the #Arctic #tundra never looked this good! ☀️ #ArcticGreening

Do soils influence tree species composition & leaf characteristics in the Ugandan rainforest? To understand processes defining reforestation success, PhD candidate Matt Cooper & Master student Jeremy Cook are looking for answers to these questions in Kibale Forest National Park🌱

Congratulations to Laura Summerauer who just successfully defended her PhD thesis! The thesis examines the effect of #deforestation on #soil redistribution and soil #degradation on #croplands along the steep topography of the East African Rift system.

It was such a pleasure teaching about #soil #greenhouse gas #fluxes at the 1st summer school on tropical resources in beautiful Uganda. Thank you Sebastian Doetterl for bringing us together. Soil Resources Group at ETH Zurich D-USYS@ETH Universität Münster

Coming back from one of the most rewarding activities of my career so far: Our first Summer School on TropicalSoil and Forest Assessment Techniques in Fort Portal, Uganda! Participants and Lecturers from all over Europe and East Africa. tropires.org Some impressions

New paper: PhD student Yiren Li‘s applied incubation experiments, spectroscopic techniques, and microbial activity assays to analyze the speciation distribution, binding modes, and competitive interactions of Pb and Cd in soil. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨 🌡️August will be the warmest month ever recorded in Longyearbyen (Svalbard) at 78°N in the Arctic, reaching an average temperature of 11°C (+-0.1°C). This surpasses even July's records by a large margin, while July is historically the warmest month. Uncharted territory.

Introducing our Soil Profile Collection: A unique educational resource for students ETH Zürich. Each #SoilMonolith showcases the global diversity of soils & the impacts of humans. Stay tuned as we explore the stories of these soils! #SoilProfileCollection #SoilEducation #SoilDiversity

Master‘s student Ralph Holmann is applying the #HeldeyP fractionation and is sequentially isolating phosphate in different crystal forms to investigate its O isotopes from soils of #Svalbard. These analyses will hopefully help us better understand #arctic soil P cycling.

Introducing our #SoilMonoliths focused on #SoilErosion in our #SoilProfileCollection! Only 30 cm of soil is left on the eroded slope, fertile topsoil settled in the valley. This stark contrast shows how centuries of farming shaped these #soils! #SoilEducation #Agriculture ETH Zürich

Digging our next #SoilMonoliths series, focusing on #SoilFormation for our #SoilProfileCollection. A challenging dig through stones in a stunning landscape #Sustenpass revealed a unique soil sequence aging 30-10,000 years! Inspired by Musso et al. (2019) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Long in the making, but finally there: Our new article in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment 🌈 where we present our views on the important role of #soilformation & #landscapecomplexity for understanding #soilcarbon cycling across scales. rdcu.be/d5rAC nature.com/articles/s4301…

To upcoming scholars in #EnvironmentalSciences from the #CongoBasin and neighboring regions. Check out this interesting set of fully funded MSc and PhD scholarship options from our colleagues from the Congo Basin Science Initiative: congobasinscience.net/scholarships/
