Big news arrived today – NESSC's world class research has resulted in a ten-year funding from the NWO Summit grant! The EMBRACER consortium will continue NESSC's research, focussing on the knowledge gap between short-term and long-term climate change. nwo.nl/en/news/from-q…

A new NESSC study shows that groundwater with high concentrations of nitrogen will keep rivers polluted for decades. This is a legacy of past agricultural practices in the twentieth century, when large amounts of fertilisers were used. Read more here: buff.ly/4aU5nIA

Is the ocean a carbon sink or source? It depends, a new NESSC paper shows! Researchers from Nanjing University, together with NESSC researchers Junjie Wang and Jack Middelburg, created the first sink or source world map. Read more here: nessc.nl/storing-carbon… #UUGeo

NESSC is happy to announce the PhD defence of Gerrit Müller (Geosciences UU) on Wednesday November 27 in the Utrecht University Hall! For his PhD, Gerrit studied the role of chemical weathering of rocks, and how it impacts biology and climate change. Read more: buff.ly/3WqVk8F

A new NESSC paper is out! Researcher Katrin Haettig and her colleagues at NIOZ have unravelled a new puzzle piece on alkenone isotopes, which indicates a sensitivity to variable light conditions. Read the paper here: buff.ly/46MnEqZ

Happy to share our latest work on global inland-water nitrogen biogeochemistry and how it changed during the century. NESSC Earth Sciences - Utrecht University Geosciences UU nature.com/articles/s4422…

The breakdown of nitrogen in rivers systems has rapidly accelerated in the 20th century, a new NESSC study by Junjie Wang and colleagues at Geosciences UU shows. These natural processes have accelerated up to three to six times. Read more about the study here: buff.ly/3LWrOmv
