This week is the European Geosciences Union conference. It is held in Vienna, which has one of the longest observed timeseries of temperature anywhere in the world. Vienna has warmed by around 2°C since 1775, with most warming occurring in the last 70 years. #EGU23 #ShowYourStripes

New times in terms of global trait data harvesting with respect to scale & approach (citizen science). Sophie Wolfs talk at the #EGU23. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Leaf angles affect reflectance -- thus vegetation indices! Teja Kattenborns talks at the #EGU23 about angle cams shows promising results to account for these. doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

Another day, another record for the North Atlantic. Everything is happening so fast, it's hard to get a sense of the enormity of these anomalies, let alone their consequences.

We just had a powerful welcome at the New Phytologist Next Generation Meeting in Singapore. Thanks to the organisers, questions by the delegates as well as the multi-perspective answers from the panelists. [Photo is merged :)] #npnextgen

Kudos to Lee Ming Yang for his talk at the #npnextgen.

New preprint: A fast-slow trait continuum at the level of entire communities' led by Margot Neyret Found by combining expert knowledge with trait data for >2800 above- and belowground taxa from 14 trophic guilds in the Biodiversity Exploratories Research plots. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🌍🔬 Explore heat extremes at Leipzig University's Institute for Meteorology! We have an open PhD position to investigate and attribute heat waves, and to better understand their changing drivers 🌡️. Combine single-forcing model ensembles, observations, and statistics/ML...
