🌍 Exciting day at #SeoulNationalUniversity! 🇰🇷 Dr. HyeJin Kim and I shared our vision for Korea's #NatureFutures, exploring how land use, economic development, #biodiversity, & #ClimateAction can shape a sustainable future. @WSL_research, @WSL_DME,
Had an excellent exchange with the National Assembly Futures Institute (NAFI), the think tank of South Korea’s National Assembly. Together, we aim to build resilient, sustainable future scenarios for Korea. #NAFI #FutureofKorea #NationalAssembly @WSL_research @WSL_DME
🌏 Honored to participate in the DMZ Open ECOPEACE FORUM in Goyang, South Korea , where we explored how ecology can play a vital role in fostering peace on the Korean Peninsula. #EcoPeace #DMZ #ClimateResilience #Biodiversity #KoreanPeninsula @WSL_research @WSL_DME

Despite island radiations being well studied, the modes of #Speciation are not fully understood. Here the most diverse Canary Island plant, Aeonium, is investigated for allopatric & sympatric speciation!

Congratulations to @LiuYi_eco for successfully defending his dissertation on the global drivers of mountain plant biodiversity today! #PhDone

Shock to the system 🥶
Unusually strong cold is pouring south out of the Arctic into Europe right now. This is an ideal setup for deep fresh snow accumulations in the Alps and flooding in Central Europe.
This is about as cold as it gets this early in September.

Guter Hintergrundartikel von @EstherWidmann zur Entstehung der Roten Listen und dem Zustand der #Biodiversität in @NZZWissen.
Kaum ein anderes Land überwacht seine #Biodiversität so systematisch und flächendeckend wie die Schweiz. Der Aufwand ist immens – aber er lohnt sich: Am Ende steht ein breit abgestützter wissenschaftlicher Konsens. @bafuCH nzz.ch/wissenschaft/biodiver…

Exzellent recherchiert und geschrieben: Fakten werden verdreht, relativiert, die Folgen geleugnet. Dabei ist der schlechte Zustand der Biodiversität wissenschaftlich breit belegt und notwendige Massnahmen zur Verbesserung sind klar!

Using #CHELSA-TraCE21k #paleoclimate data to analyze pollen records from Slovenia and Croatia we show how #climate shifts and human activity shaped the vegetation of the Northern Dinaric Karst over the last 10,000 years. @WSL_DME @WSL_research link.springer.com/book/10.10…
Using #CHELSA #climatedata we assess how 21st-century #climatechange impacts #hydrology in high-mountain catchments across #CentralAsia, providing critical insights for managing water resources in a region facing significant #climate_risks. @H2O_SOL link.springer.com/article/10…

Ohne Natur können wir nicht existieren. Es braucht daher viel mehr politischen Willen, um den Artenverlust in Österreich zu stoppen. Besonders von der nächsten Regierung! #biodiversity
Higher resolution #climate data boosts 🌨️#snow cover❄️accuracy in models by up to 52%! This shows the importance of fine-scale climate in #climatechange impact studies, especially in 🏔️mountainous regions like Switzerland. @WSL_DME @WSL_research @SLFDavos doi.org/10.5194/esd-15-1073-…
🌿#Cloud_forests🌱, nestled in the #mountains "Goldilocks zone" with constant water supply and moderate temperatures, are some of the most #biodiversity rich ecosystems on Earth. @WSL_DME @WSL_DME

Starkniederschläge und Worst-Case Szenarien

The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset.

Ausser dass das ich das nicht gesagt habe. Die EU will Verbrenner verbieten.
Das ganze Interview geht um Lösungen, um Anreize, um Lenkungsabgaben, um Innovation.
Aber ich weiss, das interessiert @PhGut @Weltwoche nicht.

A 27-month postdoc position is open at the University of Bologna with Francesco Maria Sabatini for our Biodiversa+ MOTIVATE project (Monitoring Of Terrestrial habitats by Integrating Vegetation Archive Time series in Europe).

Why time is important in #SDM. @ZurellLab review how #phenology & demographic stages can affect #niche estimates. Explicitly considering temporal components of the niche improve #mechanistic understanding👇
