Wissenschaft ist kein Wunschkonzert der Reichen und Mächtigen, die missliebige Forschung - etwa die Klimaforschung - am liebsten abschaffen und unterdrücken wollen. Deshalb habe ich das Hamburger Manifest unterschrieben. Es ist auch ein Appell an Forscherkollegen.

Accelerated bioclimatic warming in Poland (1951–2023) was analyzed using #recurrence_plot analysis. A phase transition in thermal stress patterns was detected around 1980–1990, revealing increased heat stress and decreased cold stress, with 1990 marking a remarkable shift. doi.org/10.1109/TGRS...

👥 This week, we welcomed Tobias Braun, from the Institute for Earth System Science & Remote Sensing (Leipzig University).

🌏 During his talk today, he discussed the potential of complexity science to bridge the gap between synoptic processes and planetary-scale dynamics.

🙌 Thanks for visiting us!
