#Bewässerung: Agroscope hat eine Methode zur Schätzung der Verbrauchsmengen entwickelt. Fazit: Ohne #Klimaschutz könnte der Bewässerungsbedarf bis 2100 um gut 20% steigen 👇
Wieviel Wasser braucht die Schweizer Landwirtschaft zur Bewässerung? - Agrarforschung Schweiz
Zahlen zur landwirtschaftlichen Wassernutzung für Bewässerung sind in der Schweiz bislang sehr lückenhaft. Agroscope hat deshalb im Auftrag des Bundesamts für Umwelt eine Methode zur Schätzung der Ver...

Preprint‼️
A study by our group members, @marit-vantiel.bsky.social & @matthias-huss.bsky.social, shows glacier melt in 2022 sustained streamflow during drought. But with glacier retreat, meltwater supply is declining, raising concerns for future droughts. 💧🌍

#Weltwassertag 💧 Wasserknappheit ist weltweit ein hochrelevantes Thema. Ohne #Wasser keine Ernten! Deshalb trägt auch die Landwirtschaft besondere Verantwortung für ressourcenschonende Wassernutzung, wenn z.B. aufgrund der Klimakrise der Bewässerungsbedarf steigt. #WorldWaterDay

While reducing CO2 is crucial, it’s not the only critical goal. We must also restore balance across other #planetaryboundaries, says PIK's Johan Rockström: "We need to return to the safe space for pollutants, nitrogen, phosphorus, land, freshwater and biodiversity."

Renewables won’t save us from climate catastrophe, experts warn; what will?
In 2022, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres declared that the “lifeline of renewable energy can steer [the] world out of climate crisis.” In saying so, he echoed a popular and tantalizing idea: t...

Many of the tools we use to predict climate risks share the same massive blind spot. In this crackerjack op-ed, my friend and colleague Toby Ault explains how natural climate variability will undoubtably lead us into more extreme scenarios than what we'd expect from climate models.
Natural variability in the climate system can amplify or counteract human-driven trends, potentially leading to more extreme outcomes than the models suggest.

"How climate models could be underestimating drought," by Toby Ault.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.
