Excited to share our new collaborative paper with @vanvillegas.bsky.social! 🧪

Proud to have contributed through the Envi Mineralogy & Biogeochemistry Labs @lianegbenning.bsky.social & @forjanes.bsky.social.
Just published my first paper from my PhD project! 🔬

Here, we show that nanoplastics—those tiny, pervasive pollutants—can alter the microbiome of Daphnia, a keystone freshwater organism.

How often and how severe will future #droughts be? And how well can climate models simulate them?

Our new paper by Klara Middendorf together with colleagues from @gfz.bsky.social. We use #GRACE satellite #gravity data to evaluate drought events in climate model simulations.

🌊 Jan–Feb 2025, earthquake swarms shook Santorini. A study by @gfz.bsky.social & @geomarkiel.bsky.social explains why. 🌋 Magma from a reservoir beneath Kolumbo intruded as a ~13 km dike, triggering the quakes. Data reveal a link between Santorini and Kolumbo systems.

Last week Linda & Johannes from @gfz.bsky.social visited to scan the forest around the @icos-ri.eu EC flux mast with a LIDAR drone. All went well, so they scanned the young stand at the @lufluxes.bsky.social EC mast too.

For our English speaking community: Our school lab is part of the Federal Government’s Open Day, showing experiments for kids and other interested people. The experiment shows how a caldera is formed.
Beim Tag der offenen Tür der #Bundesregierung kamen gestern >4500 Menschen ans #BMFTR - viele von ihnen waren auch bei uns am Stand unseres #Schülerlabor |s. Wir zeigten Experimente zum Mitmachen, z.B. ließen wir einen #Vulkan -Krater einstürzen, eine Caldera entstand. Heute geht’s bis 17 Uhr weiter
