We wish our followers a wonderful start into the year 2026 with success, health, and happiness!

See you again next year : )
The picture shows a shallow river with foaming waves in a rocky landscape. In the background grey clouds and a nice rainbow. The picture was taken on Iceland and is part of our GFZ calendar. (By the way: the German posting shows the other half of the rainbow)

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.

D👇| Turning Smartphones into Earthquake Sensors: Thousands of mobile phone accelerometres provide data that enable a new step for high resolution shake-maps and safer cities. This is shown by Fabrice Cotton et al in a new study based on a Citizen Science initiative in Campi Flegrei.
Read more 👇
Detail of a map of the Phlegraean Fields near Naples in Italy: red dots mark smartphone sensors, yellow triangles mark fixed seismological stations. Location of 29 seismological stations and 8,151 citizens' smartphones participating in the Earthquake Network (EQN) citizen science initiative on 8 June 2024 in the red zone of Campi Flegrei. The EQN smartphone network is of high density and covers areas of the red zone where no stations are installed. This allows the variability of the ground shaking to be captured at a higher spatial resolution over the entire red zone. Map: CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, Finazzi et al.
