We've detected penguin guano stains across Antarctica with cold-war era spy satellites. Remarkably, data from the Cape Washington colony shows exceptional stability, defying decades of environmental change. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Climate stress, irrigation demands, growing cities – the pressure on groundwater is mounting. On April 8, the StressRes project brought together scientists, water utilities, authorities, and farmers in Freiburg to ask: What does “sustainable” actually mean – and who decides? #Wasserressourcen
