Today, I had a lot of fun at my daugther's elementary school, where I talked about the importance of healthy soils and the beauty of soil organisms (which is easy if one has the fantastic photos of @frankashwood.bsky.social). Next generation of soil scientists is secured I hope 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

Dear all (members of the @soilsdbg.bsky.social, of @unituebingen.bsky.social & citizens of #Tübingen):

Happy to announce that our academic celebration event of the #DBG2025 is open for public - offering 2 invited scientific presentations (engl.) & awarding ceremonies (ger).

Feel warmly invited!

One of my favorite parts of the conference 😋. Looking forward to being in Tübingen in 2 days and seeing all my soil science friends (and tasting some yummy 🍰 with them)
To all #DBG2025 participants: We'll again offer our famous "Soil Profile Cake Contest (SPCC):
All conference participants are warmly invited to bake a soil profile cake. Cakes will briefly be presented by their bakers in a “profile description, evaluated by a jury for pedology & tast, and awarded.

Hey @elsevierconnect.bsky.social,
@geoderma.bsky.social is one of my absolute favorite journals, but receiving a review request on a Saturday, 7:01 a.m. and then a reminder on Monday morning 7:14 a.m. ("why haven't you replied in the past 48 h of your weekend???") is beyond annoying 😑.

One of the cool things about Hanover is that within only a few km distance, one can find one of the worst soils of 🇩🇪 (podzol: 21/100 points) and one of the best soils (chernozem: 96/100). Of course, both are equally beautiful 😍, irrespective of how fertile they are

Dear Soil Science friends!
There are so many brilliant geoscientists out there who deserve a recognition for their excellent research (e.g. the Alina Kabata-Pendias Medal of the @egu-sss.bsky.social). If you know somebody who you think should get one of the awards, please nominate them 👇
The EGU Awards & Medals honours #scientists every year for their outstanding #research contribution in the Earth, planetary and space sciences

Nominations are now open until 15 June 2025!

Had a brilliant time at the Baltic Sea the past two days with colleagues from Uni Rostock and my great student Tobias from @unihannover.bsky.social. We measured #biocrust stability in the field and want to find out if we can correlate coastal dune stability with hyperspectral imaging data.
