🎉 What a journey! After more than 12 years of inspiring, interdisciplinary Critical Zone research, we came together one last time for our AquaDiva Final Symposium.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone! It's been a fantastic time! 💧 #Science #groundwater #community

After 12 years, the final symposium of the CRC AquaDiva took place this Wednesday in Dornburg.
Thanks to everyone who made the day special – for the organization, the contributions, and the scientific exchange.
We ended on a high note with an amazing party to celebrate these incredible years! 🎉

🚀Congratulations to S. Wolf from Prof. T. Frosch's group on successfully defending his doctoral thesis on "Development of fiber-based Raman techniques for biomedical applications" last Friday!

⏳🚀 Last 100 days of Critical Zone research within CRC AquaDiva! The countdown is on, and there’s still so much to do. Exciting, intense, and a little bittersweet—let’s make these last months count! 💪🔬 #AquaDiva #FinalStretch #ScienceInAction #Countdown

Did you know? ❄️💧 Glaciers store 70% of the world's freshwater, but they are melting fast due to climate change. #WorldWaterDay 2025 (22.3.) highlights Glacier Preservation and the urgent need to protect these vital water sources. 🌍 Learn more: un.org #GlacierPreservation #ClimateImpact #WaterCrisis

Our paper "Hydroclimatic extremes threaten groundwater quality and stability" was now featured as one of the 50 best papers recently published in Nature Communications in the field of Earth Science! 🍾

We're happy to be on bluesky now! 💙 We will be sharing our lates news, updates, research highlights, publications, events etc.
In the CRC AquaDiva, we study the influence of the #surface #biodiversity, land use, weather extremes, and #geology on the #subsurface and especially the #groundwater 🌳🪨💧🦠
