Excited to share our research at this year’s #EGU25 next week— from forest water fluxes to flood mapping and groundwater stressors. Thanks to @carowinter.bsky.social for pulling together our schedule! Come find us if you’re curious, collaborative, or just passing by.

The takeaway from the StressRes workshop? Technical solutions alone won’t solve groundwater conflicts. What’s missing is a shared understanding of sustainability, clear priorities in times of scarcity, and communication that bridges science, policy, and the public. Learn more: tinyurl.com/StressRes

What did we learn? Sustainable groundwater management is anything but simple. We’re equipped with more information than ever—yet lack a shared understanding of what sustainable use really is. #Grundwasser #Bewässerung #Wasserpolitik #Digitalisierung #StressRes

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

In our Freiburg study, we saw a surprising twist: during droughts, tree pits with 90% surface sealing suffered the worst, with small-leaved lime trees losing 58% of its cooling power.

Our new study in Freiburg shows a twist: even the hardiest trees like Norway maple and small-leaved lime struggle when large impermeable surfaces block their roots. image source: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fr...

Urban trees are nature’s unsung heroes—they cool our cities and help manage water. But what happens when concrete and asphalt surround them? @markusanys.bsky.social image source: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sc...

🚀 New Paper in Hydrology & Earth System Sciences! 🌍💧

We built an open-source device that automates soil water isotope analysis, replacing a tedious manual process! Efficient, accessible, and now open hardware + #OpenAccess.
