New paper from our group in Environmental Research Communications!

🌳We emphasise the importance of short vegetation in urban cooling and highlight the overestimation of cooling effects when assessments rely solely on land surface temperature.

🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Sinikka Paulus (@spaulus.bsky.social) ! 🎓

This past September, Sinikka successfully defended her PhD thesis titled:

"A Novel Framework for Assessing the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Soil Water Vapor Adsorption Using a Global Observation Network"!

💡 I had the opportunity to speak with LATEST THINKING (lt.org) about ongoing work throughout my PhD that incorporates societal and health responses into natural hazard risk assessments.

🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Chunhui Zhan! 🎓

This past Monday, Chunhui successfully defended her PhD thesis titled:

"The Effect of Elevated Atmospheric CO2 on the Terrestrial Carbon and Water Cycle"!

🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Melissa Ruiz-Vásquez! 🎓

This past July, Melissa successfully defended her PhD thesis titled:

"Exploring the potential of land surface information to improve subseasonal temperature forecast skills."
A huge congratulations on this achievement!

New paper from our group in Earth System Dynamics!

We find geopotential height is the main driver of hot extremes. ☀️ Surface net radiation and evaporative fraction are secondary daily drivers, while 🪁 wind dominates weekly.

Exciting workshop ahead for some of our group members in Monte Verita next week 02.03 - 07.03:
“Missing links in drought research: linking plant physiology, soil hydrology, and climate science across scales”💦🌳
Thanks to the organizers of this great event!
Join us at our contributions!

We are excited to share the successful defence of Metin Ilke Özcan’s Master's thesis, titled 'Quantifying Impact-Relevant Timescales of Droughts on Vegetation.' The research explores the importance of selecting appropriate timescales and definitions when assessing drought impacts. 🌳🌲

We would like to share a recent paper from group alumni, Wantong Li, entitled "Disentangling Effects of Vegetation Structure and Physiology on Land–Atmosphere Coupling" published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social ! 🌍🌿
