In this study, we analysed 216 cities around the world and found that trees decrease Universal Thermal Climate Index about 6x more than short vegetation. However, in some regions short vegetation performs similarly. We pinpointed that LST-based measures may overestimate the actual cooling effect.

🎉 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"!

🎉 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!

In this study, we determine the relevance of atmospheric drivers, such as wind, geopotential height, horizontal geopotential height differences, and surface net radiation, and land surface drivers, such as evaporative fraction and enhanced vegetation index, for hot extremes across the globe. 🌱☀️🌍

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. 🌳🌲
