Fitz Roy (3406 m), Patagonia — this is why I carry a camera everywhere. Clouds forming, breaking, and racing past the peaks, the drama shifting every minute.
This is why I shoot timelapse.

Tonight’s lunar eclipse, partly hidden by alpine peaks and drifting clouds. Still lucky enough to capture fragments of the Moon’s journey. 🌒🌕🌘

❄️ Glaciers. 🌲 Forests. 🌊 Lakes. ⛰️ Summits.
This 30s trailer shows how I turn research into powerful visuals. Produced for LTSER Tyrolean Alps (University of Innsbruck).

I have spent another two days in the mountains at Naturpark Ötztal to follow scientists that mapped vegetation at the 3497m high Mt. Schrankogel. And yes, I had an official permit to go camping. ⛺🌌 Camped under the Milky Way during the Perseid meteor shower.
📸 Film coming soon :-)

❄️ Visited #Hintereisferner for a video project — a #glacier in Tirol’s Naturpark Ötztal ranging from 2,500–3,750 m.
It holds one of the world’s longest records of glacier mass balance, a key to understanding climate change in the Alps.

Rainy weekend? 🌧️ Grab a UV light and explore!
These isopods under a lichen patch glow blue, red is likely chlorophyll‑a fluorescence. This photo is a stack of 400 RAW images! ✨🪲💡

Pollinators are in global decline—yet we depend on their ecosystem services, from healthy ecosystems to food security. Visualizing them shows what’s disappearing—and why we must act to protect them. 🌸 Protect pollinator habitats, protect our future.

Looking at the chart below, such hikes might soon be less of a choice — and more of a habit.

Today we escaped the heat by hiking 1300m uphill in the Tyrolean Alps. This view never gets old 😍

From on the glacier to inside the glacier — another great day of science communication with @austrianpolar.bsky.social
We talked about glacier ecology, climate change, and why these icy environments are so important. Visual storytelling makes a difference.

⚽ After the #ChampionsLeagueFinal in Munich (#PSG 5–0 #Inter), a thought experiment:
A 420 m cube on the Allianz Arena pitch ≈ 3 million m³ — the glacier/rock debris that buried Blatten (CH).
Understand scale. Demand action.
