CRC 1502 DETECT
@crc1502-detect.bsky.social
DETECT studies how changes in land use and water management by humans modify the local and regional water, energy and carbon cycles. Part of https://bsky.app/profile/unibonn.bsky.social www.sfb1502.de
🗺️Why B04 matters: #CRC1502 DETECT develops probabilistic land-use maps and models of crop choice & land-use management—combining Bayesian uncertainty methods, EO data and economic modelling. B04 maps support irrigation and climate modelling. 🎥 sfb1502.de/resources/vi... 🌎 sfb1502.de/projects/clu...
On our ~40 km journey this morning, with @aquasong.bsky.social and 3more colleagues, along the Rhine River to the @crc1502-detect.bsky.social retreat 2026 🚲🚴🚲🚴🚲
🏅 Publication recognition: Baca Cabrera et al.’s #CRC1502 C02 paper “Root hydraulic properties” was recognized by Wiley/Plant Direct among the journal’s top-cited & top-viewed papers in 2025—highlighting plant-water research across scales. Congratulations! Well deserved! 📄 doi.org/10.1002/pld3...
🌾💧 New #CRC1502 publication from #C02/#B04: Behrend et al. show modern winter wheat cultivars transpire 17% less water than historical cultivars across Europe—highlighting how breeding shapes crop water use & land–atmosphere feedbacks under changing climate conditions too. 📄 doi.org/10.1038/s442...
🛰🌍 Why B03 matters: B03 PI @ribana.bsky.social leads #CRC1502 DETECT using deep learning with Sentinel-2/Landsat data to classify land cover from sparse labels, supporting uncertainty-aware EO products for climate and land-surface research. 🎥 sfb1502.de/resources/vi... 🌎 sfb1502.de/projects/clu...
🌾💧New #CRC1502 publication from #C02: Baca Cabrera et al. show how root anatomical gradients and cultivar differences shape hydraulic properties in German winter wheat, linking root anatomy & water uptake for crop resilience under changing water availability & drier years. 📄 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...
🌍 Why B02: it studies how anthropogenic aerosols, land use & desert dust influence moisture—linking other projects of #CRC1502 DETECT with CMIP7/AerChemMIP2 modelling, dust simulations and observations in North Africa for climate assessment. 📄 doi.org/10.5194/gmd-... 🌎 sfb1502.de/projects/clu...
🌊 Why SWOT matters: #CRC1502 B01 uses SWOT-derived WSE, discharge, slope & storage for inland-water monitoring. Off-nadir SAR improves WSE, while multi-mission data + GNSS-IR support extremes monitoring and Cal/Val. 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.jh... 🎥 sfb1502.de/resources/vi... 🌎 sfb1502.de/projects/clu...

🌍 Kicking off our 2025 Conference Throwback series with post #1: In June, #CRC1502 DETECT’s D01 work was presented at the 28th Annual Conference on Global Economic Analysis (GTAP 2025) in Kigali, Rwanda. The discussion connected scenario development, land-use modelling & applications in West Africa.
