'Beyond the beach' - we sampled dune valleys on #Sylt in the German Wadden Sea, we study soil formation and the processes that foster soil carbon storage in these coastal ecosystems #soilcarbonstorage #soilformation #bluecarbon #geomorphology @tuberlin.bsky.social @awi.de

Wadden Sea seen from the train, I’m on my way to sample soils together with Josephine Müller and Lasse Sander, studying how geomorphology and vegetation determine soil organic carbon storage in sand dune systems of the Northern Sea #Sylt

How do we decide what grows where? 🌱🧪⚒️ Our new paper analyzes 100 years of land-use history across 3,104 sites in Germany and finds that hydrological properties shape our agricultural landscapes. doi.org/10.1002/jpln... @cwmsoils.bsky.social @thuenen.de #Hydrology #LandUse #Sustainability #Soil

Hydrological Conditions Outweigh Soil Texture, Temperature, and Terrain in German Agricultural Land Use

Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self-sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increa...

Cheers and Congratulations to Yujia Liu - PhD thesis submitted - she worked on a better understanding of denitrification processes at hot-spots in Danish croplands - way to go 💪 @ucph.bsky.social

starting every new month with a group brunch, everyone brings something - loads of delicacies and good coffee 🤩@tuberlin.bsky.social

summer seems endless in Berlin - the view from our lab - pure magic these days 😉

more photo backup...with some favorite sport shots ;)

while adding another backup for all my photos, coming across some polar logistics shots... makes me really looking forward to the next field season up North :D #Antarctica #Arctic #fieldwork #logistics

final project report just submitted, new project proposal ready for submission - sometimes science is just a hamster wheel - let’s call it a week 😓

early birthday present to my group …and me ☺️ From today on, if you visit us, we‘ll have espresso and Co for you, maybe even the professor will do the barista 😉

it’s a cloudy stormy autumn day in Berlin, but at least there’s sunny agriculture socks #urbanfarming

Glienicker Brücke, the old „spy bridge“ between former Eastern and Western Germany always offers a magic view on my daily commute #cycletowork

summer was very productive in our soil science 'art studio' 🥰 - lacquer profiles from the @tuberlin.bsky.social campus in the making #soilart #urbansoil #artefacts

First day back in the lab after the summer feels like birthday presents arrived early 🥳 We now have a second new BET (specific surface area), operated together with @umweltbundesamt.bsky.social and our "IRMS project" from Nuuk, Greenland - both are now waiting for the gasses to be connected 😉
