New npj Biodiversity paper: ecological thresholds for stream‑fish management 💧. Mapped vulnerability across ~1.73M reaches in the US+Europe and built a Decision Support System combining thresholds with protected‑area coverage to target conservation vs restoration. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Happy to share our new paper on restoring free‑flowing rivers in Europe: expert input from 45 countries identified 27 priorities. Priorities shift by focus (ecology, community, economics, governance). Framework links barrier removal, connectivity, governance and policy🌍 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s432...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

What a great success - a must read for all river lovers

In Frankreich müssen Parkplätze bis 10.000qm ab Juli 2028 und Parkplätze über 10.000qm ab Juli 2026 per Gesetz mit PV-Anlagen überdacht werden, sonst drohen Strafen von 40.000€/Jahr. Bis zu 11GW grüner Strom könnten so erzeugt werden, was ca. 10 AKWs entspricht. Warum gibt es das in 🇩🇪 noch nicht?
