Wenn ich sehe, wie haarsträubend respektlos Anthony Fauci vom US-Kongress behandelt wird, als hätte er etwas Verbrecherisches getan, frage ich mich: Wie wollen die USA jemals wieder fachlich kompetente Menschen für öffentliche Aufgaben gewinnen? Genau diese Stimmung ist, was Staaten scheitern lässt.
Question: do I know anyone near Nantes who would be willing to pick up a dead gull-billed tern and its logger? L49 has sadly been killed near a road. I’d be very grateful for a picture and the logger and would of course reimburse postage.
## Neuer Hitzerekord in Österreich ## 40,8° werden jetzt um 14:40 Uhr in Wien Stammersdorf gemessen. Eine so hohe Temperatur wurde in Österreich noch nie gemessen. Der alte Rekord: 40,5° Der Messwert muss noch offiziell validiert werden, später wird es aber ohnehin noch heißer.
The existing ever measured Austrian 2 m air temperature record (40.5 °C in Bad Deutsch-Altenburg) has just been broken in Stammersdorf (Vienna). And this is not the end...

A new research chapter begins: in the last two weeks, polar fieldwork at @uni-graz.at Sermilik station in Greenland 🇬🇱. We did a huge UAV survey to study vegetation, glaciers, GLOFS, icebergs, DOMs & start our new biogeomorphology project led by @biogeomorph.bsky.social A dream (wait for the whale):

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.
Mike Boylan-Kolchin@mbkplus.bsky.social · 4mo agoGPS satellites move at 1/100000 the speed of light, causing their clocks to tick slower by 7 microseconds per day, and orbit at a height that makes their clocks tick faster by 45 microseconds per day. Two relativistic effects, both at the 1 part in 10 billion level, both essential for GPS accuracy 🧪
For how much longer will it be possible to carry out national 'glacier inventories'? 🔥🧊 The latest Austrian glacier inventory (AGI 5, mostly representing 2023) shows that glaciers cover 285 km² and that 129 km² were lost since AGI 3 (~2010)! 📈😲 A third lost in less than two decades! 😱

I'm honored to share that I didn't post some nonsense to LinkedIn humble-bragging about something that isn't particularly noteworthy.

Ewiges Eis auf Glockner schrumpft weiter
Die Pasterze auf dem Großglockner schmilzt immer mehr – das bestätigen Geografen der Universität Graz. Sie führten diese Woche dort die jährlichen Gletschermessungen durch. Die Gletscherzunge droht in naher Zukunft abzureißen.
