Our forest eddy covariance flux station DE-Lue was born today! Thanks to everyone who shared tips (I had never set up a 30 m flux tower before), our enthusiastic stakeholders who pushed the project forward, and my fantastic (dream) team that made this possible! Can't wait to share more soon 😊

📢 Excited to share our new paper: We compared the effects of three major droughts🌡️ (2003, 2018, 2022) on European forests, separating soil versus atmospheric drought and uncovering new insights into the vulnerability of different forest types 🌳🌲: bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/...

Effect of the 2022 summer drought across forest types in Europe

Abstract. Forests in Europe experienced record-breaking dry conditions during the summer of 2022. The direction in which various forest types respond to climate extremes during their growing season is...

A new paper led by Sebastian Sippel just appeared in Nature arguing that ocean temperature measurements in the early 20th century have a cold bias. It's a fun story illustrating the process of scientific discovery, so let me talk about it a bit. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Early-twentieth-century cold bias in ocean surface temperature observations - Nature

Independent statistical reconstructions of the global mean surface temperature from either ocean or land data show that existing estimates of early-twentieth-century ocean surface temperatures are too...
