Last month, @hyclimm.bsky.social held another #Dischmá Day at the @slfdavos.bsky.social to discuss ongoing and future field campaigns in the Dischmá Valley, a high altitude alpine catchment. We had great discussions on insights, challenges and the exciting research going on in mountain regions!

Doctoral Researcher in river water temperature
As part of the Diversity Comittee at @slfdavos.bsky.social , I want to celebrate Pride this month: discuss and educate people to make science a better, safer and more inclusive place for queer people. 🌈 How do you make group culture welcoming? How do you make fieldwork accessible for queer peope?
🌈 Unsere Forschung ist so vielfältig wie wir 🍁🍂🌻🪲🌲❄️🌆🐜🪵🌊🌺🪨 Our research is as diverse as we are – Happy Pride!🌈 @slfdavos.bsky.social
How do we revitalise streams to create environments, that work as flood protection, ecosystem for fish, beavers and insects, water retention and as a space for urban communities to relax? Can one stream do all that? @boku-ihg.bsky.social #liesingbach #fieldsite #watertemperature #revitalisation
🥶With streams freezing around #Davos I am really wondering how my #watertemperature sensors are holding up in #Dischma this winter! Fingers crossed I still get some meaningful measurements this spring🤞

HYCLIMM at IMC 2025! Last week, HYCLIMM members @mariagrundmann.bsky.social, Joren Janzing, and Raul Wood attended the International Mountain Conference in Innsbruck. Stay tuned for upcoming papers! #IMC2025 #HYCLIMM #ClimateResearch #MountainHydrology @usyseth.bsky.social @slfdavos.bsky.social
Just Launched 📢 The WMO’s 2024 State of Global Water Resources Report is now available! In 2024, the water cycle has become increasingly erratic and extreme, swinging between deluge and drought. This is the #StateOfWater. Read the report 🔗 https://bit.ly/469OBWU
📈 Yesterday I presented my first results of my #fieldstudy in #Dischma investigating variability of #watertemperature in an Alpine catchment at #IMC2025! 🏔️How far downstream can we still see the cooling effects of meltwater from snow and ice? @slfdavos.bsky.social @imc2025.bsky.social #hyclimm
Congrats to Isabella Anglin at #IMC25 @imc2025.bsky.social talking about her fantastic work on testing new methods to understand sublimation processes over snowpack!
Learning, connecting, and exploring hydrology in action! 🌊 @mariagrundmann.bsky.social & @cchartierrescan.bsky.social took part in the 16th Catchment Science Summer School at the University of Birmingham and came back with a lot of new insights and inspiration! ✨
😍 Had a blast at the 16th Catchment Science Summer School! #catchsci25 Last week I went to @unibirmingham.bsky.social to learn about 👀 perceptual models, ⛰️advances from field studies today and back in the day, and 👩🏫👩🏫👩🏫learned a lot from a whole range of amazing teachers and professors. [1/?]
It was really cool getting some advice on my ongoing field study in #Dischmá last week! Planning this field campaign to study #riverwatertemperature is one of the biggest challenges in my PhD so far and I am glad I get some experienced guidance and some new ideas to explore after our discussions!
Last week, James Kirchner, @harshberia.bsky.social and @mfhydro.bsky.social visited us in Davos to discuss the ongoing field study of river water temperature and their study on river isotopes! Thanks for the nice discussions! #dischma @manuelaibrunner.bsky.social @mariagrundmann.bsky.social
👋 Hi, we are HYCLIMM – Hydrology & Climate Impacts in Mountain Regions – a research group at @slfdavos.bsky.social & @ethz.ch . We study #water & #climateextremes in mountains under #globalchange! ↪️ We’ll share updates on our work & team led by @manuelaibrunner.bsky.social
Back from holiday, I finally have time to show you this: I am so happy I got the chance by @hs.egu.eu to talk about how a #watertemperature community would benefit research. As a young scientist, I am looking forward to becoming part of a group! blogs.egu.eu/divisions/hs...

It’s nice to be at #EGU25 with people that take science seriously, but it’s also weird to be here when science is under assault in the US. I’m currently in a talk by a NASA climate scientist who wasn’t allowed to attend the meeting and the talk had to be given by a Norwegian colleague. 😩
Starting soon! Join us for: How to translate fundamental research into societal and policy impact at Room E1 👉 See you there: https:/https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/54295
