🌍 Forschung aus dem Koffer. Klingt ungewöhnlich. Ist aber genau das! Das #OpenScience Projekt #LabOnWheels einer ZALF-Forschungsgruppe reist gerade um die Welt nach #Ghana, #Uganda, #Ruanda, #Benin, #Bolivien & #Syrien www.zalf.de/de/aktue...

🌾🌏 Stickstoffdünger ist wichtig für die Landwirtschaft – aber er belastet das Klima. Auf gedüngten Feldern entsteht Lachgas, das 300-mal stärker wirkt als CO₂. ZALF-Forschende untersuchen, wie viel Treibhausgase Getreidefelder freisetzen. ARTE zeigt ihre Arbeit: 🎬 www.arte.tv/de/video...
#MonksHillLab @zalf.bsky.social Trilogy complete. 1. Build-It-Yourself: Low-Cost Systems for Ecophysiology zenodo.org/records/1962... 2. Building the 'How' of Science doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 3. Scientific Communication Assets zenodo.org/records/1979... No story, just tools. Reuse freely.
@zalf.bsky.social No lab? No Tools? No problem! We present the #MonksHillLab (#ZALF_ECO) "Lab on Wheels", a fully autark (solar powered) maker space allowing to construct (e.g. solder & program) and validate sensors presented in our Handbook (zenodo.org/records/1794...)! Field test follow soon! 🚀
@zalf.bsky.social Finally tested our new "collegue" today, a CNC desktop drill. With it, the capabilities of the "EcoTecAnalytics Lab" of #MonksHillLab (#ZALF_ECO) will advance even more....here alow cost PAR and NDVI Sensor (more details? see: zenodo.org/records/1794...)
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
@zalf.bsky.social New colleague alert! 🚨 The #EcoTecAnalytics_Lab of #ZALF_ECO just leveled up. Our new desktop CNC machine has arrived and started its first shift this week. Ready to build some more cool stuff. 🛠️
Great to see our paper making the cover of @globalchangebio.bsky.social ! With a picture of a long-term experiment in Kenya 🇰🇪 @johansix.bsky.social @cirad.bsky.social @gatienfalconnier.bsky.social @mcorbeels.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
The project will be co-supervised by Maire Holz and myself @zalf.bsky.social as part of @bexplo.bsky.social. You will spend time in the greenhouse and the lab as well as in data synthesis and conceptual thinking. jobs.zalf.de/jobposting/a...

@zalf.bsky.social Sometimes state-of-the-art research relies on state-of-the-1949 engineering. Shoutout to this glorious vintage viscometer, still churning out beautiful data 75 years later. A testament to good design! #MonksHillLab #LabGear #Physics #HistoryOfScience
@zalf.bsky.social busy times in our new EcoTecAnalytics Lab. Hosting guest researcher Therese & Asadhu (Rwanda & Uganda), building rugged, low-cost GHG measurement systems (CH4, CO2 and ET) for their work on agricultural used tropical peatlands (guided by Hauke @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social) #DIY
Nächste Woche Montag geht es weiter mit unserer Vortragsreihe zu neuen Moorlandschaften. Das wird dieses Mal sehr spannend, weil es um eine Frage geht, die auch viele in der Praxis Beteiligte interessiert: Besteht die Gefahr von Nährstoffausträgen? Insbesondere auch für Genehmigende interessant!
Greifswald Mire Centre@greifswaldmoor.bsky.social · 7mo ago💦 Weiter geht’s in der Vortragsreihe „Neue Moorlandschaften“ Am 12. Januar, 18 Uhr spricht Prof. Dominik Zak (Universität Aarhus): Die Revitalisierung von Mooren steht vor einem (lösbaren) Phosphorproblem 📍 #wiko-greifswald in #Greifswald oder online 🔗 tinyurl.com/wetscapes2
Laut Netzwerk-Steuergerechtigkeit gehen uns jährlich bis zu 200 MILLIARDEN Euro durch Steuerhinterziehung und aggressive Steuervermeidung verloren. Geld, mit dem wir die Regelsätze fürs Bürgergeld viermal finanzieren und trotzdem noch erhöhen könnten. Holt das Geld bei den Reichen!
@zalf.bsky.social (#MonksHillLab; #ZALF_ECO) just in time established our new "EcoTecAnalytics Lab" for a nice touching end of 2025. Next year eager to start more low-cost ecophysiological sensor development in that fantastic new environment!!
Just submitted a comment paper to a journal (discover sustainability).They reclassified it as a Review, then rejected it because it “lacks review methodology.” The academic publishing machine: inventing a problem, then penalizing you for it. Peak Kafka.
