SELINA is celebrating its 4th birthday! 🎂🎉 Over the past year, SELINA continued supporting collaboration and knowledge exchange on biodiversity and #EcosystemServices across Europe. 🥂Here's to another year of impact, innovation and shared success!

The 7th #SELINAWorkshop has officially begun, marked by @benjaminburkhard.bsky.social who lead the Opening Ceremony, here in Galway. Now, we are ready for three days of collaboration, knowledge exchange, and presentations highlighting the project's latest developments from the past eight months.

⏳ The countdown is on! The 7th #SELINAWorkshop is just around the corner, and we are excited to welcome partners to Galway, Ireland, for another inspiring week of collaboration, discussions, and knowledge exchange. See you in Galway!

New article: the @project-selina.eu team presents the Framework for Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (FIEA) in @oneecosystem.pensoft.net. The paper shows how a co-created framework can support evidence-based decisions across science, policy, and practice. Link: oneecosystem.pensoft.net/article/192685

Framework for Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (FIEA): A structured approach to support evidence-based decision-making

While numerous ecosystem assessment frameworks have been developed, they often provide valuable insights into and guidelines for assessments from siloed perspectives, addressing ecosystem assessments ...

Field trip to our long-term soil erosion monitoring site as part of our seminar "spatio-temporal ecosystem services analysis and assessment". Thanks to Dr. Bastian Steinhoff-Knopp for the insights on measuring and modelling soil erosion control! #Studying #Teaching #SoilErosion #EcosystemServices

Exploring the effect of #pollen on human #health under #climatechange and #urbanization at this year's Night Out with Science at @unihannover.bsky.social, including pollen symptome mapping, miscroscope observations and a pollen memory. @nadjakabisch.bsky.social #research #education

Phygeo delegation at the 6th workshop of our @selinaproject.bsky.social, hosted by the university of #Trento, Italy, under the theme "Evidence-based decision making in the public sector".

From September 22 to October 2, our department hosted this year’s Summer School together with Yamagata University. Prof. Lopez and ten students from Japan explored Hannover, joined a workshop on Environmental Justice, and visited the Harz region, including Goslar and the Border Museum in Sorge.

In early September Physical Geography students joined a field excursion on “Green-Blue Landscapes of Central Germany,” exploring Leipzig’s urban development, floodplain forest, lignite mining, and urban greening, concluding with a visit to the Bastei in Saxon Switzerland. Here are a few impressions:

Celebrating this year's #graduates from our #studyprogrammes B.Sc. of Geography and M. Sc. Landscape sciences, with presentations of selected #theses and drinks with family and friends🥂🎓 We wish our students all the best and success in the future!

Great start for the UMEX-HOPE project at the kick-off meeting with partners from TU Berlin, TU Braunschweig, TiHo, UMG & GEO-NET! PhyGeo is involved in modeling mosquito habitats & supporting stakeholder integration into health-oriented urban planning. 🌍🏙️⚕️ #UMEXHOPE #ClimateChange #UrbanClimate

Researchers, practitioners and other experts came together during the 2nd German #CommunityofPractice meeting to discuss the implementation of #EcosystemServices, #NaturalCapital and #biodiversity research into decision making #research #practice #experts #network

The Landscape System Analysis project in Northern Finnland took students from Hannover, Joensuu and Tartu to boreal and subarctic regions. There they collected data with UAVs, TLS, GNSS and vegetation surveys. The results will be analyzed during this winter semester.

It's time to appreciate the #PostDocs in our @phygeo-luh.bsky.social team. Of course, not only during the PostDoc Apprecation Week, but all year round 👍 paw-germany.de @unihannover.bsky.social
