Building new #rain-out shelters in our #ecodrought #water #isotope project tracing #rootwater uptake. Will be an intersting year with the ongoing #heat wave. As politics keeps ignoring #climatechange, science must speak up. With our PhD Franzi Geuchen, @simonhaber.bsky.social and Markus Weiler.

Exciting research environment in a great team and a lovely working space
