Biodegradable plastics are a real asset in many ways. The ones used in agriculture can strongly limit plastic pollution in soil. But what happens when they end up in lake sediments? New paper out, from Carsten Schubert and me! Highlight paper in EGU's BG: doi.org/10.5194/bg-20-4213-2…

An excavator digging into Theodul glacier to prepare for early season ski races - shocking images in Zermatt. Is this the future of alpine skiing in the face of melting glaciers? The absolute wrong path, we need to see more climate action from this industry.

So lovely to see all the old and new SIAM scientists gathered at the North Sea. I had not seen most of them since I finished my PhD in the midst of covid times (so no party or goodbyes!). Exciting anaerobic microbiology daily swimming 😎
A happy conclusion of the 10y #siam2023 symposium of @SIAMmicrobes at the ⛱️ in Egmond aan Zee with the next generation #anaerobic #microbiology scientists

One of my current research topics is on the effect of floodplain soil wetness on methane emissions. Little downside is that that means I also have to sample when it is.. wet. Very wet. 3 days nonstop rain wet.

Back after a great EGU week. Finally met so many Dutch and Swiss colleagues again, after my awkwardly quiet exit due to covid.
We welcome our new #ECS team in #Soil System Sciences: Ikenna Osumgborogwu (@ik_geomorph), Beatrice Giannetta, and Sigrid van Grinsven (@SigridinScience) Get in touch with your Early Career Science representatives here: ecs-sss@egu.eu

Real picture from my Aquatic methods course last week, but almost looks like a brochure illustrating different sediment sampling devices 😄

Snow cover and ground frozen problematic for soil sampling? Advantage of being an undecided aquatic/terrestrial scientist: then I'll just sample the soil profile that the creek build me. Waders on and let's go!

What if we could measure biodegradation of novel chemicals more high-throughput and support the design of better degradable chemicals? If you are as fascinated by this question as I am, join our team as PhD student in Environmental Chemistry. tinyurl.com/ymwx7kyt

After great fieldwork and a lot of data analysis, MSc student Noortje Janssen successfully defended her thesis yesterday at WUR, on CO2 fluxes in proglacial areas. She and I will present this work also at NAC and EGU, so stay tuned!

Hey, Pylake is a python package I developped to compute meaningful physical properties in aquatic sciences (thermocline, metalimnion, Schmidt stability etc) It is optimized for small but also multi-dimensional/big dataset (parallel computing/xarray). github.com/hugocruzz/PyLake
