Always great to see 1st day of data from a newly installed eddy covariance system! We just started operation of our new 45 m #ECOSENSE tower - measuring CO2 fluxes from a mixed forest in @dfg_public CRC. Amazing effort by technicians, admins, students & researchers @UniFreiburg.

Using a 3D fibre-optic temperature sensing array in the Namib, we empirically investigated Taylor’s Hypothesis in the atmosphere. In our new article in Boundary-Layer Meteorology we show that small eddies systematically travel slower than large eddies. doi.org/10.1007/s10546-024-0…

New paper in @EGU_GMD on our machine learning model developed @UniFreiburg for mapping heat stress in cities - faster & with comparable accuracy to physical models it enables multi-year simulations at 1m scale for entire cities @freiburg @urbisphere #I4C doi.org/10.5194/gmd-17-1667-…

Indoor climate change? Yes - not only outdoors but also indoors, heat increases and affects health & productivity. Our work @UniFreiburg published in @ClimaticChange_ uses sensors & climate models to assess future heat stress at 100 workplaces @urbisphere link.springer.com/article/10…

Our year-long @urbisphere campaign in Paris comes to an end. This week, the @UniFreiburg team launched parallel radiosoundings in city & suburbs. With @SueGrimmond @SlabGr @simoneKotthaus and @MPAHaeffelin we study how cities modify winter inversions that cause poor air quality.

2023 was the warmest year ever measured in the 46 year-long history of our @ICOS_RI forest research site Hartheim @UniFreiburg. 2023 was 1.6ºC over the long-term average. 3 out of last 4 years were warmer and drier, causing accelerated mortality of trees. meteo.uni-freiburg.de/en/inf…

ALT In-canopy air temperature (2m) and above-canopy precipitation anomalies measured at our ICOS forest ecosystem research site in Hartheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany (DE-Har) from 1978 to 2023. Note that air temperature measurements are taken inside a forest canopy and hence do not fulfil WMO standards. They not only reflect regional climate change but also changes in the local microclimate of the forest canopy due to structural changes, tree dieback, and drought-induced changes in transpiration.

Great honour to give a keynote talk at #Asiaflux2023. Thanks a lot for the invitation (met lots of great people!), also thanks my group members, collaborators, and especially my mentors (@envmet, @Reichstein_BGC, Sara, Andy).

Excited to present “Climate-sensitive Urban Planning through Optimization of Tree Placements” w/ Ferdinand Briegel, Max Argus, @envmet & @ThomasBrox at the #NeurIPS2023 @ClimateChangeAI workshop. Tl;dr: we optimize urban tree locations for improved outdoor human thermal comfort.

This week, a new eddy-covariance supersite has been installed in @Paris by @INRAE_France #LSCE @MPI_BGC @UniHeidelberg and @UniFreiburg. In our @ICOS_RI Cities @HorizonEU project we develop new methods measuring and attributing greenhouse gas emission reductions in EU cities.

The @eucor #MobiLab roadshow vists @Freiburg this week. Can artificial intelligence inform and support cities in developing effective climate adaption strategies? We feature our project "I4C - Intelligence for Cities" @UniFreiburg on June 29 and 30 at Platz der alten Synagoge.

Our new paper in @ArcticScienceJ by @UBCGeog and @UniFreiburg applies neural networks to model carbon fluxes between a polygon tundra and atmosphere: Warming climate reduces carbon uptake and longer growing seasons correlate with stronger methane emissions dx.doi.org/10.1139/AS-2022-0…
