‪#CallForAbstracts‼️#EGU26 session BG3.11 "Natural forest expansion under global change: assessing causes and consequences in time and space"

Let's talk about where, why, and with what consequences forests expand!

🌳 Possible Topics:
• Biodiversity & habitat structure
• Landscape dynamics & ecosystem functioning
• Socio-economic implications for livelihoods, cultural landscapes, & local economies

⛰️ Across 4 countries & 1,500 km, our students experienced how humans have reshaped the eastern Alps: exploring melting glaciers, historic mercury mines, rebuilt mountain towns and coastal protection.

Québec plans to run fully on renewables by 2050 - even though electricity demand is expected to double. But on our 4,600 km excursion we saw that this transition is anything but simple:

Massive dams provide clean power, but flood Cree lands. At the end, our students realized energy choices are about balancing tech, ecology & justice 🌍⚡️

We had a fantastic time at ESA's Living Planet Symposium #LPS25 in Vienna! This year, it was all about how we can use remote sensing for improving #ClimateAction and #sustainability. Our team presented work on improving seasonal crop yield forecasts, mapping nitrogen, biomass, and forest carbon using satellite data, models, and AI. A big step towards better land management and food security.

We’re at the #LPS25 Living Planet Symposium in Vienna! 🌍 Excited to connect, share ideas and discuss 🚀

Also: Don’t miss Stefanie Steinhauser’s talk tomorrow! ⏰ 16:15 📍 Hall N1/N2 💡 Deriving seasonal dynamics of crop development via spectroscopy in California

And shoutout to Christoph Jörges who pitched his poster on day one! His work: A new approach to seasonal crop yield forecasting by combining Sentinel-3 satellite data with the LPJmL vegetation model 🌱

🎓 𝗟𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗲@𝗚𝗲𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: #Science made by students!

At our faculty's 𝗟𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗲@𝗚𝗲𝗼 𝗧𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗻𝗴, students presented original research funded by studforschung@geo – from identifying meteorites to building drones fit for volcanoes!

We're especially proud of Tim Drießle and Mareike Winkler, who our research group supervised.
