Geomythology. Craitbul journey through the Newer Volcanics in SE Australia

Geomythology. Craitbul journey through the Newer Volcanics in SE Australia

The Aboriginals Australians had and hopefully will continue to have an important oral tradition, especially related to impacts, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes. This time, I would like to set our new narrative in southeast Australia, where the Booandik people tell a story suggesting how their ancestors witnessed and interpreted volcanic activity in the Mount Gambier area. The story, reported b ...[Read More]

How to Create Your Own Water-Themed Audiotour

How to Create Your Own Water-Themed Audiotour

Imagine walking through the Swiss capital, Bern, a city full of water. While you walk, a voice from your headphones guides you along the way and tells you interesting facts about the river and other water sites. You discover the Matteschwelle dam, pass by several fountains, visit a historic weather station, and have a closer look at the clear blue water of the Aare River and its old bridges. This ...[Read More]

Rethinking Europe’s historical climate leadership in a ‘Time of Transition’

Rethinking Europe’s historical climate leadership in a ‘Time of Transition’

The Think2030 Dialogue Denmark was held in crucial times, since once the uncontested frontrunner in global climate governance, Europe now faces the dual challenge of renewing its leadership and maintaining competitiveness amid a shifting geopolitical and technological landscape, alongside a constantly changing multilateral world order. At a time when global competition over clean technologies, res ...[Read More]

Living with a restless giant: The challenge of multi-risk management and communication at Campi Flegrei Volcano

Living with a restless giant: The challenge of multi-risk management and communication at Campi Flegrei Volcano

Nestled within one of Europe’s most densely populated regions, the Campi Flegrei caldera is a volcanic system whose secular unrest shapes the daily life of its inhabitants. Here, during the last decade and still ongoing crisis, ground uplift, frequent earthquakes, and persistent gas emissions interact to create a complex, evolving multi-risk environment. These natural hazards rarely follow simple ...[Read More]

Türkiye’s Climate at a Crossroads

Türkiye’s Climate at a Crossroads

Climate change is often described as a challenge of the future. Yet through our latest work, we’ve realized the future is already unfolding across Türkiye’s landscapes and climates. The signs are visible in the shifting seasons, intensifying heatwaves, and changes in rainfall… As one of the authors of the study “High-Resolution Projections of Bioclimatic Variables in Türkiye: Emerging Patter ...[Read More]

Harnessing Machine Learning to Advance Tropospheric Ozone Science

Harnessing Machine Learning to Advance Tropospheric Ozone Science

Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer powerful tools to address long-standing scientific challenges. At the molecular scale, we’ve seen projects like AlphaFold discover unknown protein structures and how they might interact with other molecules.  At the planetary scale, ML-driven models like GraphCast (Google), AIFS (ECMWF) and ACE (Allen Institute for AI) are revolutionizin ...[Read More]

Why we need to put plants back in the soil carbon picture

Why we need to put plants back in the soil carbon picture

Happy International Soil Day (5 December)! Today, we’re celebrating the incredible capacity of soil organic carbon (SOC) to fight climate change. But hold the celebratory cake! A paper in the journal SOIL by Raza et al. (2025) has exposed an unexpected scientific blind spot, and it’s a bit surprising! The paper, titled “Missing the input: the underrepresentation of plant physiology in ...[Read More]
