Comparing Apples to Apples: Filtering Water Storage Compartments for GRACE

Comparing Apples to Apples: Filtering Water Storage Compartments for GRACE

Have you ever heard that we can “weigh” water on Earth from space?  Since 2002, the GRACE and GRACE-FO satellite missions have been mapping month-to-month variations of the Earth’s gravity field. Because gravity responds to mass, these data can reveal how water is redistributed at the surface and in the subsurface.  The result is a global time series of terrestrial water storage anomalies (TWSA)—h ...[Read More]

More than just a cat: How Schrödinger invented modern Earth science

Did you know that yesterday, Sunday, January 4, 2026, marked 65 years since Erwin Schrödinger passed away? While the internet loves him for his cat in a box thought experiment, Geoscientists love him for something much more practical: the equation. Many of us have spent decades debating the health of a hypothetical feline in a box (I remember watching this episode of the Bing Bang Theory and think ...[Read More]

Hunting for historical Adriatic meteotsunamis

Before modern instruments, our only clues about past sea events came from written records and folklore. Along the eastern Adriatic coast, stories of sudden floods and “tidal waves” (locally called šćiga) have been passed down for generations. These waves, described as rapid rises and falls of the sea that could flood or empty harbours within minutes, were carved into Adriatic coastal life as rare ...[Read More]

From Particles to the Air We Breathe: Dominik Stolzenburg’s Journey into the Hidden Life of Aerosols

Dr. Dominik Stolzenburg is a chemist in atmospheric physics at TU Wien, specializing in aerosol science and air quality. His work focuses on how ultrafine particles form, transform, and affect both climate systems and human health — especially in cities. Through field measurements, modeling, and data analysis, he explores how human and natural emissions interact, helping policymakers shape cleaner ...[Read More]

Discovery to recovery: how international collaboration solved the ozone crisis

38 years ago, representatives from 46 countries around the globe came together to find a solution to the climate crisis. Alerted to an issue discovered by scientists 13 years previously, the representatives of these nations worked together swiftly and with purpose to create an international treaty to combat a major environmental issue. The treaty was signed by all 46 participant nations and would ...[Read More]

Google Earth Engine, a pionner tool for enviromental solutions

Since 2018, Google Earth Engine (GEE) has granted free access to various institutions for academic and non-profit scientific use. The goal of this initiative is to process large amounts of satellite imagery exclusively over the internet (cloud). This innovative option enabled thousands of users from around the world to investigate environmental phenomena at varying resolutions, including over time ...[Read More]
