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]

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]

The living skin of our planet: Why a world soil health index is our next great global scorecard

The living skin of our planet: Why a world soil health index is our next great global scorecard

Next time you’re outdoors, in a park or anywhere where there is no pavement, look down at the patch of earth beneath your feet. To many people, it’s just mud, dirt, or maybe soil, something passive that things grow in. But to a soil scientist, that handful of soil represents a dynamic ecosystem that supports an incredible 95% of all the food we eat, filters every drop of our drinking water, ...[Read More]

ROBIN: Tracking Climate Change Through the World’s Most Natural Rivers

ROBIN: Tracking Climate Change Through the World’s Most Natural Rivers

Hydrological change is one of the clearest signals of climate variability and human impact on the environment. Yet detecting these changes reliably requires robust, long-term data from river basins that are as close to “natural” as possible, with little influence from dams, abstractions, land use change or any other human influences. That’s where the ROBIN project comes in.  ROBIN, or the Referenc ...[Read More]

A talk with scientists across Europe: building the future of European heliophysics together

A talk with scientists across Europe: building the future of European heliophysics together

“Heliophysics studies the Sun, its sphere of influence, and how it affects the bodies in the solar system.” – this holistic approach to understanding our space environment is at the heart of the European Heliophysics Community (EHC), an open and inclusive network of researchers across Europe (https://www.heliophysics.eu/). The EHC promotes collaborative, curiosity-driven science that explore ...[Read More]
