Extreme climate events endanger groundwater quality and stability, when rain water evades natural purification processes in the soil. This was demonstrated in long-term groundwater analyses using new analytical methods.
More frequent strong storms are destroying ever larger areas of the Amazon rainforest. Storm damage was mapped between 1985 and 2020. The total area of affected forests roughly quadrupled in the period studied.
In the annual ranking of the world's most cited and thus most influential scientists, five authors from our institute are once again represented in 2024.
David Hafezi Rachti was awarded twice: for his EGU poster with this year’s “Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation” (OSPP) and for his Bachelor thesis, he received the 1st prize of the “Young Climate Scientist Award 2024”.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina will hold a joint conference on the challenges of achieving carbon neutrality in Berlin on October 29-30, 2024.
