@bodomenke Yes, we know that. This is the reason for this 100-hour broadcast. To change public opinion in the US. You wouldn't believe how many people there think: "I do not need the National Weather Service #NWS. I just use my weather app."

We had a very open discussion on the #AttackOnScience in the US during our biggest European conference in Vienna 4 weeks ago (European Goesciences Union #EGU). Our sister organization in the US (American Geophysical Union #AGU) is fighting back. They have started lawsuits against the federal government and already had some success in halting #DOGE activities. But this is just the beginning.

AI4PEX @ #EGU: the past 2 days we heard a lot about Machine Learning applications and Climate Extremes by Ramon Fuentes Franco, Tom Beucler, Helena Reid, Svenja Seeber and Kai Cohrs.

🚴‍♂️🌍 Our #IMPRS-ESM doctoral candidate Rolf Schimmer had an extraordinary journey to the #EGU25: He rode his #bike from his relatives' place in Nuremberg all the way to #Vienna, combining climate-friendly travel with a real sense of adventure!

And because cycling gear is not ideal for a #conference talk, some of his colleagues have kindly brought along his formal attire.

We're looking forward to his talk in session AS1.26 on Wednesday morning.

Happy #EGU everyone!

Having wended her way by train to Vienna, Austria for the 2025 #EGU 2025 General Assembly, our volunteer Baerbel Winkler will be presenting a synopsis of our possibly unparalleled except by the UN translation effort, our lessons learned and challenges still to be met.

Much of our #ClimateMythDebunking and other content is available in 29 languages. It's a massive effort, remarkable as the product of all-volunteer energy.

Details at the link-- including how to help.

👋 Meet Sourav Laha, Melissa Reidy and Daisy Burckin, three researchers from around the world who will be attending the #EGU General Assembly for the first time in 2025!

Find out what they are looking forward to, any sessions they are looking out for and where you will find them to discuss their work!

Faced with an overflowing cornucopia of the fruit of human curiosity about our world, how does one decide where to stick in a fork?

Our volunteer staffer Bärbel Winkler will be attending the #EGU 2025 General Assembly and (no surprise-- it's Bärbel) has a methodical plan to cope with surfeit.

Helping the public understand #ClimateScience is our mission. Bärbel will be presenting useful information about collaborative #ScienceCommunications at this year's event.

Puolitoista viikkoa ja sitten olisi perinteisen EGU-konferenssin vuoro. Viime vuonna (ja koronavuosina) jäi väliin, mutta tänä vuonna olisi jo 13 kerta kun menen paikan päälle. Ensimmäinen kerta oli jo vuonna 2009. Wienissä onkin hyvä vähän juhlistaa nyt keväällä täyteen tulevaa 20v työuraa Ilmatieteen laitoksella. Jos en väärin muista, alkoi palkka "juoksemaan" 17.5.2005.

"As our American sibling societies the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the Geological Society of America (GSA), the American Geosciences Institute (AGI) and other organisations take steps to protect their members and the invaluable research they are conducting, we want to firmly voice our support for them and all their members in this challenging time."

🚨 New preprint 🚨

Hydrology and cave (and cave hydrology!) enthusiasts may enjoy this preprint just posted today for community review in the #EGU journal #HESS. Led by former #UNSW student, Christina Song, with @Andbaker and myself, we looked at recharge thresholds (amount of precipitation needed for recharge to occur in a cave), and how they changed after a fire.

The preprint is open now for community discussion, and will be accepting comments until 23 April.

egusphere.copernicus.orgRainfall recharge thresholds decrease after an intense fire over a near-surface cave at Wombeyan, AustraliaAbstract. Quantifying the amount of rainfall needed to generate groundwater recharge is important for the sustainable management of groundwater resources. Here, we quantify rainfall recharge thresholds using drip loggers situated in a near-surface cave: Wildman’s cave at Wombeyan, southeast Australia. In just over two years of monitoring, 42 potential recharge events were identified in the cave, approximately 4 m below land surface which comprises a 30° slope with 37 % bare rock. Recharge events occurred within 48 hours of rainfall. Using daily precipitation data, the median 48 h rainfall needed to generate recharge was 19.8 mm, without clear seasonal variability. An intense experimental fire experiment was conducted 18 months into the monitoring period: the median 48 h rainfall needed to generate recharge was 22.1 mm before the fire (n=22) and 16.4 mm after the fire (n=20), with the decrease in rainfall recharge most noticeable starting three months after the fire.. Rainfall recharge thresholds and number of potential recharge events at Wildman’s Cave are consistent with those published from other caves in water-limited Australia. At Wildman’s Cave, we infer that soil water storage, combined with the generation of overland flow over bare limestone surfaces is the pathway for water movement to the subsurface via fractures and that these determine the rainfall recharge threshold. Immediately after the fire, surface ash deposits initially retard overland flow, and after ash removal from the land surface, soil loss and damage decrease the available soil water storage capacity, leading to more efficient infiltration and a decreased rainfall recharge threshold.
