I am pleased to support the 28th General Assembly of #IUGG in Berlin as a volunteer. Thank you for the opportunity to learn more about current research in the field of geodesy and geophysics. Today and tomorrow are public days, open to all and free of charge! @theIUGG
Permafrost Mapping Application in Action! Today at the #Potsdam Science Day #PTDW citizens from all generations tested our new tool and approved 🙃 @AWI_Media @Permafrost_RS @GIScienceHD @DLRdatascience
The KEY question, I'm asked by students when I guest lecture about the #ClimateCrisis is 'but what can we do?'
So I recently rewrote my materials to try & tackle that question head on. Feel free to adapt them.
Buckle up - here's a LONG thread🧵about how we can fight back!
Volunteers are needed to validate/identify retrogressive thaw slumps, one kind of permafrost disturbance, in the pan-Arctic through a crowdsourcing system. https://t.co/5rP65gQNZC Please help retweet! @arcticdatactr@ipapermafrost@PYRN_official@uspermafrost
Fingers crossed for all the coastal villages along the western Alaska coast. We studied coastal thaw slumps and Cape Blossom on the Baldwin Peninsula in August - now with this major storm coming through we expect substantial late season erosion at the base of these coastal cliffs
Es gibt Permafrost in Bremen! Zumindest bis morgen :) unter anderem könnt ihr da @AWI_de Forschende auf Expedition in die Arktis in VR begleiten! #outreach#SciComm @RungeAlexandra @WindirschTorben@UAgenten
It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.
#PermaX|Scan team is heading back to Germany, packed with lots of exiting data ready to be processed, analyzed and shared. Thank you Nome and Kotzebue for the memorable experience.
Coastal erosion is progressing rapidly along much of Baldwin Peninsula's coastline.
During the #PermaX|Scan expedition we surveyed impressive retrogressive thaw slumps. This video was taken along the west coast of the Peninsula's narrows. #CoastalErosion@AWI_Media
The other day I got to be an Arctic boat captain, navigating our expedition team back to town after a long day of #permafrost#fieldwork down the coast. After we ran out of fuel only an hour in, I gladly handed back all responsibility to someone actually in charge, though ;) 🚢
Surveying thaw slumps and gullies with #UAV & #LiDAR backpack and measuring active layer temps & depths has now become second nature to the #PermaX|Scan team. This picturesque gully on the north-east coast of Baldwin Peninsula gets up to 10 m / 33 ft. #permafrost#remotesensing
Bye bye Sitŋasuaq #Nome, hello Qikiqtaġruk #Kotzebue. The #PermaX|Scan team transferred to the second part of the campaign on Baldwin Peninsula today. Time to investigate some coastal thaw slumps and a very recently drained thermokarst lake! #fieldwork@AWI_Media@BeringAir
Today's #PermaX|Scan weather was rather foggy, wet, and even snowy in the morning. No UAV flights, no LiDAR scans; no #RemoteSensing today. But we still made good use of the time and gathered some water samples and active layer depths and temperatures.
We've flown drone surveys, collected LiDAR point clouds, installed permafrost temperature loggers, counted musk ox and dipped in the hot springs. What a successful first week of #fieldwork. #PermaX#WestAlaska@AWI_Media
fantastic use of social media for awareness building by @RungeAlexandra @tabearettelbach on gender imbalance in her field of research #earthobservation using #scicomm - was great to have you in our course to engage #remotesensing student, thanks a lot!
Thanks so much, dear #LNDW2022 participants, for sharing the excitement for the Arctic-from-above with us, @UAgenten@Permafrost_RS@AWI_Media
Kids tested our mapping App & played a memory game with satellite images. Much fun 😃 CU next year!

What do satellites see in the Arctic?🛰️
To find out, come by tomorrow night for the 'Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften'. You can find us at the Telegrafenberg (A 45) in Potsdam.😊 #lndw2022@LNDWBerlin https://t.co/sfHLrLEzug
