🚀 New Miniseries launched on EGU Hydrological Science Blog 🚀
🚀 Today marks the launch of my new miniseries on DIY in Geosciences on the European Geosciences Union (EGU) Hydrological Science Blog! 🌍🛠️ As geoscientists, we rely on diverse data—from soil moisture to water levels, snow height, radiation, precipitation, and beyond. Yet, obtaining this data can be a challenge due to the unavailability or high…

EGU24 Session on failed models and negative results
“Trial and error” is one of the fundamental principles of science, yet the errors are seldom published. Failed experiments, including negative results, statistically insignificant data, and imperfect modelling, are all natural parts of the scientific journey. However, publication bias, the tendency to only publish positive outcomes, leaves out a significant part of the story. At…

EUCOR Trinational Summer School
Complex societal challenges like the adaptation to climate change can’t be solved by one scientific discipline alone! Last week I participated in the trinational EUCOR Summer School on transdisciplinary research for climate adaptation. With experts from multiple countries and diverse research areas, us participants got a multitude of new perspectives and tools for facilitating change.…

WATSON short term scientific mission to Uni Bern
Thanks to a Watson Short Term Scientific Mission grant I was able to visit the institute of hydrology in the scenic city of Bern. During my stay at the group of Prof. Bettina Schaefli, Dr. Natalie Ceperley and I develop a sampling framework to assess preferential flow of meltwater and/or rain on snow. Better insights…

18th PhD workshop on hydrological modeling
Last week, myself and other PhD students of the hydrological professorships of the University of Freiburg organized the 18th workshop on hydrological modeling. At Feldberg, 16 participants from different universities in Germany and neighboring countries presented their current projects and discussed them among each other. The topics covered a broad field of hydrological modeling: pollutants…

Isotope Hydrology Course
Last week I took part in the “Isotope Hydrology” course from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. While it gave me an artificial jetlag by attending the course virtually from Germany, it was definitely worth the sleep deprevation. The course featured outstanding instructors like Jeff McDonnell, Ciaran Harman and Scott Jasechko to name just a few.…
