#Vulkanausbrüche auf #Island waren im Frühmittelalter dafür verantwortlich, dass u.a. das Schwarze Meer gefroren war. Dies zeigt eine internationale #Studie Oeschger Centre #unibern mit Beteiligung der Austrian Academy of Sciences: sohub.io/5usm.

The article in Communications Earth & Environment of Imogen Gabriel & Michael Sigl (@unibern) et al. shows how an active period of Iceland´s volcanoes affected the #climate from Ireland to #Byzantium & Egypt between 750 and 940 AD.

Congrats to Michael Sigl for his Oeschger Medal!

Members of our group Quaternary Geology at the EGU meeting in Vienna. I really enjoyed the speleothem poster session today.

Team Speleothem

As promised !!!

S4 2025 will be in Morocco !

Discussing the logistics etc. of past and future Swiss Geoscience Meeting in Bern!

Winter is back in Switzerland!🇨🇭

Pizza 🍕 seminar at the Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Basel. Very interesting talks on limnology and nitrogen isotopes in diatoms.

Beyond EPICA Science Meeting 2024!

Three days full of scientific updates, debate about results of the project and planning of the next steps for BEOI.

Thanks to all participants for this engaging and successful edition🧊

New Picarro L-2130i for measuring water samples arrived today morning! This is a nice addition to our lab and needed to run hundreds of water samples every year. I am sure there will be a high demand in our group and department respectively.

Kickoff meeting of two SNSF projects HyMes and MITRA in Bern! Both projects are taking place in Mesopotamia (HyMes) and eastern Turkey, Iraq and Iran!

Our new stalagmite record from Tham Khao Dang Cave (W Thailand) has just been published in QSR. We focus mostly on climate shifts during the Younger Dryas termination, comparing the timing between Asian monsoon regions

First day of Ramadhan in Oman on Tuesday

Christoph Schär is one of the Swiss climate scientists who have shaped high-​resolution climate modelling. He is now retiring after more than 35 years at ETH Zurich. 👏 D-USYS@ETH brnw.ch/21wHEnA #ClimateModelling

Keen interest in SNSF Starting Grants 2024: 508 scientists have filed an application🗳️.
Next step ➡️ Swiss and international experts will evaluate the proposals and decide which will receive funding. sohub.io/n5h7

Me, before (left image) and after (right image) a busy and productive 2-day project meeting in Venice!

Second day in Venice. Looking forward for more discussions on climate-human relationships during the first millennium AD.
