Friday vibes: at least my academic spam is optimistic 😎

Open PhD position at @[email protected], Austria, Department of Ecology, with a highly motivated ice-addicted team to work on bioaerosols and microplastics on glacial surfaces: Come and join us! Read more on icebio.eu and icebio.eu/Documents/Appl… Start: April 2023

We worden doodgegooid met unconscious bias workshops en vrouwennetwerken, maar zaken als fatsoenlijke arbeidsvoorwaarden zijn nog steeds niet op orde. Verander de #flexwet/ de #cao zodat postdocs verzekerd zijn van contractverlenging bij zwangerschap! scienceguide.nl/2023/01/een-po…

After great fieldwork and a lot of data analysis, MSc student Noortje Janssen successfully defended her thesis yesterday at WUR, on CO2 fluxes in proglacial areas. She and I will present this work also at NAC and EGU, so stay tuned!

What if we could measure biodegradation of novel chemicals more high-throughput and support the design of better degradable chemicals? If you are as fascinated by this question as I am, join our team as PhD student in Environmental Chemistry. tinyurl.com/ymwx7kyt

We have extra berths available for a 12 day cruise to the ETNP OMZ in March. San Diego -> San Diego. DM if interested.

Snow cover and ground frozen problematic for soil sampling? Advantage of being an undecided aquatic/terrestrial scientist: then I'll just sample the soil profile that the creek build me. Waders on and let's go!

On the International Women's Day I mapped the % of female researchers in Europe, according to UNESCO data. 👩‍🔬👩‍🏫👩‍🎓 #InternationalWomensDay #rstats #DataScience #geospatial #DataVisualization #maps

Real picture from my Aquatic methods course last week, but almost looks like a brochure illustrating different sediment sampling devices 😄

A new package to let colour blind people see all maps! Available in GitHub: github.com/ducciorocchini… Install it by: install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("ducciorocchini/cblindplot") And here is the description: doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoi…

Everyone busy preparing posters and talks for EGU? Here's something to relieve some stress and looking forward to fun: the Soil System Sciences division is hosting a social event on Wed evening. Join in! (also welcome if your talk is in another division) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Back after a great EGU week. Finally met so many Dutch and Swiss colleagues again, after my awkwardly quiet exit due to covid.

A warm welcome back to the office: I was granted funding by the Bavarian research alliance for my work on soil carbon in the Alps 😃 Thanks Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) GmbH TU München

One of my current research topics is on the effect of floodplain soil wetness on methane emissions. Little downside is that that means I also have to sample when it is.. wet. Very wet. 3 days nonstop rain wet.

🌊 I am recruiting a #PhD and #Postdoc to work with me on aquatic #methane cycling and the role of #eutrophication @DOME_Vienna. Exciting fieldwork at #ocean and #lake sites with great collaborators! Start date: January 2024. Please share widely! #PhDposition #postdocjobs

Do you have experience in microscopy, image analysis, fluid dynamics, network theory, electrophysiology, and/or machine learning? Join us as we track the flows & structure of mycorrhizal networks. We have a biophysics post-doc position open in Amsterdam amolf.nl/jobs/postdoc-i…

So lovely to see all the old and new SIAM scientists gathered at the North Sea. I had not seen most of them since I finished my PhD in the midst of covid times (so no party or goodbyes!). Exciting anaerobic microbiology + daily swimming 😎

An excavator digging into Theodul glacier to prepare for early season ski races - shocking images in Zermatt. Is this the future of alpine skiing in the face of melting glaciers? The absolute wrong path, we need to see more climate action from this industry.
