Reducing climate change will require getting our hands dirty - both literally and figuratively. On the figurative side, Eric Slessarev Yale University is studying what role minerals play in storing soil organic matter, which could help us store more carbon: news.yale.edu/2023/09/13/dig…

It's been wonderful to be back in Vienna and discuss science with colleagues. I'll be presenting a poster on our spectromicroscopy work from Blodgett Forest later today. Hope to see you there! X1.3 | EGU24-2866 | BG3.10

Getting ready for fieldwork in India Sadhana Forest by testing soil moisture sensors in our local Zurich Technosol! Thanks Binyan Sun for your help!

Soil description course with @MWISchmidt and the Alps in the background, this week with much less rain!!

Calcium Biosensing Visual Guide 🧵 Calcium is a divalent cation that plays an important role as a second messenger in the cytosol ([Ca2+]cyt) of plant cells, mediating a myriad of signalling responses throughout development and in response to different environmental stimuli.

New paper out in GBC by Daniel Wasner from Soil Resources Group at ETH Zurich on the changing importance of major soil C fractions for #soilcarbon storage along pegenetic and geoclimatic gradients. Microaggregates matter, in particular in high SOC and more developed soils! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

It's been a pleasure working with Sadhana Forest and Aviram Rozin throughout the years. This brief video encapsulates some of the lovely work that they've been doing over the last 20 years, long may it continue. youtu.be/dJLHc1dg2YE

🎥 🌍 🌾 The job of a scientist often entails talking with reporters to explain science and its significance. Berkeley Lab scientist Jasquelin Pena took to the field in Point Reyes to discuss the importance of studying soil carbon and wildfire in a changing climate with CBS News Bay Area.

We are organising a new session this year at EGU "SSS5.7 Interactions between soil carbon, mineral surfaces, and metal species across scales: mechanisms and implications" if you plan to attend please consider submitting to the session. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…

Calling all soil scientists! 🌱🌍 We invite your abstracts for our #EGU25 session: SSS5.7 - Interactions between soil carbon, mineral surfaces, and metal species across scales. 📅 Submission deadline: 15 January 2025 👉 Join us for an interesting session: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…

The EGU 25 abstract deadline is 15th January. Please consider submitting to our session on soil carbon. We would love to have your contribution!!! Marcus Schiedung Steffen Schweizer Luis Carlos Colocho meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…

I'm glad to announce our latest publication in Soil Letters, a Highlight paper that shows calcium is associated with specific carbon decomposition products across different soil types and ecosystems soil.copernicus.org/articles/11/38…
