Permafrost degradation reduces trink water availability. This among other subjects was discussed at the 5th European Permafrost Conference. Presented results from hydro-chemical analysis of the Kaunertal Catchment. #GeoHype

Checking out new research areas at the Kaiserberg.

Searching for 16 suitable sites for the ecologists and geomorphologists to measure erosion as a function of vegetation in high mountain environments. #phusicos

Explaining our research to around 100 great kids in the framework of the "vienna children university on tour". WE LOVE OUTREACH. #Phusicos

Conference meet up in Germany. With presentations of our erosion studies. #Phusicos #Phytoliths

Meeting with greening and seed company Robert R. Junker for joining forces in the the name of science @phusicos @PlusUniSalzburg Universität Wien

Exciting few days. Universität Wien and IIASA hosted the third @phusicos consortium meeting in Vienna. Working on the development, implementation and evaluation of #naturebasedsolutions in rural mountain areas.

tirol.orf.at/stories/300604… This week strong rainfall caused many debris flows to close up Kaunertal valley. 80 people got trapped but luckily nobody got hurt. We hope to continue soon our work to develop NBS for more slope stability in the area. #Phusicos

Fieldwork goes outreach! Last week a diverse team of enthusiasts, students, and family members worked hand in hand with the #PHUSICOS team in Kaunertal. Great team and wonderful athmosphere. Thanks everyone!!!

Last fieldwork in Kaunertal with #S_Haselberger and team. Struggeling with the first snow to distribute the experimental seed mixture for their winter sleep. Team is in good spirits. #Phusicos

Thankful for the exhange and expertise from the BOKU bioengineeers Prof. Dr. Rosmarie Stangl, PD Dr. Ulrike Pitha and team who visited the PHUSICOS sites in Kaunertal. #phusicos

Exhibition opening in Kaunertal with our research presented there. The Austrian president Van der Bellen listens to the findings from our experimental sites #phusicos tt.com/artikel/308001…

Interested in what #PHUSICOS is doing in the Kaunertal Valley. Watch the documentation on Austrian national television ORF III tonight!11.11.2021 - 8:15 PM: tv.orf.at/program/orf3/l… LAND DER BERGE Alpenwege: Von Bibel, Römerpfad und Kaunertal

Sorry 11.11 is TOMORROW!

Ready for theatrically sound science communication at #LangeNachtderForschung? Or interested in Austrias biggest #LEGO-model of a glacier foreland? Check out #PHUSICOS contribution TODAY from 5-11PM @ #altesakh Vienna. With Lauri S., Uli Z. & Stefan H. langenachtderforschung.at/station/984

This month with the Kaunertaler Gletscherbahnen and Co. Grasberger we agreed on the deployment of the altitude adapted seed mixture on road cuts and new ski pists. The goal is biotic stabilzation on around 10.000m2 of slopes in this 1. test. #Phusicos #NatureBasedSolutions

One more successful Tracing Day at the University of Vienna (with a visit of the VERA accelerator 🧪 ) just before #EGU24 conference starts! Thanks to @MerchelSilke and Sabine Kraushaar for the local organisation 🤞
