Rivieren zijn een onmisbare waterbron voor onszelf en de natuur. Een internationaal team van onderzoekers waaronder @wberghuijs van de @VUamsterdam heeft in kaart gebracht dat de wereldwijde rol van grondwater in rivieren een stuk groter is dan gedacht. https://t.co/dqY8OZEp8O

Our @VU_EarthScience department is under threat of budget cuts and reorganizations. This has sewvere consequences for the quality #Earthsciences and #sustainability research and education @VUamsterdam and in the Netherlands. Please take a moment to watch and/or share this video!
Aardwetenschappers zijn de basis voor een duurzame toekomst. Toch wordt ons vakgebied bedreigd door bezuinigingen in het hoger onderwijs. Studenten van de opleiding Aardwetenschappen maakten deze video om hun zorgen te uiten. Deel ook deze video! https://t.co/h1S5NwGLPo

Our paper on Drought-Flood events is out on Environmental Research Letter! We show that one fifth of floods globally occurred SOON AFTER or DURING drought conditions, leading (for some) to interactions that altered the floods’ characteristics 1/4 https://t.co/7O828Ms6PE

Very happy to present our latest publication in @ScienceAdvances in which we show that during a warmer period in the #Pliocene, the summers warm up almost twice as much as the winters. https://t.co/TwDCMkTx4r

Seasonal-scale climate reconstructions and models show that CO2 increase warms up Europe’s summers faster than its winters.
