Georg talks to ORF about the forest carbon cycle in the context of recent reports at Austrian and European scale that show a recent decline in carbon storage capacity and what that means for efforts towards decarbonisation (external link). Thanks to Anna Huber (Büro für Öffentlichkeitsarbeit) for support.
Hot of the press … an outcome of 2022 Innsbruck Mountain Conference with Lorenz as co-author:
Pepin N., … Hänchen L., et al. (2025) Elevation-dependent climate change in mountain environments. Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, doi: 10.1038/s43017-025-00740-4.
This week Christiaan van der Tol (University of Twente, NL) was visiting us to act as an examiner in the PhD defence of Lorenz, give a talk in our Department seminar and talk SIF with the group. And of course we took Christiaan to the FAIR site.

Today Lorenz successfully defended his PhD thesis – congrats!
Thanks to everybody who contributed to the journey which started back in 2019 with a successful field trip to Huaraz/Peru, was cruelly interrupted by the Covid pandemic which basically halted all planned field activities and then triggered lots of creative “work-arounds” that in the end resulted in a unique dissertation.
