"Too little was done too late”: New commentary with PIK director Johan Rockström warns of rising planetary risks after a missed decade of action. Climate & biosphere pressures keep increasing, but stabilising the Earth system is still within reach.

A fantastic GCERetreat2025 came to end. Amazing talks from all our global change ecology research themes (thermal, macro- & above-belowground interaction ecology) productive exchange about joint research and teaching, group development, career options and many other topics. To be repeated soon!

Last program day of our GCERetreat2025 has started. Our MSc student @kc-gehrig.bsky.social shows cool (or hot?) results from his thesis project on behavioural responses of butterflies to temperature variation. Great work, highlighting the importance of behaviour in climate change impact studies

Another MSc thesis update was recently presented by our student Nicolas Willems. He studies the variation of colour lightness, body size and other traits of #grasshoppers along an elevational gradient in the Bavarian Alps. Well done!! We look forward to the results…
