It has been possible with a sheer and persistent determination of our team - the work led by Masooma and supported by Fanny! And I’m incredibly proud to be part of this work.

Pursuing FAIR Science:
As always, we went the extra mile in this study by not only detailing our "methodology to reconstruct historical P surplus" but also by making the "dataset publicly available" — a commitment to open and transparent science!

This research would not have been possible without our early efforts in making high-resolution Europe-wide simulations conducted as part of the EdGE project and the following HOKLIM project

And here comes the hidden part: Beyond regional differentiated analysis, we also look critically into the seasonal changes in groundwater recharge - this has been a missing piece in many large-scale assessments.

The findings underscore the growing urgency for the Central European region to better pinpoint uncertainties in climate impact assessments.

Rohini Kumar @rohinikumar.bsky.social · Feb 6

A clear north-south polarization emerges — Mediterranean regions will likely experience a significant decline in groundwater recharge, while Scandinavian regions are projected to receive more recharge in the future. Intensification grows as we go towards higher warming levels.

Based on our multi-model ensemble, we present the Europe-wide, high-resolution multi-model assessment of groundwater recharge under different global warming levels.

📚 Education is a fundamental human right. Without it, there is no freedom and no prosperity.

We are committed to investing in high-quality education and continued training for citizens in Europe and beyond.

#InternationalDayOfEducation

A chalkboard displays handwritten text in white chalk. The conjugation of the verb “have” appears at the top: “I have, You have, She, He has, We have, You have, They have.” Below, the sentence “A right to education” is written in larger letters. In the bottom-right corner, a small European Union flag is sketched. Two pieces of chalk and an eraser rest on the wooden chalkboard ledge.

- It marks a significant step forward, fully integrating novel CRNS measurements with their forward processing module in mHM.
- Enabled the direct incorporation of CRNS measurements into the mHM model, enhancing its soil moisture processes and other related processes (e.g., evapotranspiration).
