Took a small break from talks & discussions at #IMC25 this morning to explore the #alpine surroundings above #Innsbruck. Great views, and happy to see quite some flowers still (or again?) around late in the season 🌸🪻🌿🏔😊

Thank you to everyone who presented in our #microclimate change session today @imc2025.bsky.social! @jlembrechts.bsky.social, @niittynen.bsky.social & I were very happy with the contributions & discussions. Great to see microclimate getting more attention in high-elevation ecosystems 🏔🌡❄️💧

Great treat to have a #fieldwork day amidst weeks of programming, checking on our #microclimate loggers in beautiful Valais 🇨🇭

Wondering how #alpine organisms have been experiencing #microclimate change? So are we!

Join our focus session at the International #Mountain conference #IMC25 in Innsbruck - now open for abstracts!

Happy #InternationalMountainDay 🏔️
Today, we are celebrating one of the most diverse, dynamic, extreme, and arguably most beautiful ecosystems on the planet. So many fascinating things going on, and so much still to find out!
I'm truly grateful to be able to work in such amazing places.
