- Co-led by Julius Schlumberger and myself, this perspective examines how the EU Horizon 2020 project MYRIAD-EU integrated Early Career Researcher (ECR) empowerment into its framework.
- Achieved through involvement of ECRs in project management, organization of events, and initiatives to foster networks. Three key enabling factors for creating an empowering environment were identified, aiming to encourage projects and funding institutions to further build on these practices.
- 📢 Call for Abstracts - ICONREM 2026 📢 Abstract submission is now open for the 4th International Conference on Resilience, Multi-Risk Assessment and Monitoring, taking place 16-19 June 2026 in Florence, Italy. 📌 Submit your abstract: www.iconrem.it/contribution... ⏰ Deadline: 30 October 2025
- 💡We particularly would like to highlight the Special Technical Session: “Innovative Frontiers in Multi(-Hazard)-risk Assessment and Disaster Risk Management”, led by Timothy Tiggeloven, co-convened together with @dmferrario.bsky.social, Michele Ronco, and Silvia Torresan.
- 💡 I had the opportunity to speak with LATEST THINKING (lt.org) about ongoing work throughout my PhD that incorporates societal and health responses into natural hazard risk assessments. 👉 Full interview available here: doi.org/10.21036/LTP...

- Really enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to this very interesting manuscript! 🌳☀️☁️ If you're working on heatwaves through the land surface or atmospheric lens, I highly recommend giving it a read! Lots of great insights on importance of drivers regionally and at different timescales.
- New paper from our group in Earth System Dynamics! We find geopotential height is the main driver of hot extremes. ☀️ Surface net radiation and evaporative fraction are secondary daily drivers, while 🪁 wind dominates weekly. Read more at: doi.org/10.5194/esd-...

- Big announcement: One of my research groups has just moved over to BlueSky 🦋 If your interested in land-atmosphere coupling 🌱, extreme weather events ☀️, earth system modeling 🌍, or forecasts and projections 🌡️ be sure to follow to receive our updates!
- Looking back at an incredible experience had at my first #AGU conference, full of reunions and new connections. Also a big thank you to all who stopped by my poster and contributed to the over 4 hours of rewarding discussions! #AGU2024 @agugeohealth.bsky.social @agu.org @mpi-bgc.bsky.social
- At #AGU2024 and interested in multi-hazards, exposure-response curves, or both together? Come stop by my poster “Regional Differences in the Impact of Heat and Moisture on Public Health within Europe” tomorrow morning (12 Dec. @ 8:30-12:30) at board number 2704! ☀️🌧️ @agugeohealth.bsky.social
- And if you are not at #AGU2024 though still interested in hearing about this project, please feel free to connect!
- All set up! Looking forward to the upcoming discussions this morning!
- Enjoyed an insightful visit with the Sebastian Lab at UNC ahead of #AGU2024! Excited for the chance to reconnect and can’t wait to continue exchanging ideas with both new and familiar connections over next week as well. See you all there!

- I wouldn’t be where I am today without my experience at @ncsco.bsky.social!
- Hi everyone 👋 Thought to give a quick intro as my first post here. I’m a PhD researcher at MPI for Biogeochemistry and VU Amsterdam investigating impacts & dynamics of vulnerability associated with (multi-hazard) heatwaves ☀️ Check out the 1st paper of my PhD below and stay tuned for more updates!
- Welcome to all the Bluesky newbies! We've created a starter pack of compound events and multi hazard researchers and groups. Please send through suggestions for who else to add to the list go.bsky.app/Cy8PZjuat://did:plc:hosk4k266iojacbnqnkni73p/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lavn7zkbh327
- Hi 👋 I’ve just joined after being inspired by @philipward.bsky.social and was wondering if I could be added in? Thanks!
