Rice feeds over half the world, but paddy fields are increasingly contaminated with toxins. #TERRAnaut Andreas Kappler & an international team propose strategies to cut arsenic, cadmium & mercury uptake into grains, without costly soil replacement. #FoodSecurity #SoilScience #TERRA #Geomicrobiology
The three winners of the #TERRA Poster Award at Pan-GLASS 2026 🏆 Nikolaus Papanikolaou (MPI Jena) María Perez (Geophysical Institute of Peru) Devosmita Sen (IISER Pune) Congrats to all three! Great days of exchange on land-atmosphere interactions in Stuttgart. #PanGLASS2026 #TERRAAward
A short time ago, our speaker @michaeladippold.bsky.social presented TERRA, who we are, what we do, snd what we stand for, at the Geosymposium at the GUZ (@unituebingen.bsky.social).
Come and find TERRA at Pan-GLASS 2026 by @gewex.bsky.social and hosted by @unihohenheim.bsky.social in Stuttgart.
A species can be numerous and still be losing genetic diversity. #TERRAnaut Debbie Leigh of @sgn.one and her team have developed a new method to make this invisible loss visible — and a framework of what we can do about it. 📄 doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biag042 #Biodiversity #Conservation #TeamTERRA
🎙️ TERRAnauts Kira Rehfeld & Andreas Schweiger join „Exzellent erklärt" to talk soils, plants and climate — and the one-of-a-kind field experiment „Diversitorium". 🎧 exzellent-erklaert.podigee.io (German Language) | terra-cluster.org #exzellenterklaert #TeamTERRA #podcast
Members of #TERRA 🌍, including our speaker @michaeladippold.bsky.social and our #FutureLab attended a Syntropic Agroforestry workshop at the Weidenhof Living Lab in Deggenhausertal.
Interested in #syntropic #agroforestry? The number of model systems in Germany is rare & co-application of #biochar is unique: The #TERRA #FutureLab supported initative, the #SynWei system, is just now successfully established: join interesting discussions & a field tour on 16.06 vrom 10 a.m. on
📰 #TERRA made the news! The Schwäbische Tagblatt covered our TERRA Cluster of Excellence kick-off. Great to see public interest around what we're building: 7 years of research into terrestrial geo-biosphere interactions, starting now. 🌍 👉 www.swp.de/lokales/tueb...
TERRA was at #EGU26, organized by @egu.eu, in Vienna, Austria. While several of our members were present, our speaker @michaeladippold.bsky.social and postdoc @khatababdalla.bsky.social presented some aspects of #TERRA and our approach to the wider scientific audience.
Day two of our amazing #TERRA 🌎 Kick-Off, meeting old and new friends and colleagues for a second day in a row.
Some impressions from our first day of the #TERRA Kick-Off. It was an amazing day. And day two is coming up.
Our #TERRA 🌎 Kick-Off is today and we're so giddy. The past couple of days and weeks have been a bit stressful but now we're finally there! We'll keep you posted! It's going to be #Excellent 💚
Something excellent is launching tomorrow. 🌍 #TERRA — our Cluster of Excellence at @unituebingen.bsky.social — officially kicks off its first chapter. Can you guess what we plan to do with these soil samples at our Kick-Off?
❄️The Arctic is thawing — and the plants moving in are making it worse. A research team within #TERRA🌍 studied the #Stordalen mire in #Sweden across a full growing season. As permafrost melts, grasses replace shrubs. They absorb CO₂ in summer — but drive far more methane by late season.
🌍 Come work with us! We're hiring a #Postdoc at the intersection of #TERRA and @mackelab.bsky.social — using deep learning & LLMs to model fire dynamics in regional-to-global vegetation models 🔥🌲
We're hiring! The Faculty of Science at the @unituebingen.bsky.social is seeking candidates for a W1 Tenure-Track Professorship of Mineralogy of Weathering — embedded in our Cluster of Excellence #TERRA🌍. 🗓️ Application deadline: 01 June 2026 👉 Full posting: uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet...
🌱 Exciting news – @eco-future.bsky.social launched yesterday, April 1! Our #TERRA Future Lab is part of an effort to develope EcoFuture KAP4, a sustainable biochar-based fertilizer that closes local nutrient cycles for organic farming – funded by the @mwk-bw.bsky.social MWK Baden-Württemberg.🚜
🌍 📰 Our friend and #TERRAnaut Madelaine Böhme was featured in the Mediengruppe Allgäuer Zeitung. She talked about an excavation at the Hammerschmiede, an ancient antilope skull, its significance, and about our cluster #TERRA. 👀 Highly recommended to read!
Do you want to join #TERRA? You're in luck, because the @unituebingen.bsky.social is hiring a FULL PROFESSOR (W3) for EXPERIMENTAL BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH! The complete offer can be found under shorturl.at/0Aju0 We're looking forward to work with you!
Our friend and #TERRA colleague Andreas Kappler and one of his PhD. students, Carolin Dreher, have published work on O2-producing Cyanobacteria and how they helped enriching the earths atmosphere with oxygen some 2,5 billion years ago. Amazing work!
The research shows how silicate and natural light–dark cycles helped early cyanobacteria survive iron-rich oceans — steadily producing the oxygen that changed our planet forever. Image source: Carolin Dreher, Jeremiah Shuster
Cute, isn't it? Now it's clear, the spiny dormouse was also in Europ. The site Hammerschmiede hosts an incredible enigmatic biodiversity amongst them the rodent with the bushy, spiny tale TERRA will fund the ongoing journey with @sgn.one to unravel the geo-drivers for this high vertebrate diversity
