At @mebconf.bsky.social I presented my current work on modelling of #snow ❄️ & #microclimate 🌡️ in the European #Alps. Thanks to all participants for the conversations, and for awarding me one of three Cool Poster Design awards! 🎉
Thanks #TOMST for sponsoring, more urban microclimate data coming up :)
Thank you so much to @mebconf.bsky.social for another fantastic #microclimate #conference week, this time in beautiful Montpellier! Such good views, talks, food, and just the amazing @mebnetwork.bsky.social community in general. So grateful for working with such great colleagues!
Open positions! PhD and postdoc projects on RS, snow modelling, arctic-alpine hydrology & ecology ❄️🌿🌡️💧 3-yr positions with assistant prof @niittynen.bsky.social @oulu.fi ! See links below and apply by 3.5.2026.

*New paper*
Big congratulations to our former MSc student Alexandra Kuttnig for having her thesis published! 🎉
Alex studied how seasonality and grazing exclosures shape bird community dynamics in West African drylands. 🐦🌾🐏🌳
📃 Full paper (incl Alex's beautiful drawings!): doi.org/10.1002/ece3...
📦 My new R package {spatialData} is on CRAN! 🎉
Ecological datasets as sf data frames and their companion raster data ready for analysis and modeling.
Built as example data for R packages, but great for teaching too!

The thermophilisation rate of plant communities in response to global warming is 5 times faster on alpine summits than in forests or grasslands across 🇪🇺
This finding corroborates former findings on the greater likelihood for upslope than poleward range shifts of plants 🌳🌲☘️🌾🪻🌼

On my way to #EGU26, perfect time to drop a new post! 🗺️ Something I've been wanting to write about: Mercator projections still showing up in high-profile journals. So here it is: projections you should stop using (for most things) 👇
