Scanning electron microscope images of the spherical cyanobacteria Synechococcus sp. PCC7002 and the precipitated iron minerals.
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.

Business & biodiversity are intertwined. 🧪 From material dependencies to transition risks, the IPBES #BizBiodiversity Report shows how companies can transform their relationships w/ nature. Addressing impacts & dependencies is a responsibility & path to innovation, efficiency & long-term resilience.

"Wer die Natur zerstört, gefährdet die eigene Wirtschaft"
Ohne intakte Natur bricht die Wirtschaft zusammen: Biodiversität wird zur zentralen Frage für Unternehmen, Standorte und die Zukunft.
❌ Wer Natur zerstört, gefährdet die eigene wirtschaftliche Basis. Wer sie schützt, sichert Innovationsfähigkeit, Resilienz & Wettbewerbsfähigkeit 🤝.
Wie das konkret aussehen kann, schildert Daniel Rieger, NABU-Fachbereichsleiter Transformation, im Gastbeitrag. ⬇️

#Wetlands matter more than we think!
They regulate the #climate, store significant amounts of #carbon and protect communities from floods. However, wetlands are disappearing faster than many other ecosystems.

Back from the ice! ❄️✨
Our group member @alexandrazuhr.bsky.social has safely returned from Antarctica after an intense field campaign. She drilled several firn cores that will be key to dating and interpreting airborne radar data collected with Polar6.
Excited for the science to come!
