Twitter account of Institute of Geo-Hydroinformatics @TUHamburg. We are interested in #soil, #water, #environment & #climate related challenges.
A new video in our 'Soil Sampling' series is out, showcasing the fundamentals of soil sampling, this time with a focus on how to measure bulk density. Watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=N_K5Sx… #AI4SoilHealth #SoilHealth
We're offering a great new job opportunity ! Join our team to study saline dust storms from drying lakes. Apply here: stellenportal.tuhh.de/jobposting/f43… #PhD #ClimateScience #EnvironmentalEngineering #DustStorms #ClimateInformedEngineering
New #outreach article by the head of our institute in @ConversationUK! 🔗 lnkd.in/e6X3Jr9v
On today’s World Day to Combat Desertification & Drought, I wrote a piece for @ConversationUK on how AI, remote sensing & big data can help restore #SoilHealth globally. Here is the link: theconversation.com/declining-soil… #DesertificationAndDroughtDay #SaveSoil @AI4SoilHealth @GHI_TUHH
Sharing a few moments from today’s #teaching activities at the CampusLAB on Global Soil Health, Water, and Climate #UNUHubAtTUHH #SoilHealth #TUHamburg



🌍 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 — a quick glimpse at how UNU Hubs are uniting for change. Stay tuned for more from this milestone event. #WorldEnvironmentDay2025
I shared insights on how soil degradation is intensifying sand and dust storms in an interview with @SanamMahoozi published in @Forbes. If we’re serious about building resilient communities and achieving the SDGs, #soil must be part of the conversation. forbes.com/sites/sanammah…
Join us now at #EGU2025 in Room 2.31 "Fate of Water Reservoirs: Global Change Implications on Sustainable Water Management" (HS5.1.4), coordinated by Milad Aminzadeh, Sarah Null, @KavehMadani, and @NimaShokri_GHI. 🕥 10:45–12:10 CEST 📍 Room 2.31

Join us next week at #EGU25 showcasing our latest research at @GHI_TUHH , on a wide range of multiscale environmental topics. Feel free to stop by and discover what we’ve been working on at @TUHamburg, excited to connect and share ideas!

#WorldWaterDay 2025 highlights the urgent need for glacier preservation to safeguard our freshwater resources. At @GHI_TUHH, we contribute to this mission e.g. by experiments to uncover the mechanisms driving water evaporation in rivers. @Lintong_H, @NimaShokri_GHI, @TUHamburg

This week we had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Dani Or from @unevadareno at @TUHamburg ! His visit offered fascinating insights into wildfire dynamics, sparking engaging discussions and new research ideas @NimaShokri_GHI @Lintong_H .

We have a fully funded 4-year PhD position at our institute. In collaboration with @UNUINWEH & @KavehMadani, we aim to develop models using big data analytics to predict dust storms globally — a key to protecting the environment & human health. Apply here: stellenportal.tuhh.de/jobposting/50a…
Join us at #EGU25 for the session "Fate of Water Reservoirs: Global Change Implications on Sustainable Water Management" (HS5.1.4), coordinated by @KavehMadani, Sarah Null, Milad Aminzadeh, and me. I’ll attend in person and look forward to connecting! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…
World’s first climate-focused @UNUniversity Hub at @TUHamburg presents a unique opportunity to harness our engineering expertise to address global environmental challenges. Here with our MSc students, united by a shared passion and vision #SaveSoil #UNUHubAtTUHH @UNUINWEH

🔎Research Snippet: At GHI we're investigating river flow to explore how flow states & environmental factors impact evaporation rates. By collecting detailed data, we're building a foundation for better river system models & tracking global fluvial water losses! @Lintong_H 💧🌎

Our RTG proposal on Climate-Informed Engineering has been awarded ~€7M by DFG! Together with @maxplanckpress & @UNUINWEH, we’ll train a new generation of engineers to develop climate-informed solutions to protect people, businesses & ecosystems against #climate change & extremes
As soil salinization intensifies, it poses serious threats to ecosystems, soil health, global food security and socio-economic stability.🌾 Learn more in @AGU_Eos: lite.spr.ly/60008aTO @NimaShokri_GHI #AGUPubs #SDG2 #OpenAccess #Soil
Soil salinization is a growing threat to #SoilHealth. It was a pleasure to speak at the Drought Resilience +10 Conference, organized by @UNCCD, at @WMO in Geneva. I discussed salinization-#drought nexus & how #AI and #BigData can help to characterize & predict soil #salinization.
UNU-INWEH Science Talks (Online, Open to Public) A Novel Approach for Quantifying #Soil Degradation Speaker: Prof. Nima Shokri, Executive Co-Director of UNU Hub at Hamburg University of Technology Time: 10 am EST, 11 September Event page: unu.edu/inweh/event/sc… #webinar
We celebrated the launch of the world's first climate-focused UNU Hub on "Engineering to Face Climate Change" at @TUHamburg, bringing tangible benefits to Hamburg, Germany & the world. Special thanks to @tmarwala, @KavehMadani, @UNUniversity, @UNUINWEH & @hh_bwfgb #Engineering
Unveiling the Global Extent of Land Subsidence: The Sinking Crisis. In our recent paper led by @ptahmasebi1, we produced the first global map of land #subsidence rates affecting security of #infrastructure & #environment Details in our @theAGU GRL paper: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
