We’ll make it HAPN! 🚀
Excited to represent @ufz.de at the 1st Annual Meeting of the Helmholtz Association Postdoc Network (HAPN) alongside Yamini Yogya.
The mission is clear: to strengthen the Helmholtz postdoctoral experience personally and professionally across all Helmholtz Centers!
Meet our ECR of the month 𝗗𝗿. 𝗬𝗶𝘄𝗲𝗶 𝗝𝗶𝗮𝗻! 💫
Yiwei's work focuses on impacts and attribution of climate extremes and compound events on agriculture, crop modelling and food security 🌾💧🌐

🎉 New in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science: “Challenges in assessing Fire Weather changes in a warming climate.”
We quantify a ~65% rise in extreme fire‑weather days (1980–2023) and show common daily‑proxy methods can overestimate trends by up to 10%.

Thanks to @daadworldwide.bsky.social for supporting my research stay @ccrc.bsky.social and @ufz.de for hosting my @humboldt-foundation.de postdoctoral fellowship and doing a great press-release piece www.ufz.de/index.php?en...
Very happy to share the first authorship w/ @dresearchdson.bsky.social alongside w/ @fuldenbatibeniz.bsky.social @yannquilcaille.bsky.social Andrea Taschetto, Andy Pitman and @zscheischlerjak.bsky.social
In the coming decades, simultaneous fire weather in eastern Australia and western North America will likely become a recurring feature. Such overlaps are expected to constrain current resource-sharing agreements and the capacity of these nations to respond to large-scale wildfires.
Years of high fire weather season overlap co-occur with El Niño-like sea surface temperatures, especially with a Central Pacific El Niño signature.
We found that the fire weather seasons in the two regions are increasingly overlapping by one day per year since 1979. The increase in overlap is driven primarily by the earlier start of the eastern Australia fire season, which now overlaps more with the late season fires in western North America.
We analyzed the risk of simultaneous fire weather between eastern Australia and western North America, two regions linked by firefighting cooperation agreements that involve sharing resources such as aircraft and personnel.
On International Firefighters’ Day, happy to share our latest research about challenges in international firefighting cooperation due to increasing fire weather season overlap between Australia and North America.

Great study led by Jonas Schmitt: doi.org/10.1111/agec.12851
We analyzed concurrent on-farm yield losses of different crops to explore how crop diversification mitigates drought risks: growing crops with varying temporally water needs and phenological phases is more effective 🌧️🌾
