July 2025: Field campaign in Albacete (Spain)
From 7 to 11 July 2025, a preliminary visit was made to the site where the actual field sampling will take place during the prescribed burns. There, Karthika was able to meet our colleague from the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), Jorge de las Heras.
She could already conduct a preliminary assessment of the area and collect reference soil samples. We look forward to the upcoming major field campaign! Stay tuned!!

April 2025: EGU conference in Vienna (Austria)
Our PhD Bhavana Valath Buan Dhas presented our recent work on bioaerosols carried out at the Leipzig Canopy Crane at the EGU conference. She showed the importance of seasons and source contributions for airborne biological particles.
We are very proud that she was able to present her work at such an international conference that brings together multiple scientific disciplines. Congratulations! 🙂

March 2025: Workshop in Lyon
This month, the entire group participated in the workshop ‘Arqus Winter School & Workshop: Bioaerosols and Their Impacts on Health and Climate Change’ alongside other scientists who are also working on projects related to bioaerosols. Organised by the University of Lyon 1 (France) as part of Arqus Living Labs (WG02).
Some of my research contributions to health and the environment and also to making science understandable to the general public can be seen in the following videos:
