Proving extinction is hard. But we can do so now.
For decades, climate change ecology has mostly been a story about shifts: species moving upslope, poleward, tracking the climate they’re adapted to as it slides out from under them. It’s one of the best-documented fingerprints of warming in nature. What … Continue reading

Mountain road microclimate
This is a massively important paper. At least for me. It brings together the work I’ve been doing in the Mountain Invasion Research Network and the Microclimate Ecology & Biogeography Network. And it finally answers one of the key research … Continue reading
Where the soundscape is pleasant
So, where in Flanders does it still sound nice? A simple question, perhaps. But one for which the data has long remained elusive. Sound is a complex, multi-dimensional beast, and capturing how people actually experience it is not straightforward. In … Continue reading
Don’t mess with physics
Gather ‘round, my friends, because this one is important! A few years ago, we released our Global maps of soil temperature – a project that brought climate data much closer to the conditions that actually matter for the organisms living … Continue reading
A new chapter: looking back, looking forward
Last year I wrote about a major milestone: moving The 3D Lab to Utrecht University and stepping into my role as assistant professor in ecological scaling. Today, I’m happy to share the next chapter in that story: as of November, … Continue reading
How to set up your own microclimate network
Back in 2021, we had an important thought: maybe we should start treating microclimate the same way we treat macroclimate. Weather and climate are monitored by national governments through organized, standardized networks – so why not microclimate too? We wrote … Continue reading
