About this blog

This blog is about environmental and public space topics on which little to nothing has ever been written in English, with digressions into design and architecture. Mostly it’s about interesting things in Germany, where I live. I work on urban ecosystems, water and climate and have a Ph.D. in urban forest ecology. You can find more about me here and I have a completely separate blog where I post my photos of travels, design and art, and there too, most of them depict things that you can’t see anywhere else online.
