ECHO – May 2025
In a time when facts are challenged and disinformation undermines trust, the relationship between science and society faces growing uncertainty, but is more important than ever. This edition of ECHO explores what history and critical reflection can teach us: Historian Nils Güttler revisits the environmental and feminist movements of the 1970s and ’80s, which questioned scientific authority – not to reject it, but to enrich it through alternative forms of knowledge. What lessons do these “counter-knowledges” hold for today?

ECHO – January 2025
In this edition we look at the invisible but crucial layers of our planet's ecosystem and the cutting-edge research being carried out by our members in the Environment and Climate Research Hub (ECH) at the University of Vienna: From carbon capture technologies and a powerful greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, to the hidden effects of warming groundwater beneath the Earth's crust. We invite you to take a look at the emission reduction plans of some of the EU's biggest industries, which reveal their reliance on carbon capture technologies - and what the consequences could be.

ECHO – October 2024
Today we invite you to take a deep dive into the different research areas of the Environment and Climate Research Hub (ECH). We present a selection of our members' current publications. In line with the Hub's interdisciplinary approach, we cover a wide range of topics: From a cultural-historical look at what humans call climate, to deep-sea snow and the policy implications of digital ocean twins. We also reflect on 20 years of microplastics research, examine the social and behavioral science perspectives, and learn more on the researchers’ call for joint international action on microplastics.
