Geologe Kurt Stüwe stellte neuen Bildband „Panoramen der Steiermark“ vor

Er erforscht die geologische Geschichte von Afrika und war in Grönland auf den Spuren Alfred Wegeners unterwegs. Für sein neuestes Projekt blieb Kurt Stüwe, Erdwisenschafter an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, auf heimischem Gebiet und beobachtete die Steiermark von oben. Gemeinsam mit dem Fotografen Ruedi Homberger dokumentiert Stüwe in einem druckfrischen Buch die landschaftliche Vielfalt des „grünen Herzens Österreichs“ aus der Vogelperspektive. 200 Seiten umfasst der Bildband „Panoramen der Steiermark“, der, so die beiden Autoren, ganz in der Tradition des steirischen Landschaftsfotografen Hans Gsellmann entstanden ist. Am 6. Dezember 2017 wurde das Buch in den Gewächshäusern des Botanischen Gartens der Uni Graz präsentiert.

„Die Steiermark ist geologisch eines der vielfältigsten Gebiete des Alpenbogens“, erklärte Kurt Stüwe seine Faszination für das Bundesland. „Geologie ist auch eng mit Geschichte, Wirtschaft und Wachstum verbunden. So hängt mit dem Erzberg eng die kulturelle Blüte der Renaissance oder die industrielle Entwicklung der Mur-Mürz-Furche zusammen.“ Bis zu 100 Flugstunden war das Team unterwegs. „Das Abenteuer war auch dabei“, gestand Homberger, der auch Pilot ist.

Die zum Buch gehörige Webseite http://www.luftbildsteiermark.at/ bietet einen Großteil der Fotos zum Download sowie Lernunterstützung für Schulen an, zudem versteht sie sich als Beitrag für Fotodokumentationen der Steiermark.

Der Bildband „Panoramen der Steiermark“, erschienen im Weishaupt Verlag, ist im Buchhandel um 48 Euro erhältlich.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
