Weltraumrechtler Christian Brünner präsentiert neuestes Buch

Den Blick aus dem Weltraum nutzen wir mittlerweile alle tagtäglich. Welche rechtlichen Fragen sich daraus ergeben, dass wir ständig unter Satellitenbeobachtung stehen, hinterfragt hingegen kaum jemand. Christian Brünner, international renommierter Experte für Weltraumrecht, hat einige Aspekte in seinem aktuellsten Buch „Satellite-Based Earth Observation. Trends and Challenges for Economy and Society” behandelt, das er gestern an der Universität Graz präsentierte. Wie uns die Technik aus dem All unterstützt, führten auch Klimaforscher Gottfried Kirchengast sowie Nikolaus Neugebauer von der Österreichischen Hagelversicherung aus. Sie referierten zu den Themen „Erdbeobachtung im Dienste des Klimas“ beziehungsweise „im Dienste der Landwirtschaft“.
Das vorgestellte Buch wurde übrigens bereits mit dem Social Sciences Book Award 2019 von der International Academy of Astronautics ausgezeichnet.

Here she relays how sciences can contribute to the topic of standardisation and reveals her personal favourite standard.

Survival strategies: How plants respond to drought

According to Geosphere Austria, this spring was the driest in Austria since records began around 170 years ago. The low rainfall put particular pressure on the agricultural sector.

We asked Johannes Liesche, a professor at the Department of Biology at the University of Graz, how plants react to water shortages and how they survive periods of drought.
