ICOS Germany

UBA (Umweltbundesamt) - Germany's Federal Environment Agency - has a job opening (technical assistance) in their Air Quality Monitoring Network. Exciting work place on top of Zugspitze! For details check: interamt.de/koop/app/stell…

FLUXES, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin is out! The latest issue sheds light on an essential tool to help decision-makers assess progress towards net zero: science-based Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems. Read more in #FLUXES: bit.ly/4e3d6qt

Two ICOS Ecosystem stations were awarded recently for their particular commitment to data quality🏆👏 We spoke to the Principal Investigators of the Brasschaat and Rollesbroich stations about what the recognition means to them and what their best tips are for running a successful ecosystem station 💡 Read more: bit.ly/3VKAgL8

The latest video of our #ExploreICOS series is out! This time we visit the Gebesee Ecosystem station in Germany🌻 What makes the site unique? And what have they discovered recently about soil health? ➡️Watch the video: youtu.be/bpmysXTMJUg⬅️ @ICOS_Germany @ThuenenClimSoil

ICOS Germany held its annual meeting at @MPI_BGC. Lots of informative talks around domain-specific topics, e.g. recent developments of the G3W Initiative of WMO or ecosystem disturbances. A highlight was the visit of the ICOS Flask and Calibration Lab - thanks to the FCL team!

PhD position available at Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture in Braunschweig, Germany. Interested in working with eddy-covariance data from agricultural sites? Passionate about field work? Curious about carbon and nitrogen cycling? Check the posting and apply!

Land carbon uptake vs. albedo - New paper out by Alex Graf et al. on "Joint optimization of land carbon uptake and albedo can help achieve [...] cooling effects" including many site-years from ICOS stations. rdcu.be/dknHs See also blog post: earthenvironmentcommunity.nature.com/posts/reflect-…

Exciting new dates to add to your scientific calendars for autumn 2024: the 6th ICOS Science Conference will be held on 10-12th September in Versailles, France! 🥳 More info: icos-cp.eu/event/1336 #ICOS2024SC

Field crews of ICOS Germany gathered at Gebesee crop site for exchanging technical details about site operation and getting updated on recent developments in agricultural practices...and a brief history of tractors and harvesters.🤩Thanks to all participants and the local farmer!

It is this time of the year... with sunflower at ICOS crop site DE-Geb! Gebesee field crew in action - GAI and vegetation sampling for Leaf Mass Area and Nutrient Analysis. 👍😎🌻

In the summer, trees are able to compensate the emissions so the site becomes a carbon sink during the daytime. For the rest of the time, however, this is the opposite. (4/5)

Thank you to the incredible Gebesee crew for your hard work with greenhouse gas measurements! It was a pleasure to visit the site 🌻 Stay tuned for an upcoming #ExploreICOS video!

Recently there have been alarming signs of the Gebesee site losing carbon (based on eddy covariance and harvest data) despite frequent organic fertilization. More on that can be read in FLUXES vol 2: bit.ly/3NYPDdZ

Welcome to the ICOS station Gebesee in Germany! Gebesee is one of the longest-running eddy covariance cropland sites in the ICOS network, collecting data for 22 years.

FLUXES, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin is out! 🌍 This latest issue of #FLUXES explores the potential and limitations of nature-based solutions for carbon removal from a scientific perspective, focusing on land ecosystems and the ocean. Read more: icos-cp.eu/fluxes/2

@ICOS_Germany held its annual meeting at Schneefernerhaus on top of Zugspitze! Lots of interesting talks around focal topics from all domains. Terrific views from Germany's highest point...!

ICOS at #COP27: ICOS side event "Systematic observation of greenhouse gases (GHG) to support climate action in cities and regions" just wrapped. Thank you to all the speakers and the audience for the engaging talks!

📢 We have an open (permanent) technician position @WWU_Muenster. Experience with environmental sensors is a big plus! You will have an entire workshop to yourself😉. Apply here: stellen.wwu.de/jobposting/be7…
