Isotope Research Vienna

We wield our tools of choice, light stable isotopes, to investigate soil processes, impacts of climate change and the biology and ecology of insects.

Yesterday we (and our posters) arrived in Kuopio, Finnland, to join #JESIUM2022. We are looking forward to meet up with the european #stableisotope community and share new developments in the field.

We explore stabile isotope signitures of Sessile Oaks in the austrian national park Thayatal, aiming to identify drought tolerant trees prepared for #ClimateChange. #stableisotopeecology at @BOKUvienna

#Klima-Forschungsprojekt "Climagrocycle": Zukünftig werden im pannonischen Raum die Trockenperioden länger & häufiger & auch die Starkregenereignisse zunehmen. Das #AGES-Projekt will ermitteln, wie dies die Funktionen des Agroökosystems beeinflussen wird. https://t.co/vfQWZzXLF2

Our field team at @agesnews harvesting wheat from lysimeters for the 'Climagrocycle' project. On 3 soils from pannonian region we simulate dry periods which will occur more often and over longer periods in the future, as well as heavy rain fall events #climatechange @BOKUvienna

Thanks for the great session at #EGU19 following #land and #soil #carbon dynamics from fundamental sciences to international #policy-making! Thanks @PanosPanagos33 Chris Lennard, Claire Chenu, Rebecca Hood-Nowotny @Chl0e_Hill @connorsSL @TeaBagIndex @IPCC_CH @EGU_SSS

Wir haben im Zuge unseres @FWF_at #WissKomm Projekts an der @BOKUvienna einen Podcast produziert, indem Experten zum Thema #Biochar informieren. https://t.co/WXQawLpY08

Today is #WorldSoilDay, a date to remind us that we need to play our part in order to minimize the effects of #ClimateChange. We do our best and keep our hands dirty #soilscience

[Isotope Research Vienna @BOKU_ISO]

Our postdoc Simon illustrated the principles of #stableisotope measurement using our #IRMS to a class of @BOKUvienna master students. We also had a detailed look at an old ion source and a #multicollector equipped with 6 Faraday cups

As part of our @FWF_at funded #biochar project, we organized a science communication conference at the #gartentulln.

[biochar.net2u @Biochar_NET_2_U]

Das war der Big Biochar Net-2-U-2 Day in Die Garten Tulln: spannende Vorträge, Workshop, interessante Diskussionen rund um das Thema #Biokohle, gemütlicher Ausklang im Garten bei einer Grillerei mit unserem KonTiki-Biokohle Meiler.

One of our young scientists is presenting his first results from the assessment of EDTA-washed soil, contaminated with Pb, Cd and Zn at the #ICCS18. We will start next year with the application of 13C/15N labeled green manure, monitoring soil functions. #soilscience

Cool soil scientist !! https://t.co/2Qsx4rRySb

[Isotope Research Vienna @BOKU_ISO]

This is our newest box used for 13C labeling of plant material. The 13C enriched green manure will be used to investigate nutrient cycling and behavior of soil MOs in trace metal contaminated soils, treated by an EDTA washing procedure #stableisotopes @FWF_at @BOKUvienna

Our resident isotopologist, Rebecca Hood-Nowotny presents her soil's icon of the month #IUSS! Soils are at the heart of our lives, therefore, together we constantly work towards creating a bigger awareness it's ecological importance. #soil https://t.co/16STnFhqgl

[Isotope Research Vienna @BOKU_ISO]

What is the impact of biochar on organic nitrogen fixation? We will present the result of our project @Biochar_NET_2_U #biochar #citizenscience #wisskomm

[Isotope Research Vienna @BOKU_ISO]

This is us, the new stable isotope research group at the @BOKUvienna
