research stories on greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands, wetlands and permafrost soils.

[PermaFlux @FluxPerma]

Our mesocosm #incubations of #permafrost soil are now up and running! Here, we are measuring #CO2 and #CH4 emissions of the cores.
Also a big thank you to the team at @zalf_leibniz for the great support :) #FluxWIN

Following a very productive field #expedition, our PhD student Melissa and our Master student Madina have now been working tirelessly in the climate chamber to prepare the #permafrost cores for their mesocosm #incubation experiments. #FluxWIN

After a successful week in the field, our team has safely returned home from their #expedition to Finnish #Lapland. Our PhD student Mélissa is now excited to start her mesocosm #incubation experiments and look at the greenhouse gas production of #permafrost soils. #FluxWIN

During our winter #Lapland expedition this month, we were blessed with amazing weather and great field conditions for sampling #permafrost cores. #FluxWIN

Our PhD student Mélissa has just recently returned from a successful field work trip to Finnish #Lapland. With support from @WindirschTorben and Jens Strauss, she drilled for #permafrost cores for her mesocosm #incubation experiments. #FluxWIN

At the WMO conference in Geneva two weeks ago, our postdoc Lona van Delden gave an introduction on her automated chamber system at #Siikaneva peatland. #FluxWIN #golona

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

WMO hosted a major symposium this week to work towards a new Global #GreenhouseGas Monitoring Infrastructure to support #ClimateAction and help us cut emissions of CO2, methane etc which are driving #ClimateChange
Stay tuned for updates

First field trip in 2023 - we went to the Siikaneva #peatland for some maintenance work on our autochambers #FluxWIN

A first very successful testrun of coring #permafrost with the SIPRE at a #palsa site in Kilpisjärvi, Finnish Lapland. #FluxWIN

Measuring CO2 and CH4 fluxes from individual plants with our self-designed manual chamber at Siikaneva peatland this fall. #FluxWIN

Fun times exploring a #peatland in the Potsdam region. We tested out this floating mat and even found some #sphagnum moss and sundew. Great to have a #science playground at our fingertips! #FluxWIN

#throwback to our very wet #wetland tour a few weeks ago with Prof. Dr. Diekmann, head of AWI Potsdam. We learned a lot about the #geology and #geomorphology of the region and enjoyed exploring different sites - as usual, dressed with style to defy the rainy weather.
