Sachse Lab (Organic Surface Geochemistry) at GFZ Potsdam, using molecular approaches to decipher past hydrological changes and quantify earth surface processes
#HelloMonsoon station 5 at Lete running, located at orographic barrier right between Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, next to our river gauge. Appreciate the new highway. Now we have to climb to the highest location, 3600 m asl. @GFZ_Potsdam@basanta58_raj@paleohydrology
#HelloMonsoon station 4 is up and running at Marpha. This is the northern end of the transect, located already in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, annual precipitation ~450 mm. @GFZ_Potsdam@basanta58_raj@paleohydrology
First sampler of the #HelloMonsoon project is up and running. This is the southern most location, close to India. 5 more to come on our way across the Himalayas.I am keen to know how the record heat waves is reflected in the rain isotopes. @GFZ_Potsdam@paleohydrology
Track the long-awaited field season for the #HelloMonsoon project: GFZ goes to Nepal Himalayas to monitor the #monsoon with 6 own developed automatic rainfall samplers. How do the rain sources change? What is the effect of large agricultural areas south of the Himalayas? 1/3
Collecting material for our rainwater autosampler with our friends at RTS in Kathmandu Nepal before we set off to deploy them for #HelloMonsoon project! with @ChrisAndermann and @GFZ_Potsdam
Arrived in Kathmandu for the #HelloMonsoon project. Today signed MoU between @GFZ_Potsdam and IoE-Centre for Disaster Studies,Tribhuvan University with @basanta58_raj Looking foreword for exciting collaborative research
Embarking for long-awaited #HelloMonsoon project. Our own developed automatic rainfall samplers #AIRWAVES on the way to Nepal Himalayas. Following moisture supply with stable water isotope. Sampling high resolution rainfall across the mountain range. @GFZ_Potsdam
ABSTRACT DEADLINE EXTENTION!
