Flux tower maintenance: the ultimate Monday reset. Climbing gear on, sensors humming, data flowing. Who needs coffee when you’ve got eddy covariance and a view like this? Awesome work by Peter and Tobias

Wrapped up a great fieldwork day with our MSc Physical Geography students! Today they dismantled the eddy covariance tower they installed at the start of the course, marking the end of six weeks of successful flux measurements. Great teamwork and solid science in action!

We had the pleasure of meeting up with Professor Paul Stoy in Lund this week—he joined us as the opponent for a PhD defense and still made time to visit our agricultural EC flux field site. Great science, good vibes, and even better company!

Nice change of scenery during today's excursion to "Tavastland", currently docked in Landskrona. Thanks Madeleine for showing & explaining the ferry box setup. Measurements by #SMHI as part of @icossweden.bsky.social & data from other ships of opportunity contribute to the @icos-ri.eu Ocean Domain.
