📣New paper📣
We measured #VOC & #CO2 fluxes from 3 ponds in a peatland forest using floating chambers. Understanding of freshwater ecosystems as VOC sources is poor, so this work led by Y. Qin, published in #ASLO_LO provides important new data.

Amanda Ammentorp Pedersen did a fantastic job discussing her MSc project at the thesis defence held this week. Amanda's work focused on how Salix herbacea responds to climate warming along a snow melt gradient in Greenland. Stay tuned for a publication later. :)

A PhD defense starting and I'm in the evaluation committee. I don't know the two other committee members. And suddenly I realize I haven't even read the thesis. I really need to go to the toilet when the defense starts–and I can't find the way back to the auditorium.
Time for vacation, right?

Proud of MSc Toke Sjøgren from @voltcenter.bsky.social, who brilliantly defended his MSc project on plant VOCs from common European trees under heat and ozone stress.
Toke was co-supervised by @evayp.bsky.social from @fz-juelich.de. All the best with your future endeavors, Toke!

#EGU25 was amazing! Will take some days to recover from the science overload.
I truly enjoyed listening to inspiring talks and checking out posters. The great debate on methane. A few jogs by the Donau. Met many old and new colleagues and friends. Missed at least as many... Until next time!

I am definitely a terrestrial person, so tomorrow I may be in deep water when I tell about our work on VOCs in freshwater and marine ecosystems, May 1st at 10:45 in room E2 at #EGU25.
The photo is evidence for that I have been by a lake shore. 2018, starting #EddyCovariance measurements in Abisko.

Happy Friday! Here in Denmark it comes with Friday beers (naturally European).
It has been a nice week planning fieldwork in Greenland 🇬🇱 and Sweden🇸🇪, discussing data and manuscripts, giving feedback to students, organizing our upcoming symposium. Normal things in the otherwise crazy world.
