Daria Ferraris, PhD student with Marta Galvagno and Dario Papale, started here 4-month visit with us to work on intercomparing CO2 flux measurements of a grazed and shrub-encroached mountain grassland and a mountain forest in Aosta Valley.

This Friday we were visited by both Alon Angert from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, with whom we discussed COS isotopes, but also the CLIMERS group from TU Wien, with whom we discussed deployment of a GNSS system for quantifying vegetation water content at the FAIR site.

The picture below shows Ruxandra, Nico and Wouter enjoying late summer conditions at the FAIR site.

Alon Angert (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) was visiting us this week in order to discuss some COS science, especially with regard to stable isotopes of COS. Of course we also made Alon visit the FAIR field site despite (or because of) the wintery conditions.
