Biomet goes aquatic!

Within the project ALCH4, in collaboration with the Free University of Bolzano and the CNR Firenze and funded by the Province Südtirol/Alto Adige, we will be conducting mobile eddy covariance methane flux measurements from lakes in the Alpine region during the next two years. Today the basis for the mobile flux platform, the boat, arrived.

ExCarb workshop

Kathi and Georg attended the ExCarb workshop at Lunz to discuss progress with joint publications as the project winds down. Below a few impressions from the flux station.

End of advection campaign in Torgnon

Yesterday, Marta and colleagues from ARPA dismantled the advection equipment that was in place since July at the grassland of Torgnon (this time without a helicopter but a lot of motivated man-power). The equipment will remain in Aosta until next summer, when it is planned to be deployed at the Larch flux tower.
