Within the frame of an excursion organized by the Research Area Mountain Regions of the University of Innsbruck, students visited the FAIR site today. Wolfgang Gurgiser, Stefan Mayr and Albin explained the scope of the research activities and the associated measurements. Below a few impressions (pictures courtesy Wolfgang Gurgiser).
We’re delighted to announce that we have received notice that two of our submitted projects will receive funding. The first one goes to Lorenz Hänchen, who received funding for the project “EARLY – Early drought stress detection in Alpine Grassland Ecosystems” by the Forschungszentrum Berglandwirtschaft of the University of Innsbruck. The second one goes to Martin Rutzinger (Department of Geography), Magnus Bremer (LaserData) and Georg for the project “BeatTheBeetle – Early detection of spruce bark beetle in Austria using remote sensing”, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).
Klea and Chloe will spend the next months with us doing internships on soil respiration and sap flux at the FAIR site. In the picture below they enjoy the snow brought by the recent coldspell at the FAIR site.
