Last Friday Karolina was invited to present her research on chlorophyll-deficient mutants as a means to increase the planetary albedo and thus counteract global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions at the finals of the Euregio young researcher competition and achieved the 3rd place – congratulations!

Here a few (external) links to sites that recently covered our lake-atmosphere methane flux measurements presently conducted within the ALCH4 project in collaboration between the University of Innsbruck, the Free University of Bozen/Bolzano and CNR Ibimet.
At present the power line to our upcoming forest flux tower near Obermieming is being established – see pics courtesy of Markus Wörz.
Last week Marta and Georg set up the advection equipment that in a previous FWF project was used at grasslands in the larch forest flux tower in Torgnon (Aosta valley) to quantify the contribution of advection to the CO2 balance of the forest.
Within the frame of the project ALCH4 (funded by Province of South Tyrol/Alto Adige), Kathi, Enrico and our intern Benni are busy conducting lake-atmosphere methane flux measurements using our mobile platform (see picture on Kalterer See/Lago Caldaro; link to short video).
