Despite the snow, Biomet group members are active in the field:
Kathi visited the Lunzer See eddy site for some maintenance.
Federico tested the impact of different integrated sampling times on bacterial DNA yields.

… active at our field site Neustift 😉
Everybody else being busy, Albin recently had to rely on his son’s help to do the necessary maintenance of the flux tower.
With the frame of the recently completed Biogeosciences Special Issue „Towards the full GHG balance of the biosphere“ (http://www.biogeosciences.net/special_issue128.html), Georg contributed to the corresponding preface:
Merbold L., Wohlfahrt G., Butterbach-Bahl K., Pilegaard K., DelSontro T., Stoy P., Zona D. (2015) Preface: Towards a full greenhouse gas balance of the biosphere. Biogeosciences 12, 453-456, doi: 10.5194/bg-12-453-2015.
Another paper by Lukas and Georg has been published in the Special Issue already in December 2014:

Another paper was published today in ACPD:

Today Genki Katata, presently visiting scientist at KIT Garmisch-Partenkirchen, visited us to discuss about modelling grassland carbon and energy fluxes. The picture shows Genki (second on left) and part of the Biomet group enjoing lunch after an exhausting discussion about Bayesian calibration, parameter equifinality and other complicated stuff.
The paper reporting the outcomes of the first gaseous elemental mercury eddy covariance flux measurements near Reno/Nevada has finally come out in Environmental Science & Technology:
