Greenhouse gas exchange across the sub Arctic; simultaneous hands on measurements and scaling at different sites
5 ECTS 28 May 28 June 2024

The course introduces the concepts of scaling point measurements of GHG gas exchange to local scale using Remote Sensing with drones (UAV) for mapping One of the aims of this course is to reduce teacher and student travel by air and use present days methods for joint teaching and joint data analysis between groups doing similar measurements at three different field locations, using file sharing, on line cooperation, and Jupyter Notebooks as virtual research environment (VRE). T herefore, participants are expected to use trains or buses, where possible, to get to the teaching campus and from there to the field site The course includes an intensive field week from 10 14 June that will simultaneously take place at: i) Stordalen, Abisko in Sweden, ii) Oulanka, Finland and iii) Laekur, W-Iceland. Those three sites have ongoing large scale measurements of GHG exchange with eddy covariance technique and chamber measurements will be used during the week.

WHO CAN APPLY: Both advanced master level and PhD students in Earth System sciences are invited to apply.

CREDITS and organizers: 5 ECTS corresponding to three full working weeks. The course is part of the ABS project We belong funded by NordPlus higher Education (NPHE 2022/10074), and also supported by NOVA and EU project Greenfeedback.
