Ready for a week of #EGU26 !!
Let me know if you want to catch up. And do not miss our poster on mountain birch forest VOC emissions, Thursday 10:45-12:30, Hall X1, X1.7
We are looking for a PhD student!
Do you want to analyze gas and particle urban pollution in Barcelona using real-time mass spectrometry? See link for further info 👇🏼
📢We're offering a 4-year #PhDcontract to study organic pollutants in the urban atmosphere.
As a PhD candidate, you'll conduct high-time-resolution measurements of VOCs and aerosols at our urban supersite.
Deadline to apply: 7 November

🌳🔥És possible un incendi com el de Los Angeles al @parcncollserola?
L'alumnat de @EscolaPoveda ha mesurat les condicions d'humitat, llum, temperatura i flora per trobar-ne la resposta amb Albert Egea, Roger Seco i @natalimorenop de l'@IDAEA_CSIC per trobar-hi resposta
🤔 Thinking of building a multi-enclosure system for biosphere-atmosphere gas exchange studies?
Check out how we did it for the "Fluxtron" at the Guenther lab @uciessdoi.org/10.1016/j.chemospher… 👇🏼

I would like to introduce our new paper in Nature Communications, which is the result of a highly successful international collaboration with @VOLT_center , @Riikka_Rinnan , @atzukac , @LundJing , @lejishvettikkat , and other great collaborators. We found that the sedges in the Arctic have a different temperature response curve compared to other known isoprene emitters, which explains the high temperature sensitivity of isoprene emission observed through whole-ecosystem flux measurements. By integrating our findings, the updated model predicted a 20% increase in isoprene emissions from the high-latitude regions in the Northern Hemisphere. We also found that the existing model had underestimated the long-term trend of isoprene emissions by 55% for high-latitude regions with Arctic warming nature.com/articles/s41467-0….
Last week I gave 2 talks to students:
1️⃣ @INSCelesBellera middle schoolers (13-year-olds) about air pollution caused by automobiles 🚙💨
2️⃣ @FisicaUB master students about the use of micrometeorology 🌀 to measure ecosystem gas fluxes and a visit to IDAEA's air monitoring cabins

Super happy and excited: our #ECOSENSE SFB got funded! New ways to assess and model spatio-temporal dynamics in forest by smart autonomous sensor networks. Much looking forward to this excited team from @uni Freiburg and @KIT and my co-leader Ulrike Wallrabe (@IMTEK).
🌞Open positions alert!🌞
We are soon announcing several positions at @VOLT_center in Copenhagen. Lab manager, data analyst, postdoc, PhD student... Stay tuned!
4️⃣ Use a helicopter to lift the box off the forest and move it to a trailer for further ground transportation.
Looking forward to the results of these 3 years of field data collection, including a caterpillar outbreak 🐛 this year.
