PRESSEMITTEILUNG - INTEGRATED CARBON OBSERVATION SYSTEM (ICOS)

Das Netzwerk zur Beobachtung von Treibhausgasen ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System) hat eine Reihe von Studien ermöglicht, um aufzuzeigen, wie Natur und Ernte in Europa auf die extrem trockenen Witterungsbedingungen in den letzten drei Sommern 2018 bis 2020 reagieren.

ICOS, Integrated Carbon Observation System, erweitert sich um acht neue Treibhausgas-Messstationen, die sich zur standardisierten Datenproduktion qualifiziert haben und nun ein ICOS-Label tragen dürfen. Die neu zertifizierten Stationen befinden sich in fünf der zwölf ICOS Mitgliedsstaaten. Dazu gehören jeweils eine Station in Finnland und Italien,...

Wird CO2 in die Atmosphäre freigesetzt, wird es vom Wind durchmischt und verteilt sich, im Laufe der Zeit, über den ganzen Globus. Für die nördliche oder südliche Hemisphäre dauert dieser Vermischungsprozess ein bis zwei Monate. Für den Globus dauert er sogar ein ganzes Jahr, da sich die nördliche und südliche Hemisphäre nur langsam vermischen. Die...

Only a steady expansion of the observation network can guarantee the representativeness of our measurements. This year a total of six new sites were therefore added to the ICOS-D network: Three Class 2 sites for the atmospheric observation network (Schauinsland, Westerland, Zugspitze), and three associated ecosystem sites (Kienhorst, Hartheim,...

Of course, ICOS is also represented at the UN Climate Change Conference 2019 (COP25) in Madrid. In addition to lectures and poster contributions, a separate ICOS side event took place on December 4 under the motto "Standardized observations are the base of all climate science". ICOS Director General Dr. Werner Kutsch, as well as representatives of...

What projects does the Federal Ministry of Education and Research fund in the field of climate change? Among others the German contribution to the ICOS infrastructure! More about this in the video on the website of the BMBF:

The air temperature above land surfaces has risen nearly twice as much since the industrial revolution than the global mean (including land and ocean). Changes in the surface conditions through land-use or climate change can affect the climate on both the regional and global scale. Under all emission scenarios, an increase in the impacts on, among...

The European research infrastructure ICOS creates standardized long-term observations of the greenhouse gas exchange between the atmosphere and terrestrial and marine ecosystems - scientists discuss results from 11th to 14th September 2019 in Prague.

The ICOScapes photo exhibition sensitizes of climate change through photos from ICOS greenhouse gas measuring stations. The photos were taken by the internationally renowned nature and wildlife photographer Konsta Punkka during his station visits in 2017 and 2018. The exhibition shows unique environments and the work of scientists at 12 ICOS...

The ICOS Germany Annual Meeting 2016 was held at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel from 18th to 20th May 2016. Participants from Germany’s atmospheric, ecosystem and ocean monitoring stations and from the two Central Laboratories of ICOS, as well as representatives of the stakeholders met to discuss the current status of...

The European Commission has officially launched ICOS ERIC, the Integrated Carbon Observation System European Research Infrastructure Consortium. The inauguration ceremony has been held in Brussels on Tuesday 24th November 2015 when Director General for Research and Innovation at the European Commission Robert-Jan Smits has handed out the official...

According to a new scientific study published in “Forest Ecology and Management”, the unmanaged, old-growth beech forest at Hainich National Park (ICOS Ecosystem Station) has a similar annual net carbon uptake as a nearby even-aged beech forest which is managed in such a way as to maximise wood production.

An International Marine and Atmospheric Science Symposium, jointly organized by the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and the Instituto Nacional de Desenvolvimento das Pescas was held in Mindelo, Cabo Verde on May 20-22, 2015 to commemorate 10 years of cooperation between the two institutions.
