New @voltcenter.bsky.social publication on volatile organic compound emissions from Scots pine litter 🌲 in @pubs.acs.org Environ. Sci. Technol. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

High Monoterpenoid Emissions from Scots Pine Litter Controlled by Moisture

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play important roles in atmospheric chemistry, yet most studies have focused on canopy emissions. Decomposition of forest litter, a major below-canopy VOC so...

The peatland columns collected from #StoreMosseNationalPark are now hibernating through the dark winter in climate chambers 🌱❄️ Waiting for a new “spring” for us to explore their #VOCs and carbon cycle processes.

An exciting opportunity to showcase the story behind our research, from fieldwork in Greenland to labwork in Copenhagen! Springer Nature invited us to write a Behind the Paper post on our study of #VOCs in Greenland’s active layer soils. You can read the blog post here: go.nature.com/4rOP6Oz

📣 Vacancy: Two year postdoc in #VOC biogeochemistry, as part of my young investigator grant funded by @villumfonden.bsky.social. Successful candidate will join @voltcenter.bsky.social in Copenhagen led by @riikkarinnan.bsky.social. Learn more about the position and apply here ⬇️

It's nice to get a grant. Even nicer when a group member gets a grant! And how great is it when it is a starting grant!!! @yijiao.bsky.social came to DK as postdoc, then received his own #MSCA. Now he starts his own group @voltcenter.bsky.social funded by @villumfonden.bsky.social. Huge congrats!

Honored & grateful to @villumfonden.bsky.social for the grant, which will allow me to form a group exploring #peatland trace gas biogeochemistry. Many thanks to Profs. Rinnan, Kolb, Tang & Robroek for the support. Looking forward to the collaborations! villumfonden.dk/en/news/mill...

Massive congratulations to @voltcenter.bsky.social's @yijiao.bsky.social on his #Villum Young Investigator programme grant!

Scientists having a nap in fieldwork? Nope. They are working with a soil pit when we collected soil for our new paper showing that Greenlandic active layer soils efficiently consume volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The paper was expertly led by @yijiao.bsky.social. rdcu.be/d68qm

Day 2 of @voltcenter.bsky.social's #writing #retreat at the beautiful Dragsholm castle starts with trying out the #pomodoro technique.

Check out our new #OpenAccess publication on the role of active layer soils in permafrost areas as sinks for #volatile organic compounds in #Greenland. doi.org/10.1038/s432...

Prior to the #VOLTsymposium2025, we organize a PhD course on VOCs and isotope techniques. In addition to stable isotope techniques to study VOC production, consumption and emissions, you will learn data processing & generally about VOCs in ecosystem processes. phdcourses.ku.dk/DetailKursus... 3/3

We will be hosting the 1st International Symposium on Volatile Interactions in Ecosystems in Copenhagen in May 2025. This symposium will bring together scientists working with #Biogeochemistry, #ChemicalEcology and #Ecosystem-atmosphereInteractions related to VOCs, volatile S and N. Welcome! 1/3
