iClimate have granted a total of 218.738 d.kr to excellent climate research carried out by iClimate members

This year iClimate have granted a total amount of 218.738 d.kr distributed to five highly climate relevant research projects carried out by iClimate members. You can read more below.

Grant recipient: Anne Winding

Amount: 42600kr

Title: N2O producing ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in soil treated with nitrification inhibitors

Resume: In the iClimate-associated project KLIMINI non-target effects of nitrification inhibitors on soil organisms are assessed in field experiments with three marketed nitrification inhibitors and a mix of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Soil samples from KLIMINI will be available for this project studying effects of nitrification inhibitors on the target organisms of ammonia-oxidizing soil microorganisms. Using DNA and RNA techniques of QPCR and specific nucleotide sequencing we will assess abundance, activity and diversity of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms. This will be compared to N2O emissions from the field and the non-target effects on soil organisms and strongly complement the KLIMINI project outcome.

Title: Projections of Arctic Climate and Atmospheric Composition under a Variety of Emission and

Socioeconomic Scenarios

Resume: The project will support the analyses of a large number of historical and future simulations of global climate and atmospheric composition change conducted at ENVS, in order to gain a better understanding of the Arctic climate system, atmospheric composition, and the impacts of changes in the Arctic on the climate in the rest of the globe.

 

 

Grant recipients: Lars Juhl Munkholm og Goswin Heckrath

Amount: 20.000kr

Title: Runoff and soil erodibility tests

Resume: The importance of low soil erodibility is strongly increasing with climate change.  The study will test the effect of gypsum and structural lime on runoff and soil erodibility using test facilities at  the Planetary Surface Processes Laboratory, University Basel. The work is carried out in relation to a MSc thesis project.

Title: Support to make ½ year measurements of physical properties of aerosols in Arctic

Resume: Within the project “½ year measurements of physical properties of aerosols in Arctic” iClimate (OH) funds, we have got support to continue measurements of particle number size distributions and optical properties of atmospheric particles at the high Arctic site Villum Research Station in 2020. This continuation for a transition period of ½ a year is very important to guarantee no data gaps in one of the most climate-relevant parameters with respect to Arctic amplification. Existing dataseries have started in 2010 and 2016, respectively, and build a base for data comparison to other climate observatories in the high Arctic and for the work of two Ph.D. studies embedded within the iClimate centre.

Title: iClimate workshop om brugen af remote sensing til at måle antropogen udledning af drivhusgasser

Resume: Measuring greenhouse gas emission from space

Recent advances within space science have made it possible to measure greenhouse gas emission from space. Though the field is still under development, it is likely to be very important for our aim of net-zero greenhouse gas emission by 2050. We will therefore organize a workshop for people working with greenhouse gas emission or space science in Denmark, where we will invite international keynote speakers.
