Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

- To understand the importance of measuring and monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange between atmosphere and biosphere
- to understand the different greenhouse gas measurement techniques
- To get practical experience of taking GHG measurements applying the closed chamber technique
- To get practical experience of taking GHG measurements applying the eddy covariance technique
The course will be taught through lectures, practical exercises and a field excursion to a nearby GHG measurement station (Lake Neusiedl). You will gain practical experience of working on GHG measurements and data and we hope that you will gain ideas for your final thesis.
