Increased Growth Temperatures Alter Arctic Plant Responses to Heat Wave and Drought 📄 buff.ly/2NU4KiE @martacontreras.bsky.social @riikkarinnan.bsky.social @lundjing.bsky.social @voltcenter.bsky.social @villumfonden.bsky.social @dg.dk

📣“3, 2, 1… VOC”📣 The best way to finish our PhD course is a wonderful group picture! 📸 Thank you to all the lecturers, students, fellow organisers and colleagues for making this event unforgettable! ⚙️We are now changing gears for the @voltcenter.bsky.social symposium! ⚙️

We are hosting a PhD course on volatiles in ecosystems for 30 international PhD students. Today we heard flash talks by all participants, got an introduction to isotopes, a lab tour and a tour in the Botanical Garden of #SNM. We are thankful for Faculty of Science @ucph.bsky.social for funding.

Check out our newest #research! We quantify the interactions between increased #temperature & #heatwave & #drought in #Arctic #plants, with focus on #VOCs, #photosynthesis & #phenology. doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... @voltcenter.bsky.social @dg.dk @villumfonden.bsky.social @globalchangebio.bsky.social

So happy for this amazing opportunity! Using my time in Australia to integrate my #Arctic shrub data into #models to improve our understanding of #warming effects in the Arctic 🌱📊 Also did some new #fieldwork, so stay tuned! 🌳🪲Thanks to @voltcenter.bsky.social and everyone who made this possible!

PhD student @martacontreras.bsky.social from @voltcenter.bsky.social received the Elite Forsk travel grant. A huge congratulation to the rising star, Marta! @dg.dk

📢PhD Vacancy📢: Fully funded PhD fellowship in #peatland #VOC #biogeochemistry at Copenhagen University! This position is part of my Villum young investigator grant, co-supervised with @riikkarinnan.bsky.social, and hosted by the @voltcenter.bsky.social. ➡️https://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=163573⬅️

A super exciting PhD position available in #peatland #biochemistry. Join @yijiao.bsky.social and me working with cutting edge #VOC cycling in peat. + nice colleagues @voltcenter.bsky.social + Copenhagen + competitive salary + good PhD program employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=16... Please repost!

Less than a week left to register for the #free International #Symposium on #Volatile #Interactions in #Ecosystems, and a #PhD course in beautiful #Copenhagen!

After extensive packing for field work in Australia, @martacontreras.bsky.social is finally on her way to warmer weather. We are excited to follow her adventures!

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

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...

Productive days and fun nights at the @voltcenter.bsky.social writing retreat in the beautiful Dragsholm Castle! What an amazing experience!

✨Moss bottle bums 🍑 Described as edible by @martacontreras.bsky.social 😜

Yesterday, I defended my PhD in astrobiology at @voltcenter.bsky.social and the Center for Exolife Sciences. It was an amazing experience to share my work with so many of my friends and colleagues! Big thanks to @riikkarinnan.bsky.social and the rest of VOLT for the opportunity to work together!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Before, during, and after his brilliant #PhD #defense. Congratulations, @astromasg.bsky.social !!!
