Our paper on particle associated nitrogen fixation in the global ocean now came out. So nice to see it out. Congrats Subhendu, Ken and Ago www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I'm attending 1st International Symposium on Volatile Interactions in Ecosystems in Copenhagen @voltcenter.bsky.social. Join me on May 21-23. 🤩 ‼️ abstract submission deadline: February 24 #Biogeochemistry, #ChemicalEcology #Ecosystem-atmosphereInteractions

Congratulations to all Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions grantees! At @voltcenter.bsky.social, we got 4: Yunyao Ma, @zzwy.bsky.social, Mehrshad Foroughan and Cecilia Costas Selas. What an amazing achievement! Click below to read about the MSCA and other recent grants for VOLT volt.ku.dk/news2024/tre...

‼️Abstract deadline in 1 week‼️ eventsignup.ku.dk/voltsymposiu...

Mossy day in the lab. Does Sphagnum emit nitrous acid (HONO)? Clara Kiirdal Niemann is ready to find out in her BSc thesis project. @kathrinrousk.bsky.social @sumansom.bsky.social @voltcenter.bsky.social

#PlantScience Isoprene, the most abundant biogenic #VOC released by vegetation can act as volatile cue in plant to plant communication under natural conditions. Here our newest example with birch trees as senders…

@martacontreras.bsky.social , maybe you should stay up and take #VOC samples 24/7? ;)

Another great article re: what the Arctic will look like and the challenges it will be facing (and will have faced) in a +2.7C warmer world, in today's Science. (Note to teachers: Some really great--for instruction--diagrams in this paper!) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

2024 has been a very productive year for @voltcenter.bsky.social. As we enter the new year (already with some publications out!), we also share some highlights from last year. You can see some selected ones here 👇: volt.ku.dk/news2024/202... What about you? What was your personal or group highlight?

🚨 all EGU journals have cancelled their Twitter/X feeds 👏👏 But for reasons beyond me have decided not to engage with BlueSky 🤷 - if you’d like a BlueSky presence for your favourite EGU journal - I’d suggest getting in touch with @eurogeosciences.bsky.social (or liking this message?) pls RT 😀👏

🔔 New article alert 🔔 Have you ever wonderered what life in extreme environments smells like? In our latest article (and my first published paper!) we review #VOCs produced by #extremophiles, and we discuss the roles they play in #astrobiology, #biotechnology, and more! doi.org/10.1093/fems...

Are you curious about life on other planets? Watch the video below to learn about my #research and hear my thoughts on #astrobiology 👽⬇️

Welcome to Copenhagen to the 1st International Symposium on Volatile Interactions in Ecosystems! #biogeochemistry, #chemicalecology #ecosystem-atmosphereinteractions #VOCs #volatilome Deadline for abstracts is Feb 24. eventsignup.ku.dk/voltsymposiu... May 21-23 is a lovely time to visit Copenhagen

Are you a young scholar working on cities and climate change? Maybe you want to be an @ipcc.bsky.social chapter scientist for the Special Report on cities. Check it out: www.ipcc.ch/2025/01/27/c...

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!

A great start to the week at @voltcenter.bsky.social: @jrieksta.bsky.social joined us online from Norway to tell us about her exciting data during an insect outbreak in Abisko and the consequences for #VOC #emissions

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

Turbid… perfection! 🤩 After years apart, my #isoprene-degrading old friends are thriving again! These tiny tropical bacteria will guide my #MSCA fellowship all the way to the sub-Arctic. #uArctic_project #Microbiology #ResearchLife

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...

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

@voltcenter.bsky.social writing retreat has started in the amazing Dragholm Castle

Hope you've had a relaxing weekend and head towards the new week refreshed! My week will include some collaboration meetings, #EGU25 abstract writing & submission, and then a highlight: @voltcenter.bsky.social writing retreat. 📝

Future is catching up with us faster than we thought. Some ys ago we, @andreaghirardo.bsky.social & @riikkarinnan.bsky.social simulated the impact of a 1.5 degrees C increase on subarctic tundra #VOCs emission & C allocation. I never expected that this scenario is reached to rapidly. #ClimateChange

🤩 The beauty of a #PTR #autosampler at @voltcenter.bsky.social 🦠 #uArctic_project

🌟Call for Papers: JGR Biogeosciences Special Collection🌟 "Biogeosciences Leaders of Tomorrow" 📅 Deadline: Feb 7, 2025 Nominate early-career & underrepresented biogeoscientists for this special issue spotlighting emerging leaders in the field. 🔗: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/...

Just over a week until EGU abstract deadline (Jan 15)! Come join us to learn about atmospheric organics! Featuring invited speakers @riikkarinnan.bsky.social and Matthew Coggon.

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

Santa brought my family one more #boardgame related to #ecology: Undergrove. It is a pretty difficult game in which you exchange nutrients and carbon between roots and their fungal symbionts, while expanding. Captures well the complexity of the plant-microbe interactions. Check out my game 🧵 below!

Meet @voltcenter.bsky.social's astrobiologist @astromasg.bsky.social, who just defended his PhD in December! He studies #bacteria that can live and thrive in #extreme #environments. How can this be used for finding life in outer #space? Watch the video to find out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zcZ...

@voltcenter.bsky.social is #hiring! What better way to start 2025 than with a new job with a creative, fun and smart bunch? We seek a #student #assistant to help with #admin and #comms, w/ experience in #VideoEditing and #illustration. Check, apply, share this link: employment.ku.dk/all-vacancie...

Fantastic facilities for experiments with plants! #phenotyping #metabolomics #gasexchange #volatilomics

Happy holiday season! Take care of yourself and others. Emails can wait, your family and friends not.

Once xmas is out of the way time to prepare that abstracat for #EGU25. Submit by 15th Jan 2025. @egubg.bsky.social has loads of great sessions to choose from check them out 👇https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessionprogramme/5511 @eurogeosciences.bsky.social

Working with collaborators in the Global South it upsets me how many pay expensive software license fees, or use insecure pirated versions, when free open-source alternatives are available. Below is a list of easy swaps. Please add to it and share! 👇

It's a wrap. Last lectures held in 2024! May the students understand the complexity of biogeochemical cycles.

New collection: "Diffusion barriers in plants" nature.com/collections/... Biogenesis of diffusion barriers like Casparian strip, suberin lamellae or root exodermis. Primarily focused on root diffusion barriers, but homologous structures were recently discovered in trichomes.

Mosses are cool! Read this short but nice praise for bryophytes! And follow @kathrinrousk.bsky.social for more mossy content!

@nasmillelarkemejia.bsky.social is an expert in isoprene-degrading microbes that live on leaves of isoprene-producing plants. Check out this video in which she tells about her current project at @voltcenter.bsky.social!

A fan of #Bryophytes? You are (almost) not alone! #Bryophytes rule...they can grow almost anywhere, host a fascinating world of #microbes (incl. #nitrogen-fixing #Cyanobacteria), are key in #biogeochemistry, and hold huge potential for #biotechnology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
