We cordially invite you to take part in our program item "Climate change in the Arctic" and gain exciting insights into our research work.

You can look forward to videos and pictures of our work, an interactive quiz and a mini-experiment where you can measure greenhouse gases yourself.

The Arctic is one of the regions of the world most affected by climate change and at the same time plays a key role in global climate change. The thawing of the permafrost can lead to an increased release of greenhouse gases - a process that in turn drives global warming.

Find out how we investigate changes in Arctic permafrost landscapes in measurement campaigns, e.g. by measuring greenhouse gases such as methane or carbon dioxide.

We will show how we use our measurements and simulations with models to better understand the interactions between the sensitive Arctic ecosystems and the ongoing climate changes.

We look forward to seeing you and exchanging ideas with you!
