AVOCA - Arctic biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds from Above

AVOCA – Arctic biogenic volatile organic compounds from above 
 
The warming Arctic climate is currently accelerating releases of volatile organic compounds from several Arctic plants. This increase can affect further climate change. We know little about the total amount released from land ecosystems, and therefore the net effects. This project is dedicated to find out where and how much is released, by combining manual sampling, drones, and satellite data. The grant funds two postdocs and one PhD student as well as instruments and fieldwork.
