MOMENTMethane in permafrost

The project MOMENT (Permafrost Research Towards Integrated Observation and Modelling of the Methane Budget of Ecosystems) will close important gaps in the process understanding of the methane cycle in northern latitudes using innovative laboratory studies and multi-scale methane flux observations on Disko Island, Greenland based on state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Impressions of the joint expeditions of MOMENT and CLICCS A1 on Disko Island, West Greenland can be found in our picture gallery, which is updated regularly. Feel free to take a look!

The MOMENT Annual Meeting 2024 took place in Cologne from Tuesday, February 20^th 2024 to Wednesday, February 21^st. After the project is now running for 1 year and 3.5 month, we brought together the numerous first observations and got an idea of how to put them together for a combined understanding of the ecosystem. Plans for further fieldwork, modelling and publications were made. Next to the whole MOMENT team, CLICCS A1 members,  Dr. Eleanor Burke and Prof. em. Patrick Crill from the science advisory board and Dr. Susanne Fretzdorff from PTJ attended.
