fluxible: An R package to process ecosystem gas fluxes from closed‐loop chambers in an automated and reproducible way Measuring ecosystem gas fluxes is crucial to understanding the dynamics of ecosystem water and energy cycling. A common method to measure ecosystem gas fluxes (CO2, CH4, N2O) and to compare experi...

My first PhD paper is out!
It describes the fluxible #rstats package, a toolbox to process and quality check #ecosystem #gasfluxes in a reproducible and automated way.

Field season 2025: it’s (almost) a wrap! – Between the Fjords Whilst most of Norway calms down when the summer approaches; in our discipline of field ecology the months of June, July and August are the highlight of the action.Β This summer has seen yet again a great amount of project planning, data collection, identifying sedges without flowers, cooking leaves, and hiking across Bergen municipality.

#fieldwork is a key component of our research @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social - here’s a shoutout to all great colleagues & students who made it all happen this year! 🌐 πŸ§ͺπŸ”οΈπŸ« betweenthefjords.w.uib.no/field-season...

Western Norway is known as rainy, but droughts happen and will be more extreme and frequent due to climate change. @kristabirk.bsky.social shared her results at #EGU25 about a drought experiment in a coastal heathland, and the effects on leaf and flower phenology at different successional stages

Hey #rstats, could you point me to a ressource explaining why it matters for a package to be available on CRAN?
(Both from user and developer perspective)
Many thanks!

Amazing talk by @jogaudard.bsky.social at #EGU25 about his #Fluxible R package! A great tool for processing large amounts of ecosystem flux data in an #OpenScience way πŸŒΏπŸŒ€

Delighted to see my future lab group in Norway has joined Blue Sky!

Give Between the Fjords a follow to hear about all their exciting research in the #carbon, #ecophys, #PlantTrait, #biodiversity space (particularly if you're a fellow #grasslands enthusiast).

We are at #EGU2025!
Interested to learn more about global experimental #warming experiments, the #functioning of dwarf shrubs in our ecosystems, or how we develop tools to help us better analyze gas #flux data in #R?
Here’s an overview of our talks and poster presentations🧡:

In the β€œMind your head” session at #EGU25 and there is a sad pattern emerging from the survey 🀨 Taking time off protects you in the long (and short) term more than pushing yourself to the limit 🌞

Learning by doing is a great tool. You learn A LOT as a student and you also get to contribute towards real science οΏΌ

Between the Fjords is an ecology research group led by @vvandvik.bsky.social at the University of Bergen. We study environmental change in alpine and coastal landscapes, using field experiments, functional traits, carbon cycling, species composition, belowground ecology, & many more. Follow along!
