A good start for the four postdocs, three PhDs and students on the project—rounded off with the launch of our CLIMET beer! If you work on Arctic lakes or methane cycling, happy to connect.

After a busy summer of fieldwork in West Greenland, we discussed the first emerging data, the microbial processes driving methane cycling, and plans for surveys, monitoring, experiments and palaeolimnology.

“Tackling the unknowns of Arctic methane.” On Friday the NWO-funded CLIMET consortium met at @niooknaw.bsky.social for its kick-off meeting, bringing together colleagues from NL, the UK, Sweden, Canada and the USA, along with NWO representatives and our external advisor.

Cultivation of methane-oxidising bacteria and associated heterotrophs from Greenlandic lakes We are looking for a motivated BSc/MSc student who is interested in working with environmental isolates from Greenland at the department of Microbial Ecology at NIOO-KNAW.

Wonder what it takes to sample 50 lakes in Greenland?

Back in the office after weeks of fieldwork, our minds are still with the calm waters of this beautiful lake near Kangerlussuaq.

We shared stories from our recent sampling campaign on our blog — take a look!
