ICOS Sweden Annual Workshop 2015 focuses on fresh water and marine water as sinks and sources for atmospheric greenhouse gases. The workshop takes place at 17-18 August 2015 in Visby, Sweden, and includes a field visit to the measurement station on Östergansholm island and surroundings.

See pdf-flyer for details. To give an oral presentation and/or a poster presentation, send an abstract (max half-page) by 1 June to scientific.coordinator@icos-sweden.se.

ICOS RI ‐ Integrated Carbon Observation System Research Infrastructure‐ is a European research infrastructure to quantify and understand the greenhouse gas balance of the European continent and of adjacent regions. ICOS is a collaboration of 17 European countries and provides long‐term observations (20+ years).

ICOS Sweden is the Swedish contribution to this European effort and is a cooperation of Lund University (host), University of Gothenburg, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Stockholm University, Uppsala University, and Swedish Polar Research Secretariat. The measurement sites are located at seven different sites, from north to south: Abisko‐Stordalen (subarctic mire), Degerö (boreal mire), Svartberget (boreal pine and spruce forest), Norunda (boreal pine and spruce forest), Östergarnsholm (marine station), Lanna (agricultural land), and Hyltemossa (boreal spruce forest).

Organizers: Maj-Lena Linderson, ICOS Sweden Scientific Coordinator, and Anna Rutgersson, PI for the Östergarnsholm station
