Arctic Greenhouse Gas Estimates Enhanced by Field Data, Remote Sensing

University of Helsinki

A new study investigates the sinks and sources of key greenhouse gases of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the Arctic landscape with a spatial resolution of only a few square meters. Vegetation and soil conditions explain the differences in greenhouse gas emissions.

The research was conducted from the Kilpisjärvi biological station, the northernmost research station of the University of Helsinki. (Image: Markus Jylha)
