I am in Abisko myself and can´t but would definitely have participated otherwise. She desperately needs some people (climate researchers of any kind) who can draw a water line at 3 metres, in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, as part of an art/science installation with focus on climate change August 15th. Called High Waterline. http://www.mossutstallningar.com/konst/konstnarliga-avsmyckningar-av-norra-djurgardsstaden-akt-iii-vatten#eng https://www.visitstockholm.com/events/guided-tours/high-water-line/ Please contact me ASAP if you would like to participate! 1 hour of painting each between 11 and 17.

Until further notice, RA5 members of Bolin Centre for Climate Research can now apply at any time for funding from RA5. A new application will not affect a previous grant you may have on hold. Please write an email to frederik.schenk at geo.su.se and malin.kylander at geo.su.se with a brief description of when you want to do what and where, and who would be involved. We can then discuss if and how we can provide funding (fieldwork, travel, lab costs, etc).

News from the web Large stocks of peatland carbon and nitrogen are vulnerable to permafrost thaw A study by Gustaf Hugelius et al finds that warming will likely shift the greenhouse gas balance of northern peatlands. At present, peatlands cool the climate, but anthropogenic warming can shift them into a net source of warming.

Plant roots in soil stimulate microbial decomposition, a mechanism called the priming effect. An international research team from Stockholm University, Umeå University and the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) shows that the priming effect alone can cause emission of 40 gigatons of carbon from thawing permafrost by 2100.

Discovery of an unrecognized pathway carrying overflow waters toward the Faroe Bank Channel An international team discovered a previously unrecognized ocean current that transports water to one of the world’s largest “waterfalls” in the North Atlantic Ocean: the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow into the deep North Atlantic. While investigating the pathways that water takes to feed this major waterfall, the research team identified a surprising path of the cold and dense water flowing at depth, which led to the discovery of this new ocean current.

The International Siberian Shelf Study Expedition: 26 Sept – 4 Nov 2020 The International Siberian Shelf Study (ISSS) Program is a Russian-Swedish led international collaboration that spans back about 15 years. The overarching aim is to investigate cryosphere-climate-carbon couplings on the extensive East Siberian Arctic Ocean Shelf. The central focus of the ISSS-2020 expedition is one of the biggest open challenges in climate change science; understanding subsea and coastal permafrost thawing, hydrate collapse and the processes that result in releases of potent greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. The expedition will be on board the largest Russian research vessel, the R/V Akademik Keldysh. Team expedition leaders are Örjan Gustafsson and Birgit Wild, Department of Environmental Sciences.
