Project within the EU 7th framework programme PAGE21, titled: Permafrost carbon in a changing Arctic: On periglacial landscape dynamics, organic matter characteristics, and the stability of a globally significant carbon pool.
Upscaling (quantity), geochemical (quality), and geomorphological (availability) analyses of permafrost soil carbon, based on fieldwork carried out in NE Russia, Svalbard, NE Greenland, and N Sweden.
Thesis and four first author papers:
• Elevation-based upscaling of high arctic permafrost carbon stocks (Weiss et al. in press)
• Potential decomposability in relation to geomorphology in the Siberian Yedoma region (Weiss et al. 2016)
• Detailed molecular characterisation of labile organic matter (Weiss & Kaal, in press)
• Identification of labile organic matter in upper permafrost samples from contrasting circum-arctic environments (Weiss et al. in prep)
Additional activities (selection):
• Part of ICOP2016 Young Researchers Workop organising committee
• President of the departmental PhD council (2013)
