Description
Summary:The forthcoming project "WinterCZ" has been presented at the IASC workshop "ACZON" (Arctic Critical Zone Observatories) that took place in Pisa, Italy on January 11-12, 2023. It describes the major actions and challenges to be taken in the project, that will take place in 2023-2025 at the Ny Ålesund research base in Svalbard. The project is aimed to integrate the existing field instrumentation of the projects CZO@Bayelva and TMPT@CNR_NYA in Ny Ålesund (NO) to fill the knowledge gap on the properties and drivers of winter CO2 fluxes in the High Arctic. IGG-CNR shall install new fixed devices for winter monitoring of soil, snow, CO2 fluxes and microbiological activity in the Bayelva basin, developing data services and data-driven and process-based models. The consortium includes five partners: Institute of Geoscience and Earth Resources of CNR (CNR- IGG); Department of Biology of the University of Naples “Federico II” (UNINA-DB); Alfred- Wegener-Institut (AWI); Queen Mary University of London (QMUL); and University of Cologne (UoC).
