NOBV at European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2026 in Vienna
In early may 2026 the European Geosciences Union General Assembly took place in Vienna, with a strong presence from #NOBV. Across 7 presentations and 3 posters, spread over 5 sessions, including one convened by Duygu Tolunay and Joost Keuskamp, we reached a broad international audience with our research on greenhousegasses and subsidence in Dutch peatlands.
Our work sparked many engaging questions and discussions, often leading to valuable new insights on both sides.
It was inspiring to see the breadth of peat-related research presented: ranging from greenhouse gas emissions and soil mechanics to ecosystem dynamics and many other fields of research. Together, these efforts are advancing our understanding of peatland systems and helping identify effective ways to mitigate GHG emissions from (Dutch) peatlands.
Below is a list of the NOBV talks and posters at the EGU:
- Rima Porre: N2O emissions from fertilised peat soils under different water infiltration systems and groundwater levels
- Bart Kruijt: Assessing the mitigation of peat oxidation in Frisian managed pastures using mobile eddy covariance systems
- Pepijn van Elderen: Exploring oxygen intrusion as explanation for observed emission differences in Dutch peatlands
- Loeka Jongejans: Why drained peatlands differ across Europe: drivers, impacts and responses in a DPSIR-based literature review
- Olga Zygadlowska: Methane emission dynamics of a shallow dutch peat lake: Insights from long-term eddy covariance monitoring
- Laurent Bataille: Deciphering eddy-covariance CO₂ flux patterns in Dutch peatlands, from machine-learning to physics-based deep-learning
- Ype van der Velde: Anaerobic decomposition contributions to greenhouse gas emissions of agriculturally used peatlands
- Ronald Hutjes: A novel approach to infer regional emissions from airborne methane measurements
- Lore Rits: Pore structure controls on microbial decomposition of peat organic matter and GHG production
- Sanneke van Asselen:
Unravelling shallow subsurface deformation processes leading to land subsidence in organic-rich coastal plains - Ignacio Andueza Kovacevic: Carbon dioxide and methane emissions from a netwerk of thirty eddy-covariande in the Netherlands
