The draft programme and the full list of accepted abstracts for the ICOS Science Conference 2024 have now been published online.  

ICOS, Integrated Carbon Observation System, is pleased to announce that after passing a rigorous quality assurance process, four new measurement stations have received the status of an ICOS labelled station. The station labelling was confirmed by the ICOS General Assembly on 14th May 2024. The newly labelled stations are located in Hungary, Germany and Italy. Warm congratulations to the personnel working at these stations, as well as the institutes responsible for them!

2024 sees some changes in the personnel of the three ICOS Monitoring Station Assemblies (MSAs). 

In the Atmosphere MSA, Dagmar Kubistin goes from being co-chair to chair, replacing Paolo Cristofanelli in the role. Arnoud Frumau is the new co-chair.

The everyday efforts of the scientists at ICOS stations make a big impact on data quality. Two ICOS stations were awarded in May 2024 as the “ICOS Ecosystem Stations of the year.” The purpose of the award was to recognise the efforts made by the individuals in the community and highlight the importance of good cooperation.  

According to a new study involving researchers from around Europe, including Italy’s CMCC and the National Research Council (CNR), urban areas across Europe are home to high levels of social inequality when it comes to granting acces

Faced with all too frequent crises induced by climate change like droughts, wildfires and floods, the need for high-quality science that serves society is more acute than ever. Over the past 15 years, ICOS has developed from an implementation phase to today’s operational phase facilitating frontier research on greenhouse gas (GHG) observations. ICOS provides advanced services and scientific evidence for knowledge-based policy decisions in Europe. Beyond Europe, ICOS is a globally recognised environmental Research Infrastructure within the ESFRI framework.
