PhD student Si Chen study visit to University of Helsinki

The LiWeFoR team held its second field campaign and seminar in Sarawak, Malaysia, bringing together around 60 participants at TROPI for a week of knowledge exchange. The event featured 12 multidisciplinary presentations. A major milestone was the successful maintenance of an eddy covariance system, securing continuous CO2, CH4, and N2O flux measurements for the project’s final year.

The LiWeFoR team held its second field campaign and seminar in Sarawak, Malaysia (11–15 February 2025), bringing together around 60 participants at TROPI for a week of knowledge exchange and hands-on training. The event featured 12 multidisciplinary presentations on peatland biogeochemistry, greenhouse gas dynamics, and land-use change, with contributions from TROPI, the University of Tartu, University of Helsinki, and KIT. A technical workshop strengthened local capacity for ecosystem GHG monitoring, while joint fieldwork at the Betong oil palm site ensured cross-site data comparability. A major milestone was the successful maintenance of an eddy covariance system, securing continuous CO2, CH4, and N2O flux measurements for the project’s final year.
