VOLT Center

What better way to end the week, than with a great talk on #VOCs in cave ecosystems by @kajsaroslund.bsky.social at the Ecology and Evolution seminar series? Such a cool environment and exciting results! Paper coming soon, so stay tuned to read more about it!

At today's @voltcenter.bsky.social -all meeting we heard from new PhD student's Sophia Paatsch about her exciting plans for the next 3 years. Her project will be on #microbial #VOC exchange in #arctic #glacier #ecosystems

Last chance to apply for this fantastic position as a student assistant in communications and administration at @voltcenter.bsky.social! Interested in social media? Editing videos and making illustrations and diagrams to make science more visual? Then, join us! employment.ku.dk/all-vacancie...

Great start to the week at @voltcenter.bsky.social with breakfast and science. Today's journal club discussion on symbiosis in bryophytes was led by Thomas Ammitsøe. You can read the paper below: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.71559

Nature Speaks, a book that combines art and science, is finally out! @voltcenter.bsky.social director Riikka Rinnan contributed with a chapter on volatiles and tree comnunication. The launch was this Tuesday at the Sorø museum.

During lunch time, Jonathan presented some updates on modelling microbial VOC metabolism with DEMENT.

New book on how nature communicates - @voltcenter.bsky.social's @riikkarinnan.bsky.social wrote a chapter about the secret messages from trees in the air (via, of course, VOCs!). You are invited to the launch on 29/9! You can read more about the book/launch below: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Just as my experimental plants 🌲 had a smooth start at @voltcenter.bsky.social this July, so did I ☺️. Now, it's time for both me and the plants to grow roots in our new environment and prepare for the upcoming experiments🥼.

Join @voltcenter.bsky.social as a #postdoc, there is still time to apply! The focus is process understanding related to #VOC exchange in terrestrial ecosystems. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

‼️Job alert‼️ @voltcenter.bsky.social is looking for a #postdoc to conduct cutting-edge, hypothesis-driven research within the scientific area of VOLT, focusing on process understanding related to VOC exchange in terrestrial ecosystems. You can propose a research plan employment.ku.dk/all-vacancie...

In our last VOLT-All meeting before the summer break, new Postdoc Yumeng gave an introductory talk about her interdisciplinary background, and her current research on moss-cyanobacteria symbiosis and terrestrial nitroplast evolution. Our talks and cakes will resume at the end of the summer! ☀️🍰

This week started with the usual breakfast journal club, where @nasmillelarkemejia.bsky.social presented and led a discussion on soil isoprene fluxes in the Amazon rain forest. You can read the paper here 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

A proud supervisor moment with @riikkarinnan.bsky.social: congratulations to Sophia Paatsch on an excellent MSc defense and well-deserved 12. Her thesis “Isoprene emissions and microbial consumption in Sphagnum under drought,” made valuable contributions to #uArctic_project. @voltcenter.bsky.social

At today's volt-all there was cake, and Neel's PhD status presentation on soil VOCs.

How does forest dieback affect the atmosphere around it? A new study led by VOLT PhD Student @martacontreras.bsky.social has just been published, exploring the impact of snow gum dieback on VOC emissions: doi.org/10.1029/2025... We also made a short video to help illustrate this study.🌳☁️

So nice to see @voltcenter.bsky.social going places and reaching so many people! :) shorturl.at/c4M5U

Congratulations, @lasseriemann.bsky.social ! Looking forward to great reads! 👏

Today we got a fantastic update from PhD student Eve Galen on the results from last year's ocean campaign through the Atlantic-Arctic and 2 different phytoplankton blooms.

Anyone going to #BIOGEOMON2026 next week in Umeå? Really excited to share our #moss work along a coastal dune gradient!🌱🏖️

In today's VOLT-all meeting we learnt about a cool model moss system to study interactions between mosses and cyanobacteria. Thomas Ammitsøe reported exciting findings related to nitrogen cycling in the system. We look forward to hearing what volatile signals are exchanged between the organisms.

@martacontreras.bsky.social gave a great update on vertical profile of VOC emissions from trees in tropical and savannah ecosystems in Yunnan, China.

Are you in Copenhagen tomorrow? Then come for some beers and science talk about climate change and environmental consciousness. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Join us in #Copenhagen 19th May KBH Huset to have a pint of…the wonderful world of #Moss, #VOCs and more! @voltcenter.bsky.social

Meet Albert Egea Guevara, a visiting PhD student who has been working with a unique long-term dataset from a birch forest in Abisko, where he combines VOC measurements, carbon fluxes, machine learning, and ecosystem modelling. www.linkedin.com/posts/meet-t...
