In our recently published paper, we provide an ultra-high-resolution estimation of CO₂ absorption and emission by urban vegetation in Munich and Zurich. To validate our modeling, our team also conducted a comprehensive year-long field measurement campaign. Accurately quantifying these biogenic CO₂… [weiterlesen]

We contributed to ARD Tagesschau's article about methane monitoring by International Methane Emissions Observatory - IMEO of the UN Environment Programme: https://www.tagesschau.de/wissen/methan-gaslecks-100.html IMEO has issued 3,500 methane warnings for major gas leaks, which enables targeted… [weiterlesen]

Professor Jia Chen has been awarded with the prestigious Timothy Oke Award 2024 for her excellent research in urban climate, particularly her unique contributions to monitor greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. [weiterlesen]

Our methane detective work has been featured by MIT Technology Review [weiterlesen]

The Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of the largest and most influential daily newspapers in Germany, has reported on the research our group has conducted within the ICOS Cities project. [weiterlesen]

In our recent paper, we assessed CO2 emissions from coal-based power plants in India using eight years of satellite measurements. This is the first study that uses long-term OCO-2 satellite measurements to report CO2 anomalies and emissions caused by different anthropogenic CO2 sources over India.… [weiterlesen]

We are measuring Munich air quality in a joint effort of TUM, Harvard and KIT. Focus is on Aerosols and Formaldehyde in the context of NOx and ozone. [weiterlesen]

Methane emissions from the third largest harbor city in Europe: we quantified emissions in Hamburg and found unknown sources. This study is supported by UN Environment Programme and Environmental Defense Fund. [weiterlesen]

We showed the satellite’s capability to detect urban spatial concentration gradients, which demonstrates the great potential of urban emission assessment from space. [weiterlesen]

Our research on methane emission in Munich and Hamburg was featured by the TV senders Das Erste and Bayerischer Rundfunk: Planet Wissen (ARD-Alpha): https://www.planet-wissen.de/video-methan-in-staedten-100.html https://www.planet-wissen.de/video-methan--das-unterschaetzte-klimagas--100.html… [weiterlesen]
