The 3rd ICOS Science Conference (Integrated Carbon Observation System)

Original language description

The Integrated Carbon Observation System, ICOS is a distributed European-wide research infrastructure producing high-precision data on greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, as well as on carbon fluxes between the atmosphere, earth and oceans. This is important because globally the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rises constantly, causing the climate change. The greenhouse gases flux between the ecosystems, atmosphere and oceans, and are transported in the atmosphere even thousands of kilometres, for example, from densely populated areas to the arctic. ICOS provides standardised and open data from over 130 measurement stations across 12 European countries. ICOS data is used by scientists who seek to understand this Earth System and by various governmental bodies and international organisations that need science-based and relevant information on greenhouse gases in their decision making, and in efforts to mitigate the consequences of climate change. ICOS consists of more than 500 scientists, who participate in ICOS related work and operations. These scientists, both in the current member countries and beyond, form the ICOS community. They design, build and operate ICOS stations, but even more importantly, process and use the ICOS data while fitting complex models on it. They publish scientific papers, participate in workshops and conferences, and develop new measurement methods. The community, as ICOS itself, has three fields; ecosystem, atmosphere, and ocean. Each of these also has strong connections to colleagues and operators outside ICOS. At the moment ICOS community includes over 70 scientific organisations, renown universities or institutes - many of which are leaders in their fields.The biannual ICOS Science Conference gathers more than 300 scientists to discuss the scientific topics around greenhouse gas measurement and climate change. The themes of the conference vary from purely scientific sessions to ones related to the Paris Agreement and other policy making.
