Visualization of methane fluxes along coastal boundaries of Arctic permafrost and glaciers Life Sciences
In this project we hypothesize that CH4 fluxes during coastal erosion of glaciers and permafrost represent an important CH4 source in the Arctic.
Addressing logistic challenges and the need for continuous CH4 flux assessment in the most remote and biogeochemically active parts of the cryosphere, we aim to test our hypotheses using a state-of-the-art monitoring system combining real-time visualisation of CH4 emissions by a hyperspectral camera and ecosystem-scale estimations by eddy covariance system coupled to a tuneable-laser-based CH4 sensor. These analyses will be complemented with concentration and δ13C-CH4 measurements allowing process understanding of the CH4 cycle. Selected gas samples will be dated using Δ14C-CH4 analysis (Tandem AMS - accelerator mass spectrometry) to evaluate whether recent or old organic matter is sourcing observable emissions. Our comprehensive approach will also include continuous estimates and modelling of glacial and permafrost discharge as well as hydroacoustic surveys over a large area of the Arctic coast to quantify bubble fluxes.
Maciej Bartosiewicz graduated from Warsaw University in 2009 after successful defense of the thesis on plankton ecology. He then moved to Quebec (Canada) for a PhD project focusing on greenhouse gas fluxes in lakes. In 2015 he earned his doctorate degree in Biogeochemistry from the National Institute of Scientific Research and continued the postdoctoral research on the project "Methane Paradox" at the University of Basel. Since 2020, he had worked as a co-PI on projects supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Currently, he has joined a large Swiss-Polish project as a Principal Investigator.
