Where shoud cities place CO₂ sensors to measure urban emissions and how many sensors are needed? As part of Germany’s Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System (ITMS), Christopher Lüken-Winkels et al. analysed optimal sensor networks for urban areas. Link: doi.org/10.1525/elem...

EGU26 was insightful, fun, and full of great conversations with new and old connections. I am really proud of our group members for sharing their work (some for the first time) and contributing to this inspiring atmosphere. #EGU26

🎓 Congratulations Dr. Lukas Pilz! Lukas has successfully completed his PhD, developing high-resolution WRF simulations for urban areas to improve CO₂ emission estimates as part of the Integrated Greenhouse gas Monitoring project (ITMS). Well done, Lukas, and all the best for what’s next!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of presenting our group’s work at the IMKASF institute colloquium at @kit.edu I really enjoyed reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new people, and the great questions and discussions. Thanks for the invitation!

Our Institute of Environmental Phyiscs hosted the ITMS (Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System) General Assembly 2025. Day 1 was a great start! Inspiring keynotes and new insights into modelling results. Huge thanks to all presenters & attendees for good discussions! @uniheidelberg.bsky.social

✨ New paper! ✨ We ran WRF at 1 km over an urban area to test how physics schemes shape performance 🏙️ Urban & PBL schemes matter most 🌁 Station characteristics often dominate metrics Why it matters: Better models = better GHG monitoring doi.org/10.1016/j.at... 👏 Kudos to Lukas Pilz

Visited Wageningen University for Kims PhD defense. The campus was beautiful, the discussions with bright students were inspiring, and Kim gave a fantastic defense of an impressive thesis. Thanks so much for the invitation and warm welcome! 😊

Today I gave a remote talk at IWGGMS-21 on studying semi-arid regions with GOSAT 🌍 Really enjoyed many great talks—though couldn’t catch them all due to the time shift. Grateful to be part of this community! #IWGGMS #GOSAT #RemoteSensing #NIES

It was a pleasure to host a workshop on atmospheric modelling within the ITMS project (“Integrated Greenhouse gas monitoring system for Germany”) project. I enjoyed fruitful discussions on how to best track Germany's greenhouse gas emissions. #ITMS #Heidelberg @uniheidelberg.bsky.social
