Joost van Genuchten

Joost van Genuchten is a PhD student at the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) within the Centre for Ice, Cryosphere, Carbon and Climate (iC3). He investigates the dynamics of methane in proglacial terrains in Greenland and its connection to carbon and nutrient cycling. Joost’s work evolves around identifying key drivers of methane production, contributing to the reduction of uncertainties in global methane budgets, and improving the understanding of how these proglacial environments develop with continued deglaciation.

The Proglacial Puzzle: Sampling of Glacier-fed Lakes in Greenland

The Proglacial Puzzle: Sampling of Glacier-fed Lakes in Greenland

Would you like to follow the endeavours of a small team working in the ice-marginal terrain in South-West Greenland? They set out to investigate proglacial lakes using sediment coring, water sampling and gas collections (figure 1), aiming to better understand methane dynamics, proglacial terrain development and the environmental drivers behind methane production in glacially influenced lake system ...[Read More]
