ITMS at the 2026 EGU General Assembly in Vienna
 

The Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System for Germany (ITMS) was represented at the 2026 EGU General Assembly in Vienna with a wide range of oral and poster presentations. In addition, several sessions were organized by ITMS members.

The presented work covered a broad spectrum of current research in the field of atmospheric greenhouse gas monitoring. This included, among other topics:

• Regional inversion modeling and transport model errors

• Aquatic GHG emissions (N₂O & CH₄) from estuaries and coastal waters

• Quantification of methane and CO₂ fluxes from forest and peatland ecosystems

• Data assimilation with ICON-ART

• Use of harmonized atmospheric observations and radon measurements

• Operational systems for greenhouse gas monitoring

• Standards and good scientific practice in software development

• Satellite- and ground-based remote sensing of CO₂ and CH₄

The presentations were delivered by scientists from various ITMS partner institutions.

The conference provided a valuable opportunity for scientific exchange, new collaborations, and discussions on current developments in atmospheric observation and modeling of greenhouse gases, as well as the identification of their sources and sinks.

We would like to thank all participants for the interesting discussions and positive feedback during the conference.
