CarboGrass members came together, both in person at EGU 2025 in Vienna and online, for an interactive and collaborative data hackathon session. A total of 10 participants explored the first compiled version of the CarboGrass dataset, which integrates data contributions from all participating teams across 20 farm sites worldwide.
The 2h session began with a brief overview of the available variables, followed by an engaging brainstorming part, using an interactive whiteboard. Together, the group:
- Explored ideas for cross-site analyses to advance understanding of grassland carbon dynamics.
- Identified key preliminary research questions that can be addressed using the shared dataset.
The session had a productive discussion and laid a strong foundation for the next steps in data exploration and synthesis. This marks an exciting step toward unlocking the full scientific potential of this global dataset.
