Limnological Observatory of the Pyrenees (LOOP)

Crossing Estany Llong in the late afternoon

Heading down to the valley after a long day working in the Contraix Catchment

Antoine is checking the battery and communications of the soil-stream multi-sensor platform in the lower part of the Contraix Catchment

Our soil–stream multi-sensor platform in the lower Contraix Catchment is almost completely buried in snow. We measured about 2 m of snow.

Last week we carried out our monthly biogeochemical sampling across the Sant Nicolau river network (LTER Aigüestortes) and maintained our soil-stream multi-sensor platforms. Spring conditions in the Pyrenees, with more snow than usual for this time of year.

Welcome to LOOP! We are a multi-institutional scientific network (UB, CREAF, CEAB-CSIC, IDAEA-CSIC) investigating how mountain freshwaters in the Pyrenees respond to global environmental change. Join us on our scientific journey!
