1. Carbonyl sulfide can be used as a tracer for gross primary production provided that all sources and sinks are taken into account.

(This thesis)

2. Knowing how measurements are obtained is crucial for the interpretation of observations.

(Chapter 2 of this thesis)

3. A large challenge in the academic world is to reduce the carbon footprint of scientists, while maintaining effective communication between them. 4. Success of experimental work requires the support of technical staff.

5. The metrics-driven academic culture hinders the quality of scientific research. 6. The countries that are impacted the most by climate change are not the main

contributors to climate change.

7. Future technology will allow to adjust greenhouse gas emissions to keep a stable climate.

1. Carbonyl sulfide kan gebruikt worden om de bruto primaire productie te kwantificeren mits rekening wordt gehouden met alle bronnen en putten. (Dit proefschrift)

2. Weten hoe metingen zijn gedaan is cruciaal voor het interpreteren van waarnemingen.

(Hoofdstuk 2 van dit proefschrift)

3. Een grote uitdaging in de academische wereld is om de CO2-voetafdruk van

wetenschappers te reduceren en tegelijkertijd effectieve communicatie tussen wetenschappers te behouden.

4. De ondersteuning van technisch personeel is nodig voor het slagen van experimenteel werk.

5. De kwaliteit van wetenschappelijk onderzoek wordt belemmerd door de academische cultuur die gericht is op het behalen van targets.

6. Met toekomstige technologie zullen we in staat zijn om emissies van broeikasgassen te regelen om het klimaat stabiel te houden.

7. De landen die het zwaarst worden getroffen door klimaatverandering zijn niet de landen die het meeste bijdragen aan klimaatverandering.
