...nothing really!

Came home from the fieldtrip two days ago. We were working with the data yesterday, had a model and tried to get out some understandable results from all the data. We came to the conclusion that one hectar of trees will take upp 3,38 kg carbon dioxide per day (in a cloudy day), which is corresponding to a petrol consumtion of 1,43 liters. (in a sunny day the same amount of trees would take up 258 kg carbon dioxide per day which is equal to 109,3 liters of petrol). Even though the model is very simple these results are very interesting, just to know the difference in CO2 uptake in a cloudy and sunny day. But the best part is that we measured everything on our own! 


Well, that was the boring part of those days. I've been biking and climbing a lot, very fun and I'm making progress! Next weekend some friends and I will go to a place called Kjugekull. It's a very big bouldering area, for climbing on boulders. Before then I have to climb a lot to get fit for fight!


Well, that's all for now.
