Team
Greenhouse gases and climate change
Our team dedicates to understand how water and carbon as well as nitrogen interact to control various ecological and environmental effects such as greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4, N2O) emissions and eutrophication. We combine field monitoring, lab experiments, and numerical simulations to understand the mechanisms controlling hydro-biogeochemical processes and predict their environmental impacts in future.
