42%
Of the carbon dioxide removal from ecosystems occurs in wetlands
35%
of global ecosystem carbon is stored in wetlands
33%
Of the global methane emissions come from wetlands
Critical
Natural buffers protecting climate, communities and biodiversity
We are a research group at the Asian School of the Environment (ASE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, established in 2024.
We quantify carbon exchange in tropical wetlands to improve climate models and guide carbon management strategies.
Through field-based research and data analysis, we generate knowledge that clarifies how wetlands, including peatlands and mangroves, contribute to climate change mitigation.
Core Purpose Statement
Vision : Position wetland conservation, restoration, and management at the center of the global climate agenda.
Mission : Advance scientific knowledge of how wetlands regulate carbon and greenhouse gas fluxes.
Relevance
Deploy advanced field instrumentation to monitor greenhouse gas exchanges, quantify net ecosystem carbon budgets, and describe the processes regulating carbon preservation and emissions in wetlands.
These measurements are important to understand the global carbon budget, improve carbon credit methodologies, and develop natural climate solution strategies.
