Research Interest
Pierre Taillardat’s research program is designed to evaluate the role wetlands play in modern biogeochemical budgets and to provide recommendations for integrating these environments into future sustainable development strategies, with carbon removal as the top priority.
Three key questions drive his research:
1. How can we maximize carbon sequestration in managed wetlands?
2. How can we minimize greenhouse gas emissions from degraded wetlands?
3. How can wetland conservation and restoration best be integrated into climate change mitigation policies?
