The Wetland Carbon Lab welcomes two new PhD students

August 21, 2025
  • Fuad will be working on carbon and nutrient dynamics at the interface between blue carbon ecosystems and aquaculture.

 

  • Zhentao will be working on greenhouse gas exchange in tropical peatlands.

 

  • Warm welcome to them and looking forward to seeing their contributions to the team!

Eddy covariance system setup with collaborators from all over the world

August 5, 2025
  • The past two weeks were busy in the lab where we set up our first eddy covariance flux system.

.

  • This was a team effort led by our great Chief Engineer, Olaf Kolle (formerly at the Max Plank Institute). Students and staff from NTU Asian School of the Environment, National University of Singapore, Université de Montréal, and Université de la Nouvelle-Calédonie got involved in the setup and training.

Eddy Covariance Workshop at ASE

March 11, 2025

The Wetland Carbon Lab organized a workshop on eddy covariance measurements at the NTU Asian School of the Environment. Collaborators and colleagues from various institutions including NUS and NParks participated.

We hope to take part of the establishment of eddy covariance network in Singapore and in the region!

Wetland Carbon Lab in Brunei

March 7, 2025
Adri and Pierre visited the Mendaram Peat Swamp Forest, Brunei.
We were working with several international collaborators including Rahayu Sukmaria (Universiti Brunei Darussalam), Alex Cobb (SMART), Oliver Sonnentag (Université de Montréal), Matteo Detto (Princeton University), Olaf Kolle (formerly at Max Plank Institute).

The Mendaram Peat Swamp Forest is one of the most pristine peatlands in the region and hope to monitor carbon dynamics there soon!

AlterCOP29

December 3, 2024

Pierre co-organized the AlterCOP day on Biodiversity, Carbon Markets & Nature-based Solutions.

The event was a huge success, featuring outstanding speakers coming from academia, NGOs and the corporate sector.

It brought a large crowd and got people talking about nature-based carbon management from different perspectives.

Many thanks to the organizers The Matcha Initiative and The Transmutation Principle.

We look forward to AlterCOP30!
