Blue carbon ecosystems, such as mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrass beds, are among the most effective natural carbon sinks, yet carbon fluxes within and between blue carbon ecosystems remain poorly quantified.

.

To address this gap, we measure carbon dynamics at the ecosystem scale. Our approach combines advanced hydrological instrumentation, water chemistry analysis, and isotopic techniques to monitor and model these fluxes.

.

This integrated methodology enhances our understanding of how blue carbon ecosystems regulate carbon transport, providing essential data for climate mitigation strategies and carbon credit accounting.

Peatlands are huge carbon reservoirs, storing approximately 30% of the global ecosystems carbon stocks. However, research has predominantly focused on temperate regions, leaving tropical peatlands underrepresented in scientific studies.

.

To address this gap, we conduct ecosystem-scale monitoring in tropical peatlands, employing eddy covariance towers, chamber-based measurements, and hydrological monitoring.

.

This comprehensive approach enhances our understanding of peatland carbon dynamics, improves the quantification of greenhouse gas fluxes, and supports climate change mitigation.

Aquatic ecosystems release large amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the atmosphere,  yet their contribution remains uncertain due to their dynamic and heterogeneous environments.

.

We investigate aquatic GHG fluxes by integrating two key components: hydrology and biogeochemistry. Using a combination of automated sensors in the field and advanced laboratory analyzers, we document carbon sources, quantities, transformation processes, and their fate throughout the aquatic continuum.

.

These complementary approaches improve our ability to provide robust estimates of GHG fluxes. By advancing our understanding of aquatic biogeochemistry, we contribute to more accurate climate models and better strategies for water resource management and climate change mitigation.
