Research interests
Methane dynamics in natural lakes
Understanding patterns and controls of all processes involved in the CH4 cycle in lakes, from its production to oxidation and emission
Greenhouse gas emissions from Batang Ai, a tropical reservoir
Assess the different C emission pathways and physical and metabolic processes to shape the C footprint of the reservoir
Gas exchange mechanisms across the air-water interface
Obtain a better physical understanding in air-water gas exchange processes and to provide the magnitude of gas fluxes.
Upscaling of GHG emissions from lakes and reservoirs
Developing a new modeling approach to estimate the net change in GHG emissions due to the introduction of a reservoir
