About
Our climate is deeply connected to how ecosystems function: ecosystems regulate the exchange of energy and matter between land and atmosphere, creating powerful feedbacks that shape local and global climate. My research focuses on how climate change — and especially extreme events — alters these feedbacks between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. Together with my team, I investigate this using a range of approaches: from direct field measurements (e.g. eddy covariance towers) to remote sensing and ecosystem modelling. We work across diverse systems — forests, peatlands, and even urban environments — to quantify, understand, and simulate how ecosystems respond to change, and how these responses in turn influence climate.
