Carbon Cycle And Ecosystems

Biography

My primary research interests are 1) to understand how terrestrial ecosystems and oceans respond to climate and environmental changes and 2) to quantify the changes in their carbon cycle. For this, I have utilized atmospheric CO2 measurements, atmospheric and terrestrial carbon modeling, inverse modeling, and satellite-dervied various ecosystem datasets. My current interests are to quantify the uncertainty in carbon flux estimates and to improve CMS flux inverse modeling systems.
