My goal is to understand how different ecosystems are regulating atmospheric processes that are relevant for weather, climate, and air quality predictions. My focus is the study of biophysical processes in the planetary boundary layer mostly through measurements and to a lesser extent through modelling. Key areas of my research include (1) the study of how different land covers affect the height of the planetary boundary layer and how this affects the weather and air quality we experience; (2) the study of methane emissions from wetlands with the goal of developing better models of the greenhouse gas budget of the planet; (3) the study of the diversity in plant physiological and mechanical processes that regulate water, trace gas, and momentum fluxes.
