The Terrestrial Physics Lab

Our research focuses on the effects of shifting environmental conditions, particularly global warming, on terrestrial ecosystem biogeochemistry. Specifically, we aim to uncover the complex interactions between water and carbon cycles, investigating how they respond and adapt within soil under changing climate conditions. To achieve this, we employ a wide range of methodologies, including pore-scale techniques such as microscopy and imaging, controlled experiments in climate chambers, and extensive field observations and measurements. By integrating advanced numerical models, theoretical mathematical frameworks, and machine learning, we aim to deepen our understanding of carbon dynamics within terrestrial ecosystems.
