Research
Our research stands for studying the effects of shifting environmental conditions, particularly the impacts of global warming, on terrestrial ecosystem biogeochemistry. Our specific aim is to unravel the complex interaction between water and carbon cycles, examining how they dynamically interact within soil under changing climatic conditions. To achieve this goal, we employ a diverse range of methodologies. These include pore-scale techniques involving microscopy and imaging, controlled experiments in climate chambers, and extensive field observations and measurements. By integrating advanced numerical and theoretical mathematical frameworks alongside machine learning, these approaches facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of carbon dynamics within terrestrial ecosystems.
