Atmosphere-Biosphere signal attribution in the tropics (BSAT)

Junior Research Group

Dr. Santiago Botía

Mission

The research in the Biosphere-Atmosphere Signal Attribution (BSAT) concentrates in combining top-down (atmospheric inversions) and bottom-up (vegetation models) approaches together with multiple data streams to understand carbon dynamics in tropical ecosystems.

The overarching questions guiding our research:

  1. What are the main drivers of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) at the pan-tropical scale?
  2. What is the role of tropical biogenic methane emissions in the current global methane growth rate?
  3. Understand and quantify current and future trends in terrestrial CO2 and CH4 sinks/sources in tropical ecosystems.
