Main Focus
My research focuses on the challenges of monitoring Arctic permafrost carbon flux under stably stratified atmosphere. This include:
developing a method to calculate actual carbon flux from available measurements using idealized Large Eddy Simulations of the stable boundary layer
validating our findings with different measurement techniques, including the Eddy Covariance Method
