Research Interests

D71_2875-300x200

Understanding the interactions between land surface and the atmosphere is critically important for conserving ecosystems, stabilizing earth climate, and promoting health and well-being. My research interests are to mechanistically understand the interactions of the energy, water, and greenhouse gases using tools of micrometeorology and environmental sciences. Specifically, our group uses field observations at a range of land surface (e.g., forests, wetlands, fire scars, urban buildups, and urban park), remote sensing, and mathematical models for integrating and synthesizing data to knowledge.



Current projects

Measurements of CH4 emissions from urban landscapes through the KAKENHI project

Measurements of CH4 flux at upland forests through the KAKENHI project, KAKENHI project

Greenhouse gas budgets at Arctic and boreal ecosystems through the ArCS project, ArCSII and ADC synthesis

Understanding global wetland CH4 dynamics through the FLUXNET-CH4 synthesis, KAKENHI project



Research Tools

Micrometeorological measurements (e.g., eddy covariance method, relaxed eddy accumulation method) Modelling: ecological model (e.g., Biome-BGC, big-leaf model), machine learning, multi-layer turbulent model (second order closure model, Lagrangian localized near-field theory) Remote sensing Programing (C, C++, Python)
