Research topics

My research areas are the carbon and water cycle, with a focus on the exchange of CO2 between the atmosphere and biosphere in tropical regions. I want to contribute to a better understanding of the impact of environmental conditions on this exchange, for example the response of the Amazon forest to severe droughts ().

Tools

In my research I use stable isotopes, remote sensing products (SIF, NIRv) and models (, CarbonTracker) to constrain gross primary production (GPP) and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2. I enjoy in-depth explorations of novel methods, such as D17O ( ), but also feel that the combination of different methods is a promising way forward.

Activities

Although I am working mainly as a modeler, I try to find time to contribute to occasional measurement campaigns, such as a recent campaign at the Loobos flux tower site (see ). As a supporter of open science, I intend to make the software that we develop available (e.g., a and ) and publish the data sets that we create in open repositories. Next to teaching and publishing research (), I enjoy contributing to the community by taking on editorial (see ) and reviewing tasks.
