How do human activities alter greenhouse gas fluxes and the carbon cycle across ecosystems and regions? The research establishes global monitoring networks (including methane tower measurements at many sites) and develops mobility and climate models to quantify emissions. The group measures methane, carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gases from landscapes, oil and gas infrastructure, and urban sources and combines field measurement, atmospheric inversions, and machine-learning to resolve source-sink dynamics. Researchers integrate observations into global carbon budgets and policy-relevant analyses of emissions and mitigation.
