Research Summary
My work is primarily seeking to understand how lakes function and their role in the carbon cycle and feedback to climate. I specifically aim at elucidating by quantitative means, the strong potential of factors that control the pathways and turnover times that define the aquatic carbon storage and emission to cause non-linear dynamics with future climate change. I am particularly interested in tracing the contribution of organic carbon sources in aquatic ecosystems using deuterium stable isotope as well as scaling lake morphometry at regional and global scales.

Climate change and potential impact on freshwaters from increase of lateral carbon fluxes
The high latitude harboring the largest freshwater area and soils carbon stocks on Earth is projected to show the largest temperature increase. This creates a potential for change in the lateral movement of terrestrial with important consequence for regional and global C cycle
