Spanning from arctic lakes to major tropical river basins, this work investigates the physical, energetic, and biogeochemical dynamics of freshwater, riverine, and coastal environments. Key focuses include physical-biological coupling, air-water gas exchange, sediment transport, and aquatic energetics at the base of food webs. By combining field measurements, high-frequency sensors, remote sensing, and network modeling, researchers advance our understanding of river system sustainability, water quality, and regional-to-global aquatic carbon fluxes under a changing climate.
