More about Andrew’s
research:
River networks play an important role in carbon cycling at watershed, regional,
and global scales. They serve as pipes that transport carbon from the watersheds
they drain, and as complex processers that modify the timing, form, and
magnitude of these fluxes. My research examines the sources of and controls on
carbon dioxide and methane emissions from streams and rivers. Using emerging
sensor technology and novel monitoring designs, I describe these dynamics on
rarely observed temporal and spatial scales, thereby informing a more robust
accounting of stream ecosystems in global carbon budgets.
