Human activities have altered both land cover and the chemical composition of the atmosphere producing profound changes in the climate system. However, natural disturbances, often occurring much more rapidly than those produced by humans, can also affect the climate system.
A full understanding of the cause/effect mechanisms that link these disturbances to climate change remains elusive, mainly due to the complex interactive feedbacks of the land-atmosphere system. My research, therefore, has the following goals:
A full understanding of the cause/effect mechanisms that link these disturbances to climate change remains elusive, mainly due to the complex interactive feedbacks of the land-atmosphere system. My research, therefore, has the following goals:
1. to understand the changes on climate and environment that result from natural and human disturbance to land cover and the chemistry of the atmosphere.
2. to understand the response of ecosystems to those changes.
