Methane (CH4) Flux Dynamics in Subarctic Peatland Thaw Ponds Using Field and Remote Sensing Techniques

Sophie's research involves the monitoring of CH4 emissions (focusing on ebullitive flux) from thaw ponds at Stordalen Mire in Northern Sweden. Her goals are to understand how CH4 emissions from these ponds are changing over time and to compare them to those of other sub-ecosystems within the whole mire landscape (i.e. intact peat and lakes). She is also interested in using UAVs (unmanned areal vehicles) and other remote sensing platforms as a way of assessing seasonal and interannual changes in thaw pond size.
