The project seeks to enhance predictions of carbon storage and gas emissions across peatlands from Alaska to the Everglades by using advanced geophysical methods like airborne GPR and ground-based TEM. Researchers will gather detailed spatial data to refine carbon storage estimates and explore how factors like permafrost and extreme weather influence gas release in these ecosystems.
