Post-doc @GFZ_Potsdam. Finished PhD @GeogBristol. Using 🛰️ to explore carbon fluxes in disturbed and recovering forests and assessing policy implications🌿🌎
Joined February 2012
Tropical forests recovering from disturbances offset 1/4 of carbon emissions from tropical deforestation and degradation. In a new paper in @nature we quantify the C sink of these forests in the Amazon, Borneo and Central Africa: https://t.co/7ldxCNI7h1 How did we do this? 1/

New work is out in @plantspplplanet - #Anthromes and #forest carbon responses to global change - Incorporating an anthromes perspective with CMIP6 carbon climate feedbacks, we show how recent past tropical forest land carbon stocks are uniquely vulnerable to global change

New forest age dataset alert 🚨 🌳 The ages of forest are integral to understanding forest dynamics, especially Carbon dynamics. Simons new GAMI map can be integrated into spatial models to help do just that! Looking forward to our next steps together!

Forest recovery success or failure? Remote sensing can help answer this question. Take a look at our new RSE paper: https://t.co/00TSTBL9bS Big thanks to my amazing co-authors @albaa_vs , @AnaStritih , @RupertSeidl and especially @corneliussenf for the great support!

Last week the dream from my PhD to organise a workshop on Quantifying forest regrowth and recovery from deforestation and degradation (R2D2 for short 🤖) took place. It was an honour to collaborate with people from all career stages, in person and online. Thank you🌳🌲🌴

Attribution study shows Amazon's record drought driven by climate change (not by the El Niño)

The world's largest rainforest protects us from climate change but deforestation has left it vulnerable.

Mind the Gap on tropical forest carbon. 🛰️🌎🌳 @esa_eo, @esaclimate and @CAlbergel have helped to summarise our work published recently in Carbon Balance and Management: https://t.co/cIchFjxyLZ Read the full study here: https://t.co/bUwcYDgYGD

Tropical forests are clearly critical to Earth’s climate system, but understanding exactly how much carbon they absorb from the atmosphere, store and release is tricky to calculate, not least because...

The paper is the final chapter of my PhD @GeogBristol. It builds on the work of @giac_grassi, @Drjohouse and @joana_lx_bm and was not possible without the help of so many people along the way. @tmrosan @aragao_luiz @landcarbonlab @GW4plusDTP 8/8

We need accurate, credible, and transparent methods in measuring and verifying forest-flux estimates. Failure risks misrepresenting the carbon fluxes of the world's forests. #ClimateChange #TransparencyMatters 7/8

🔍 Conclusions: Our study emphasizes the need for enhanced transparency, aligning with the Paris Agreement #ClimatePolicy. Adjusting EO datasets for comparability with NGHGI can reconcile initial discrepancies and reveal insights for independent measuring and verification. 6/8

🌏 Indonesia and Malaysia present unique challenges in reconciling carbon flux estimates. Despite limitations in spatial data, our study identifies key factors contributing to divergence. 5/8

A key reason is how each approach defines the anthropogenic forests CO2 sink. National reports determine the forest area considered as managed, satellites cannot distinguish this area. Adjusting EO to NGHGI's managed forest definition aligns estimates. 4/8

🔍 Results: In Brazil, the EO-derived estimates show the country as a net carbon sink (-0.2 GtCO2/yr), contrasting with NGHGI reporting a source (+0.8 GtCO2/yr) between 2001-2020. Why are these estimates so different? 3/8
