Prof Emanuel Gloor
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
My interest is in documenting and understanding large-scale (continental to global) interactions and changes of the coupled carbon cycle climate system over time-scales relevant to us today.
The tools include atmospheric and oceanic Greenhouse Gas measurements, and interpretation of such data using 3D fluid dynamics models of atmospheric and oceanic transport and chemistry, as well as ancillary data e.g. from remote sensing.
CURRENT PROJECTS
AMAZONICA NERC
consortium grant
Objectives (i) To quantify the carbon balance of the Amazon Basin and its associated contribution to global atmospheric change. (ii) To apportion and understand the processes contributing to the net Basin-wide flux observed. (iii) To allow improved assessments of the likely role of the Amazon Basin in contributing and/or alleviating future planetary change.
