Really pleased to be part of this new study led by Josh Hashemi showing that to accurately upscale CH₄ budgets, especially in complex landscapes, we need high-res data and land-cover classes that reflect the key enviro factors driving CH4 production and emissions

New Study in ES&T! Permafrost peatlands accumulate mercury from distant sources, but thaw causes collapse into wetter bogs and fens. Lauren Thompson shows that these bogs, and especially fens, become hotspots for mercury methylation, and potential downstream transport.
