Environmental Technology Lab

We are a research lab a the University of Tartu, Department of Geography. Our research focuses on studying the physical, biological, and chemical processes that govern trace gas and energy exchange between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere. Our overarching goal is to understand how the terrestrial biosphere breathes; how plants and microbes regulate the exchange of trace gases and the need for energy to support their metabolism. Our core research involves:

  • Quantifying greenhouse gas exchange across various land use types
  • Wetlands biogeochemistry
  • Wetland restoration and management
