Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and relative elevation modeling are key tools in my research for analyzing the spatial distribution of carbon stocks, sediment movement, and floodplain morphology. These techniques enable me to visualize and model environmental changes and predict future dynamics in river systems.

The EGM-5 CO₂ flux meter, pictured here, is a key tool in my research for measuring CO₂ fluxes across floodplains. These measurements help quantify carbon cycling and storage in river environments, with broader implications for carbon accounting and climate change mitigation efforts.

Water sampling is a fundamental aspect of my research, allowing for the analysis of water quality, sediment transport, and carbon content in river systems. These samples provide essential data to understand the interactions between water, sediments, and carbon in floodplains and the broader ecosystem.

Radiocarbon dating is used to determine the age and origin of sediment deposits, offering insights into the temporal dynamics of sediment accumulation and carbon sequestration. This technique is crucial for understanding long-term sediment and carbon storage patterns in river corridors.

Carbonation reactions in basalt rocks involve the interaction of CO₂ with deep geological formations, leading to the storage and sequestration of carbon within the rock matrix. This process plays a key role in natural geologic carbon sequestration, offering valuable insights into how basaltic rocks can be leveraged for long-term carbon capture and storage strategies to mitigate climate change.
