 tlands in a changing world: Processes\, feedbacks and the climate benefits
  of wetlands\n\n \n\nAbstract: Among the numerous ecosystem services provi
 ded by wetlands climate regulation is identified as one of their most impo
 rtant benefits to society. Wetland ecosystems play an important role in th
 e global carbon cycle\; they provide the ideal environment for long-term s
 torage of atmospheric CO2\, yet they are also the largest single source of
  methane. Climate change could increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions fro
 m wetlands\, however\, the consequences of rising temperatures on wetland 
 GHG exchange remain uncertain. Furthermore\, preventing further wetland lo
 ss and restoring wetland ecosystems has been identified as important in li
 miting future emissions to help meet climate goals. This talk presents res
 earch that combines field-based measurements\, remote sensing\, and modell
 ing to provide new insights into the controls of wetland GHG fluxes across
  a range of spatial and temporal scales and quantify the potential climate
  benefits of wetland restoration and conservation. This research is key to
  better predicting current and future contributions of wetlands to climate
  change\, which is highly relevant for policies aiming to limit the level 
 of global temperature rise.\n\n \n
