Wetlands & Climate Change: Carbon & Nutrient Biogeochemistry

How wetlands respond to the changing climate and anthropogenic stressors are my core research interests. With the University of Calgary Alberta Canada I monitored and modeled the potential impacts of climate change on carbon and nutrient biogeochemistry and plant productivity of a boreal peatland. My wetland research extended to the monitoring of reclaimed and restored ecosystems as well as modeling of a water treatment wetland while working with Imperial Oil Resources (Exxon Mobil) Calgary Alberta Canada. I am Tariq Munir and I completed my PhD with University of Calgary with focus on forested peatlands and climate change. Moreover I have also collaborated and published a global wetland research project that focused on environmental and taxonomic controls of stable isotope compositions in plants. Currently one of my global research collaborations is focusing on peatland hydrology modeling of NASA’s GEOS-5 earth system modeling. Contents of the book are significantly credible and reliable given that seven research articles are published in peer-reviewed and reputed North-American and European Journals.
