Gustavo Panique Casso

I am a water engineer by training, with research experience in biogeochemistry. My work focuses on catchment hydrology and the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen across diverse ecosystems. Within this framework, I am particularly interested in modeling aquatic and terrestrial greenhouse gas exchanges to develop more effective mitigation strategies for climate change.
