Koffi Dodji Noumonvi
Presentation
I am Koffi, a versatile scientist, with many tools in my toolbox. I make use of programming and (geospatial) data analysis, to study ecological processes such as greenhouse gas fluxes, plant phenology, forest dynamics, etc. I am also a software engineer.
Research
My current research focuses on the coupling of carbon and water fluxes in boreal forests, in order to understand the effects of climate change on boreal forest carbon budgets. Previously during my PhD, I focused on the spatial variations in methane fluxes in northern peatlands. I make use of spatial data analysis in my research to identify environmental controls on biogeochemical processes, linking spatial patterns in vegetation, hydrology, and soil properties to variations in carbon and methane fluxes.
Before my PhD, I worked on forest ecosystem mapping and change analysis.
