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.
