Feedbacks in wetscapes 2.0: novel, integrated modeling approaches to assess climate change mitigation and adaptation potential (S04)

• Subject Area: Physical Geography
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 531801029

We will integrate data via data assimilation products and machine learning approaches to quantify physical and biogeochemical process interactions and feedbacks between rewetted peatlands and the landscapes they are imbedded in. The specific objectives are: (1) to quantify physical and biogeochemical process-interactions and feedbacks between peatlands, their landscapes and beyond, (2) to identify the challenges and uncertainties in quantifying these feedbacks at larger areas and across scales via multiple, integrated approaches; (3) to use process-based models as learning frameworks by informing and enhancing data collection and experimental setup schemes as well as model structures to reduce uncertainties in the future.
