Hydrologic Research in the Congo Basin

Explore the key findings and discussions from the 2018 Chapman Conference on Hydrologic Research in the Congo Basin in this 33-minute video. Delve into the opening remarks by Pascal Boeckx and examine the central hypothesis that the Congo Basin's annual average CO2 and CH4 emissions from water bodies exceed 480 Tg C/yr, rivaling the Amazon's output per unit area. Learn about units, scales, estimates, data collection methods, wetlands, biochemical models, water stores, and modeling challenges. Gain insights into uncertainty in research, PhD studies, hydrologic model development, net ecosystem productivity, and the crucial link between hydrology and carbon in this complex ecosystem.
