Climate change poses a significant threat to humanity, prompting numerous countries, including India, to implement effective mitigation strategies to alleviate its impact. India is recognized as one of the 17 megadiverse countries, harboring approximately 10% of the world’s known floral and faunal species. This rich biodiversity is largely attributed to its geographical diversity, encompassi ...[Read More]

My EGU25 highlights: Inspiring inland water greenhouse gas emission science

Teresa Silverthorn and Lucia Layritz July 21, 2025

field measurements of greenhouse gas emissions using floating chambers on a agricultural drainage ditch.

The notion that inland waters are passive participants in biogeochemical cycling, with lakes as recipients and rivers as pipes, has long been overturned. More and more research suggests the global importance of inland waters in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange. EGU25 had a remarkable line-up of talks and posters on inland water GHG emissions. I’ll revisit some o ...[Read More]
