Dr Clément Duvert is a senior research fellow with the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods (RIEL) at Charles Darwin University (CDU).
Tropical rivers, lakes and wetlands receive large quantities of terrestrial carbon, which they process and release as greenhouse gases (GHG). These GHG emissions from tropical freshwaters have been overlooked due to limited observations across the tropics until recently.
In the seminar ‘Hidden emissions: Greenhouse gases from tropical freshwaters’, Clément will present results from a new database of GHG concentrations and fluxes in tropical freshwater systems. He will highlight the extreme variability in GHG concentrations and fluxes across the tropics, and the role of small streams, ponds and riparian wetlands as globally significant hotspots of GHG emissions.
Clément is a senior research fellow specialising in isotope hydrology and aquatic carbon cycling. He is interested in understanding the movement of water and associated solutes through tropical landscapes. At CDU, his work examines the transfer of carbon from soils to aquifers and rivers. He co-leads the Top End Hydrology Lab with Dr Dylan Irvine.
