Hydrologic Research in the Congo Basin

This course aims to explore the hydrologic research in the Congo Basin, focusing on the hypothesis that the annual-average amount of CO2 and CH4 evasion from all Congo Basin waters exceeds 480 Tg C/yr. The course covers topics such as units and scales, data collection, wetlands, modeling challenges, uncertainty, and the development of hydrologic models. The teaching method involves discussions, presentations, and analysis of biochemical models. This course is intended for researchers, scientists, and students interested in hydrology, carbon cycling, and ecosystem productivity in the Congo Basin.
