Florian Siegert and His Team Utilize LIDAR Method to Calculate the Volume of Peat Burned in Forest Fires

Peatlands or wetlands in tropical regions remove large amount of organic carbon. But, now-a-days, human activities have an impact on these wetlands. Large-scale fires, triggered by drainage projects in combination with repeated droughts, can release large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which ultimately leads to global warming. Prof. Florian Siegert and his research group at GeoBio-Center, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat (LMU) have estimated the volume of peat burned in fires with accuracy, with the help of laser-based measurements.
