de la Barreda-Bautista, B., Ledger, M. J., Sjögersten, S., Gee, D., Sowter, A., Cole, B., …Boyd, D. S. (2024). Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique. Remote Sensing, 16(12), Article 2249. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16122249

Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia have experienced widespread subsidence due to forest clearance and drainage for agriculture, oil palm and pulp wood production, causing concerns about their function as a long-term carbon store. Peatland drainage... Read More about Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique.

InSAR-measured permafrost degradation of palsa peatlands in northern Sweden (2024)
Journal Article
Valman, S., Siewert, M. B., Boyd, D., Ledger, M., Gee, D., de la Barreda-Bautista, B., …Sjögersten, S. (2024). InSAR-measured permafrost degradation of palsa peatlands in northern Sweden. Cryosphere, 18(4), 1773-1790. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-18-1773-2024

Climate warming is degrading palsa peatlands across the circumpolar permafrost region. Permafrost degradation may lead to ecosystem collapse and potentially strong climate feedbacks, as this ecosystem is an important carbon store and can transition t...

Assessment of variability of peat physicochemical properties, subsidence and their interactions within Selangor forests (2023)
Journal Article
Dhandapani, S., Evers, S., Boyd, D. S., Yesuf, G., Kinneen, L., Haughan, A., & Sjogersten, S. (2023). Assessment of variability of peat physicochemical properties, subsidence and their interactions within Selangor forests. European Journal of Soil Science, 74(6), Article e13431. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejss.13431

Tropical peat swamp forests are carbon-rich ecosystems both above- and belowground, which play a major role in the climate balance of the earth. The majority of the world's tropical peat forest cover is located in Southeast Asia and is increasingly t...
