Research interests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research interests are dealing with carbon cycling in aquatic systems, focusing on the comprehension of the biogeochemical processes that constrain its spatial and temporal variability. Freshwater systems are tightly bound to their surrounding terrestrial landscapes and resolving the nature of these interactions is key to deepen knowledge on ecosystem properties and processes, and on their trajectories in the face of global change. In this context, I am particularly interested in understanding the dynamics of microbial communities in response to environmental fluctuating conditions and how it impacts ecosystem metabolic regimes and carbon fluxes at larger scale. I have been addressing these questions in lakes and streams characterized by a large gradient of human disturbances. Currently, I aim at delineating the processes acting on CO2<\/sub>at the lateral boundaries of the large Lake Geneva, with a specific attention on the interplay between inorganic carbon geochemistry and communities metabolism, and scaling their relative contributions to the whole carbon budget. To this end, I rely on a combined approach involving high frequency monitoring with environmental sensors, spatial field surveys and analytical biogeochemistry tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
