Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Kukka Maaria Kohonen. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Kukka-Maaria Kohonen is an atmospheric scientist specializing in micrometeorological gas exchange measurements, particularly through eddy covariance chamber techniques in various ecosystems. Her research primarily focuses on biogeochemical cycles utilizing greenhouse gas flux measurements. As a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich, she investigates the carbon cycle in alpine grasslands and the potential reduction of agricultural nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Her PhD research centered around carbonyl sulfide (COS) exchange in boreal ecosystems and included leaf soil chamber measurements and eddy covariance to explore the link between COS exchange and photosynthesis. Kohonen has also examined lake-atmosphere interactions and compared measurement methods for greenhouse gas exchange in aquatic environments. Current projects include ABACOS, which aims to constrain forest CO2 and evapotranspiration fluxes using above- and below-canopy COS fluxes.
