Biography

Marcus Cheuk Hei Tong is a postdoctoral researcher specializing in peatland ecology, with a particular focus on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon balance. His work investigates the effects of rewetting on carbon dynamics and greenhouse gas fluxes in peatland ecosystems. Utilizing advanced methodologies such as the Eddy Covariance technique, he explores how different rewetting practices influence the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide and methane between peatlands and the atmosphere. Marcus's research is crucial for understanding how managing peatlands—especially through rewetting—can mitigate climate change by restoring carbon balance and reducing the release of harmful greenhouse gases. He believes that his work is instrumental in bridging knowledge gaps regarding the role of peatlands in global carbon cycles, providing practical insights into sustainable land management practices aimed at enhancing carbon sequestration.
