Research summary
AI-generated

Jorge A. Villa studies wetlands and peatlands, focusing on how these ecosystems produce and release greenhouse gases like methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), and how they store carbon in soils. His work spans field measurements in places like Louisiana, Colombia, and Malaysia, drone-based imagery, and computer modeling to predict how wetlands respond to changes such as saltwater intrusion, drainage, and land management. Prospective students would likely work on combining field data collection with data analysis or modeling tools to understand wetland carbon and gas cycling.
