Lee van Ardenne

Research Biologist

Lee van Ardenne has been with IWWR since 2021. He is involved in research regarding ecosystem services provided by wetlands, with a focus on carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions. Other focuses include work on how wetlands can influence river flow and flood regimes and geospatial analysis of wetlands to develop decision support tools.
