Little is known about atmospheric exchanges of greenhouse gasses in forested subtropical wetlands like Florida’s Everglades because imaging and identifying these areas are difficult. Researchers are developing a ground-penetrating radar prototype mounted on a small, unoccupied aircraft system to efficiently identify hot spots and hot moments for biogenic gas accumulation and release in the subtropical peat soils in the Everglades. Major greenhouse gases emitted from the Everglades include carbon monoxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which are affected by nutrients as well as hydrologic conditions.
