<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">Support for coastal wetland restoration projects that consider carbon storage as a climate mitigation benefit is growing as coastal wetlands are sites of substantial carbon sequestration.
However, the climate footprint of wetland restoration remains controversial as wetlands can also be large sources of methane. This talk focuses specifically on the carbon flows into and out of three restored wetlands in the San Francisco Bay-Delta that differ
in salinity, tidal influence, and landscape configuration. By understanding the balance between carbon burial, carbon emissions, and hydrologic carbon export in various restored wetlands we can provide insights into the benefits and tradeoffs of coastal wetland
restoration for climate change mitigation, and perhaps, advise how to optimally design wetland restoration projects to maximize carbon uptake and minimize greenhouse gas production.</span><br>

Department at UC Berkeley. Ariane was born, raised, and educated in Barcelona, Spain, where she earned a BA degree and Ph.D. from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. She moved to the States in 2019 thanks to a NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral
Fellowship to study the role of coastal wetland restoration as a natural climate solution. Ariane’s background centers on the application of radionuclides and tracers to study carbon fluxes and transformations in sediments of coastal ecosystems. Her prior
research was related to understanding the capacity of Blue Carbon ecosystems (seagrasses, mangroves, and saltmarshes) to store carbon at different time scales and the losses of stored carbon associated with the degradation of these habitats.</span></div>
