Phenology is the dominant control of methane emissions in a tropical non-forested wetland
(Springer Nature, https://www.springernature.com, 2022-01-10)Tropical wetlands are a significant source of atmospheric methane (CH4), but their importance to the global CH4 budget is uncertain due to a paucity of direct observations. Net wetland emissions result from complex ... -
A phenomenological interpretation of Kerebe greetings
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)This article argues that greeting among the Kerebe is a phenomenological project of everydayness in which the concept of being manifests itself in a dialogic manner. This is revealed through the four variables on which ... -
