Review of emissions from smouldering peat fires and their contribution to regional haze episodes
, 2018 Smouldering peat fires, the largest fires on Earth in terms of fuel consumption, are reported in six continents and are responsible for regional haze episodes. Haze is the large-scale accumulation of smoke at low altitudes in the atmosphere. It decreases

Hydraulic properties of peat soils along a bulk density gradient—A meta study
Hydrological Processes, 2018 Our understanding of hydraulic properties of peat soils is limited compared with that of mineral substrates. In this study, we aimed to deduce possible alterations of hydraulic properties of peat soils following degradation resulting from peat drainage ...

ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia [PDF]
, 2011 Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year.

The performance of polyurethane grout to stabilise hemic peat [PDF]
, 2020 Peat has always considered as a challenging ground for any form of construction due to its engineering characteristics such as high short-term settlement, prolonged long term post construction settlement and high natural moisture content exceedingly ...

Dynamics of methane ebullition from a peat monolith revealed from a dynamic flux chamber system [PDF]
, 2014 Methane (CH4) ebullition in northern peatlands is poorly quantified in part due to its high spatiotemporal variability. In this study, a dynamic flux chamber (DFC) system was used to continuously measure CH4 fluxes from a monolith of near‐surface ...

Misinterpreting carbon accumulation rates in records from near-surface peat
Scientific Reports, 2019 Peatlands are globally important stores of carbon (C) that contain a record of how their rates of C accumulation have changed over time. Recently, near-surface peat has been used to assess the effect of current land use practices on C accumulation rates ...

From carbon sink to carbon source: extensive peat oxidation in insular Southeast Asia since 1990
, 2017 Tropical peatlands of the western part of insular Southeast Asia have experienced extensive land cover changes since 1990. Typically involving drainage, these land cover changes have resulted in increased peat oxidation in the upper peat profile. In this

Construction of Buildings on Peat: Case Studies and Lessons Learned
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 Building construction on soft soils including on peat has many challenges and difficulties. The failed and deteriorated buildings have a big impact on the community. The IConCEES International Workshop 2015 which was conducted on October 2015 convened as
