Short summary
We use a combination of hydrogeophysical methods and direct cores to better understand peatland thickness in Indonesia and estimate carbon storage in remote peatland systems where available information is limited. Results show that geophysical methods can help improve peat thickness accuracy (when compared to coring), and help identify certain features within the peat matrix such as organomineral horizons, wood layers or buttressed trees.
