The world must pursue "net negative emissions" or "drawdown" strategies to have a reasonable chance of avoiding catastrophic climate change. All scenarios for keeping global temperature change below 1.5C or 2C involve extensive carbon sequestration. Agricultural soils, grasslands, and wetlands are huge potential sinks for carbon if properly managed. This studentship will explore the state of our scientific understanding, results from field trials, emerging policy frameworks, and proposals to accelerate progress and build the field of soil-based carbon sequestration globally. The studentship is part of a recently awarded NERC project 'Soils research to deliver greenhouse gas removals and abatement technologies' (SOILS-R-GGREAT) to be conducted by a consortium (including SRUC, JHI and University of Edinburgh) led by Professor Peter Smith at the University of Aberdeen. As such, the student will gain significant exposure to a programme of research being conducted by leading research teams in the UK and internationally

世界必须追求“净负排放”或“减排”战略，才能有合理的机会避免灾难性的气候变化。所有将全球气温变化控制在1.5摄氏度或2摄氏度以下的方案都涉及广泛的碳封存。如果管理得当，农业土壤、草地和湿地是巨大的潜在碳汇。该奖学金将探索我们的科学认识状况、实地试验结果、新出现的政策框架，以及加速进展和建立全球土壤碳封存领域的建议。该奖学金是最近授予的NERC项目“土壤研究提供温室气体清除和减排技术”（土壤- r - ggreat）的一部分，该项目由阿伯丁大学的彼得·史密斯教授领导的一个财团（包括SRUC， JHI和爱丁堡大学）进行。因此，学生将有机会接触到由英国和国际领先的研究团队进行的研究项目
