There is a critical need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit the impacts of global climate change. Moreover, carbon pricing systems are acting as financial incentives for industry to implement practical GHG-cutting approaches. This research will investigate geochemical and geobiological processes of carbon management and sequestration as strategies for reducing net GHG emissions. Field studies will provide insights into Earths carbon cycle while laboratory experiments will elucidate the drivers and limitations of specific processes that lead to the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). These processes can be manipulated in geoengineered systems designed to accelerate CO2 sequestration.

迫切需要减少温室气体(GHG)排放，以限制全球气候变化的影响。此外，碳定价系统正在成为工业实施实际温室气体减排方法的财政激励措施。这项研究将调查碳管理和封存的地球化学和地球生物学过程，以此作为减少温室气体净排放的战略。实地研究将提供对地球碳循环的洞察，而实验室实验将阐明导致二氧化碳(CO2)储存的特定过程的驱动因素和限制。这些过程可以在旨在加速二氧化碳封存的地球工程系统中进行操作。
