SOILS RESEARCH TO DELIVER GREENHOUSE GAS REMOVALS AND ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGIES (SOILS-R-GGREAT)

该项目的重点将是模拟土壤温室气体(GGR)的去除方案。这名学生将在阿伯丁大学工作，并将与CCAFS合作。林妮·沃伦伯格博士(CCAFS)将担任共同监管人。学生将使用基于过程的模型以及CCAFS数据和工具。该项目将涉及运行基于过程的模型和决策支持工具，并与荟萃分析的土壤碳变化数据进行比较。通过CCAFS，学生还将获得在CGIAR机构进行的大量实地试验的数据集，并将参观ICRAF的AfSIS团队、CIAT内罗毕的TSBF团队、IITA的土壤碳团队和CIAT哥伦比亚的牧场团队。学生身份将允许进一步探索模型和数据，而不是简单地评估GGR潜力--例如，它将允许利用模型/数据集充分探索生态系统服务的权衡，它将允许探索GGR的时间动态，将允许充分探索生物质替代用途之间的权衡。学生资格将允许学生在这一广泛的研究领域内进行好奇心驱动的研究，并将允许利用以前未被利用的模型和数据之间的协同效应，从而导致高影响力的出版物。

The studentship will focus on modelling soil greenhouse gas (GGR) removal options. The student will be based at University of Aberdeen and will partner with CCAFS. Dr Lini Wollenberg (CCAFS) will be a co-supervisor. The student will work with process-based models and with CCAFS data and tools. The project will involve running process-based models and decision support tools and comparing to soil carbon change data from meta-analyses. Through CCAFS, the student will also have access to a vast dataset of field trials carried out at CGIAR institutions, and will visit the AfSIS team at ICRAF, the TSBF team at CIAT Nairobi, the soil carbon team at IITA, and the pasture team at CIAT Colombia. The studentship will allow further exploration of the models and data than is necessary for simply assessing GGR potential - it will for example allow ecosystem service trade-offs to be fully explored with the models / datasets, it will allow the temporal dynamics of GGR to be explored and will allow trade-offs between alternative uses of biomass to be fully explored. The studentship will allow the student to pursue curiosity-driven research within this broad area of research, and will allow previously unexploited synergies between the models and data to be harnessed, leading to high impact publications.
