💼JOB OPPORTUNITIES“About the Project:Marine ecosystems play a key role in regulating the Earth's climate. Marine ecosystems live largely at the ocean’s surface. Their activities generate a flux of carbon between the ocean surface and the deep ocean, so-called export flux, that modulates atmospheric CO2 in the long-term. The most recent global observations reveal that the bulk distribution of plankton populations tends to become more patchy with increasing size of micro-organisms. This suggests a change from small organisms such as picophytoplankton forming a constant background biomass, to large organisms such as jellyfish going through bloom and bust cycles (Buitenhuis et al 2013). Yet, even the most complex models (Le Quéré et al 2016) fail to reproduce the observed increasing patchiness.”
“The Agroecology group at the University of California Davis lead by Dr Gaudin is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join their team in investigating the impacts of orchard diversification via livestock grazing on soil ecology, nutrient cycling, and stress resilience. Grazing of orchard understories provides an opportunity to address common management challenges associated with nutrient cycling in organic systems, but significant knowledge gaps remain in understanding shifts in nitrogen provision and retention and impacts on soil ecology and functions regulating the sustainability and resilience of these systems. Your mission will be to lead research characterizing outcomes on soil ecosystems and work closely with an interdisciplinary team of scientists evaluating food safety risks, pest suppression potential, and cost-benefits of grazing in organic orchard systems.The successful candidate will be funded through a USDA-OREI grant and engage in research and outreach activities related to the development of agroforestry and integrated crop-livestock systems in California. The candidate will be based at UC Davis and will design and coordinate all aspects of on-farm experimentation in partnership with orchard crop growers across the Central Valley. A large part of the mission will be to collect and analyze soils to gain a better understanding of N and C dynamics to inform nutrient management, examine potential tradeoffs for other soil health metrics, and execute controlled laboratory studies manipulating warming and/or drought using soils and plants from different field sites. You will join a dynamic team of scholars and engage in shared lab management tasks and mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students.”

These are the same mines that are producing the minerals (nickel, for example) necessary for the transition to a clean energy future.”
🎙️PODCASTS“What exactly is the future of carbon removal? What is the role of government, and why is the need for industry collaboration key to driving its success? And how can an all-hands-on-deck approach help to achieve ambitious climate goals by 2030?Giana Amador, Executive Director of the Carbon Removal Alliance, joins Nick to discuss all of the above as well as the importance of policy, infrastructure, and workforce development in reaching gigaton-scale carbon removal.Find out how the Carbon Removal Alliance is bridging the gap between the private sector and federal policymakers to accelerate the adoption of carbon removal.Giana also shares insights into the growth of the carbon removal industry and emphasizes the importance of integrating community benefit considerations into industry development while highlighting the challenges of measuring and verifying carbon removal and the need for robust monitoring, reporting, and verification systems.”
U.S. Government Becomes a CDR Buyer | Carbon Removal Newsroom | U.S. Government Becomes a CDR Buyer Carbon Removal Newsroom 33:26 |
“A few weeks ago, the US government announced it would directly purchase carbon removal. The Department of Energy released news of a $35 million fund to procure CDR credits. The prize fund will take the form of offtake agreements and cover four pathways.More and more governments are funding CDR pilots, supporting research, and adding CDR targets to their climate plans. CDR has quickly entered an era of widespread support throughout North America and Europe.But while the support is wide, it is also shallow; most policies take the form of modest grants or targets, with a few more ambitious countries leading the way.Many CDR commentators have come to the conclusion that without a compliance market, carbon removal won’t ever scale up.On this episode we asked our policy panel about recent government actions on CDR: will they work, are they enough, and what more needs to be done? Are today’s policies sufficient to get us where we need to go?Radhika is joined by Wil Burns, Co-Executive Director of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy at American University, and Holly Jean Buck, Assistant Professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University at Buffalo.”

"4 PER 1000" SOIL CARBON SCIENCE WEBINAR SERIES #2: The Often Unaccounted Yet Irrecoverable Carbon | 4p1000 Initiative "4 PER 1000" PRESENTS SOIL CARBON SCIENCE WEBINAR SERIES #2: Soil Inorganic Carbon (SIC) contributes to the environment. Despite its significance in the global carbon pool and role in climate regulation, SIC has received less attention than soil organic carbon (SOC). Recent findings challenge the notion of SIC's negligible contribution to the global carbon cycle, revealing its susceptibility to climate change and agricultural practices. Understanding. This webinar features esteemed experts Dr. Kazem Zamanian and Dr. Iñigo Virto Quecedo delving into the under-explored world of SIC and its implications for soil resilience and global changes.”
