YCNCC researchers will be actively representing the Center at this year’s American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, sharing new findings relating to enhanced weathering, ecosystem carbon cycling, marine carbon dioxide removal, and more.
As one highlight, YCNCC Co-Director Professor Pete Raymond will present his talk, Controls on Methane Emissions from Lakes: Evidence From a Process-Based Model. His research explores the physical and biogeochemical factors influencing methane fluxes from lake systems, a critical component of global greenhouse gas budgets.
In addition, YCNCC Postdoctoral Fellow Tim Jesper Surhoff will chair a three-part session on Enhanced Weathering for Carbon Dioxide Removal and Improved Soil Agronomic Properties, convening researchers advancing this promising climate and soil-health solution.
