#18 Sarah: Greenhouse gas emissions from the Greenland Ice Sheet
Sarah Sapper is a PhD student at the University of Copenhagen studying methane and carbon dioxide emissions in meltwater from below the Greenland Ice Sheet. Department and group: Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management Supervisors: Jesper Riis Christiansen and Christian Juncher Jørgensen Dissertation title (as for now :D) Diurnal and seasonal dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions from subglacial meltwater of the Greenland Ice Sheet Some terms: Glacier: a body of ice moving down-slope due to gravity Warm glaciers: are very thick – the pressure of the overlying ice causes melting at the base of the glacier Cold glacier: thinner ice, the pressure of the ice doesn’t suffice to melt…

#10 Louis: Soil microbial responses to land use change
How do changes in land use and plant community affect the activity of soil microbes and their carbon use efficiency? Louis Dufour is a PhD student at the Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SLU). He conducts field experiments to see how microbial communities in the soil respond to changes in plant communities in terms of their activity and carbon turn-over. Department & Group: Department of Soil and Environment, Group of Nutrient Cycling, SLU Supervisors: Anke M. Herrmann, Johanna Wetterlind, Martin Weih, Stefano Manzoni, Naoise Nunan Dissertation title (as for now 😀) Responses of microbial physiology to changes in land management: a bioenergetics approach Topic – in brief Testing whether changes…
