novel techniques – rare earth element tracers for soil erosion, and LiDAR
(Ground-based & Unmanned Aerial Systems) for soil microtopography and
vegetation structure – to monitor landscape responses to fires (2)
environmental impacts (e.g. soil hydrologic properties, aerosol emissions)
of large-scale biochar application. Opportunities will also be
provided for collaborating
in other ongoing projects and developing independent projects. Additional
information about ongoing research projects can be found at
