DNDC) followed by simulation scenarios aimed at assessing the impact of climate-smart soil practices on carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions for different regions of Canada. This research will be conducted within a collaborative program targeted
at graduate student training and involving seven universities and collaborating partners form various sectors (e.g. industry, government) across Canada. The successful applicant will be expected to mentor to graduate students within this program and will have
