The northern permafrost region has been projected to shift from a net sink of greenhouse gases to a net source under global warming. However, annual permafrost region budgets of the main greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, and N2O) are highly uncertain. This post-doctoral researcher would work on using improved geospatial databases of permafrost landscapes in to improve assessments of monthly to annual greenhouse gas budgets of the permafrost region for the past decades and for future modeling.

The research contributes to the CALIPSO project funded under Schmidt Futures, European Space Agency AMPAC-Net project (www.ampac-net.info/) and assessment of the permafrost region greenhouse gas budgets carried out within the REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes-2 (RECCAP2) project (www.globalcarbonproject.org/reccap/).

Post-doc tasks
The main responsibilities of this position is the collection and use of different types of geodata for landscape mapping in support of broad-scale land surface modeling of permafrost landscapes. This includes working with time series of greenhouse gas and lateral fluxes as well as the use of remote sensing products and geospatial data for characterization of high-latitude landscape types.
