for a position investigating Climate Impacts of Kelp Halocarbon Emissions. The scholar will (1) estimate potential halocarbon emissions from intensive kelp aquaculture, and (2) use CESM2-WACCM6, a state-of-the-art Earth system model, to assess the global
warming and ozone depletion potential of intensive kelp aquaculture. For the latter, the postdoctoral scholar will implement and validate iodo-carbon and bromo-carbon chemistry in CESM2-WACCM6. This work is part of a larger project on the blue carbon potential
of Canada’s coastal marine ecosystems, including kelp forests.</span></p>
