Ryan (and me) are hiring a PhD student! Sweden is a great country to do a PhD, see the link or ask us for more details, or share with potential students!
👀 Organic carbon weathering as an amplifier of climate warming 183 million years ago: “Weathering of sedimentary carbon-bearing rocks, such as shales, can emit significant quantities of CO2, causing temperatures to rise and further weathering to occur” ⚒️🧪

These soils, which millions of people in the region depend on, are estimated to have only a ~150 year "lifespan" under current land-use.

I really enjoyed collaborating on this study lead by Laura Summerauer (now @ FiBL) that showed rapid degradation of soils following deforestation in Eastern Congo. Corroborates what we observed measuring DOC age in rivers draining the same impacted landscapes.

Two major humic lakes in the Congo Basin are emitting ancient carbon from nearby peatlands into the atmosphere, reports a study in Nature Geoscience. These findings challenge the prevailing understanding that CO2 emissions from pristine humic lakes are derived from modern, rapidly cycling carbon. 🌍🧪

Two major humic lakes in the Congo Basin emit ancient carbon from nearby peatlands into the atmosphere, as shown by the isotopic signatures of their carbon pools.
One-third of growth-season rainfall in the Amazon comes from evaporation from trees. When forests are cleared for soybeans, rainfall declines, potentially reducing soybean yields and creating a feedback loop that could drive further land clearance. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/2TlF50ZbTqf
