Amazon PyroCarbon Project Officially Launched!

default

We are pleased to announce the start of the Amazon PyroCarbon project. This major international collaboration, involving researchers from the UK, Brazil, Peru, and Australia, will seek to answer one of the biggest open questions in climate science: what happens to the vast stores of carbon in Amazonian soils in response to fire? Our team will combine field, lab, and modelling work to quantify these changes.
