Role at Tyndall

Dr Naomi Vaughan - Geoengineering Naomi is a Senior Research Associate and Project Manager for the Integrated Assessment of Geoengineering Proposals (www.iagp.ac.uk). Her PhD thesis on the subject of climate change mitigation and geoengineering included an extensive review of the literature (submitted to Climatic Change) on geoengineering proposals and provides a synthesis of the major issues and specifically how they interact with mitigation. Lenton & Vaughan [2009] was the first paper to calculate the potential maximum effectiveness of the range of published geoengineering proposals in terms of radiative forcing. Nem is also the Co-ordinator for the GeoEngineering Assessment and Research (GEAR) initiative at the University of East Anglia (www.gear.uea.ac.uk).

PhD Studentship: Land Availability for Greenhouse Gas Removal by Afforestation and Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)

January 1, 2018

To meet the aspirations of the UNFCCC Paris Climate Agreement, future scenarios assume the large-scale use of afforestation and biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). In this directly-funded NERC PhD you will critically assess the land use and residue stream assumptions used in future scenarios.

PhD Studentship: Land Availability for Greenhouse Gas Removal by Afforestation and Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)

January 1, 2018

To meet the aspirations of the UNFCCC Paris Climate Agreement to limit increases of global mean temperature to well below 2°C, future scenarios assume the large-scale use of afforestation and biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere .In this directly-funded NERC PhD you will critically assess the land use and residue stream assumptions used in future scenarios.
