Future Blue Carbon Scenarios Postdoctoral Associate Position
Post-docs
11 June 2024
Project context and Goals: Climate change is rapidly altering the planet, and solutions are urgently required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit further warming. Meeting Canada’s increased GHG emissions-reductions targets requires an accounting of all mitigation options, including Canada’s natural ocean carbon sinks. In coastal oceans, blue carbon ecosystems (salt marshes, seagrass meadows, kelp forests) sequester carbon from the atmosphere and ocean and store it in biomass and sediments. In Canada, uncertainty aboutocean carbon reservoirs has hindered inclusion of these resources in our climate solutions portfolio, and prevented local jurisdictions from considering these benefits in decision-making processes. The primary...
