There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Debjani SihiPredicting Soil Organic Matter and Greenhouse Gas Emissions using State-of-art Biogeochemical and Machine Learning Models
I am a biogeochemist and ecosystem ecologist with a broad research interest in soil organic matter dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions from natural and managed ecosystems. The fate of land-atmosphere exchange of CO2, CH4, and N2O remains uncertain under current and future climate, partly due to our limited understanding of belowground processes. I address these critical knowledge gaps by coupling subsurface soil process measurements with surface chamber fluxes and landscape-scale fluxes to allow the scaling-up of process-based (and data-driven) models and soil-flux measurements to the ecosystem scale.
In this talk, I will explore existing theories of biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics to advance understanding and prediction of biogeochemical feedbacks in terrestrial systems using case studies ranging from the tropics to sub-boreal ecosystems.
