I wasn't thinking of anything too morbid. I minored in chemistry so I'm open to something like that. I work with animals so I like the idea of factoring them into it somehow but I can't figure out how to put it all together
ive been meticulously planning a water treatment plant to heat treat P/H20 then cool it completely automated, and half of my P/H20 supply is germ free anyway... sweet jesus its a bitter sweet eureka moment... all those colonies, all those dupes, 1 mistake has been taxing my water supply forever.
Basically the title. Thanks!
Department Forest Ecosyst & Society (FOR)
Position Title Assistant Professor
Job Title Assistant Professor for Forest Carbon Cycle Science
Appointment Type Academic Teaching/Research Faculty
Job Location Corvallis
Position Appointment Percent 100
Appointment Basis 9
Faculty Status Regular
Tenure Status Tenure Track (Annual)
Pay Method Salary
The Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society invites applications for a full-time (1.0 FTE), 9-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor with a focus on Forest Carbon Cycle Science.
The carbon cycle is at the heart of the climate crisis currently facing our planet, and so it is important to build knowledge and understanding of this domain to inform decisions that will impact social and ecological systems. We believe the most important advances will come through integration of diverse perspectives, methods, and data. The Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society, in OSU’s College of Forestry, is a highly diverse unit where scholars and educators from across social and biophysical disciplines address issues of conservation and sustainability. We aspire to create an environment in which all members of the community feel safe, respected, and free to participate in the undertakings of the college. We embrace equity, inclusion, and diversity as foundational values of OSU and as pillars of excellence, enhancing all of our missions and welcome all applicants, including those who have had non-traditional career paths, who have taken time off, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
The faculty member in this position will teach in our campus-based graduate programs, our multi-disciplinary undergraduate Bachelor of Science program in Natural Resources, and our on-line professional graduate certificate program in Forests and Climate Change; they will mentor undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers.
The faculty member in this position will conduct research that fundamentally improves our basic and applied understanding of the carbon cycle in relation to forests. Potential research areas for this position could include forest carbon-climate feedbacks, biodiversity-carbon cycle interactions and global change, ecological disturbance-carbon relationships, and carbon cycling through above- and below-ground processes. Preferred candidates will have expertise in forest carbon cycle science and employ a variety of methods, for example ecosystem-a

I only see this statistic in one study from 2014. (https://www.scholars.northwestern.edu/en/publications/domestic-and-overseas-manufacturing-scenarios-of-silicon-based-ph).
So what I want to know is, does anyone have a better picture of the true difference in embodied carbon between a low-carbon solar panel versus a traditional panel manufactured abroad? What is the difference in the operation time to become carbon neutral between the two different panels? And how does this correlate with life cycle greenhouse gas emissions?
Lastly, can the current supply chain in America support large-scale low-carbon solar deployment?
Nice!!
"By putting water first, the carbon problem and the warming problem will be solved as well" - Charles Eisenstein in his book "Climate" on why we should focus climate actions on the water cycle https://charleseisenstein.org/books/climate-a-new-story/eng/a-different-lens/
The water cycle affects where the rains are, where the floods are, how hydrated the soils become, where vegetation grows, where animals live and survive, and how the oceans absorb heat. There are many natural permacultural actions we can do to affect rains and floods.
I would have asked in the thread relating to climate change but those not directly affiliated with the GOP are no longer allowed to make top level comments.
Do you "believe" in the carbon cycle? If so, do you think we're disrupting it to a degree (insignificant/significant)?
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)
> Decaying wood releases around 10.9 gigatons of carbon worldwide every year, according to a new study by an international team of scientists.
> Says it's the first time researchers have been able to quantify the contribution of deadwood to the global carbon cycle.
> "We knew insects such as termites and wood-boring Longicorn beetles can accelerate deadwood decomposition," study co-author Dr. Marisa Stone from Griffith University said.
> "Insects accounted for 29% of deadwood carbon release each year. However, their role was disproportionately greater within the tropics and had little effect in regions of low temperatures."
> Tropical forests contribute 93 percent of all carbon released by deadwood, due to their high wood mass and rapid rates of decomposition.
> "This study has demonstrated that both climate change and the loss of insects have the potential to alter the decomposition of wood, and therefore, carbon and nutrient cycles worldwide."
