Project 2:
This project aims to evaluate and compare various carbon sequestration strategies within forest ecosystems. Through a detailed literature review, the student will investigate methods such as afforestation, reforestation, improved forestry management, and biochar application, assessing their carbon storage capabilities, impact on biodiversity, and feasibility. The analysis will focus on recent scientific findings to identify the most effective strategies for mitigating climate change through enhanced carbon sequestration.
The student will dedicate 3-5 hours per week gathering and analyzing scientific articles, reports, and case studies on carbon sequestration. The work includes identifying key strategies, evaluating their effectiveness based on current research, and understanding their ecological impacts. This comprehensive review will also consider the scalability of these methods and their potential long-term benefits and drawbacks.
The outcome of this project will be a research paper that presents a comparative analysis of carbon sequestration strategies, highlighting best practices and recommendations for policy and conservation efforts. The student will have the opportunity to present their findings at an academic symposium, aiming to contribute valuable insights to the field and potentially publish their work in a relevant environmental science journal.
