Research Associate in Atmospheric Chemistry Modelling of Soil Microbial Emissions

Academic Posting

Nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) play a central role in the atmospheric chemistry controlling the removal of emitted gases and the production of secondary pollutants. Understanding NOx emissions both now and into the future is therefore essential if we are to tackle environmental challenges such as air pollution, climate and acid deposition. Recent studies have suggested that heavily fertilised agricultural soils could now be a major source of NOx, but current emissions inventories appear to vastly underestimate these emissions. As part of a recently funded project bringing together experts in biogeochemistry and atmospheric chemistry, this PDRA position will use the most comprehensive dataset to-date on the drivers of soil NOx production to develop a process-based model parameterisation of these emissions.
