Fuelling forests, modelling nutrient cycling and projecting climate change

Join the Waterloo Climate Institute and the Faculty of Mathematics for a guest lecture on the intricacies of how nitrogen cycling is represented within Earth System Models. Sian Kou-Giesbrecht from the University of Dalhousie will explore how the terrestrial carbon sink needs nutrients such as nitrogen to fuel plant growth and continue to sequester carbon. Find out more about how this complex set of interactions plays out in terrestrial ecosystems.
