Job Purpose

Climate Change impacts rice production through exacerbated and more frequent climate extremes. At the same time rice fields are a large emitter of greenhouse gasses while technologies that reduce the carbon footprint in rice fields have significant differences of impacts among rice ecosystems. The greenhouse gas emission (GHGE) from rice fields has large spatial and temporal variations because of the small heterogeneities in biophysics environments and agronomic management. It is a big challenge to estimate the GHGE from rice fields up to regional, national, and global scales. Moreover, there is limited information in the global reduction potentials of GHGE associated with appropriately improved agronomic management practices. Working with various national and international partners, data cross global rice production is expected to be collected for a reliable analysis on the estimation of global total GHGE and reduction potentials. This task needs a concerted approach... More Detail
