[Enviro-lunch] TODAY Enviro-lunch (5/4, new location: SE2-390): Mathew Jian, "Mechanism of exposing physically-protected soil organic carbon to decomposition by breakdown of soil aggregates during low-intensity burns"

[Fernanda Santos]

Dear all,

Please support our community in Earth and environmental sciences by
attending our weekly events. This week's speaker in our Enviro-lunch brown
bag seminar series will be:

*Mathew Jian*

(Ghezzehei lab)


*Mechanism of exposing physically-protected soil organic carbon to
decomposition by breakdown of soil aggregates during low-intensity burns*




Moist soil aggregates have previously been shown to degrade when exposed to
rapid temperature rise during low-intensity burns. This is due to stress
that is applied to soil aggregates by rapidly vaporized water within the
soil aggregates. In this study, I explore how breakup of soil aggregates by
such mechanism may expose previously physically protected soil organic
carbon to decomposition.

Where:* SE2-390*

When: Tomorrow, Thursday (May 4th, from 12-1:30PM)



We look forward to seeing you,


Organizers for 2016-17: Rebecca Abney and Fernanda Santos

Faculty coordinator: Asmeret Asefaw Berhe
