Soil Carbon: Climate Solutions Right Under Our Feet

Save the date and Join Dr Samantha Grover at the Soil Carbon: Climate Solutions Right Under Our Feet event on Thursday 12 November 2020 from 7-8.30pm. This is a FREE online event that explores the possibility of reversing climate change, increase biodiversity and feed everyone. Dr Grover will be looking at the possibilities of soil carbon. From microbial processes to global policy settings, she will discuss -

  • how carbon moves from the atmosphere into soils

  • how land management can increase or decrease the stores of carbon in our soils

  • how we as food consumers can adjust the settings in our food systems to help achieve net zero emissions in our lifetimes.

With examples from the Soil-Atmosphere-Anthroposphere Lab's research, you'll virtually visit Melbourne backyards, Australian agricultural landscapes, Victoria's beloved Alpine National Park and our northern neighbour Indonesia's high carbon peat soils, shining a light on the fascinating secrets of soil carbon underground.
Tune in via the Royal Society of Victoria's Facebook Live site and head to the event page for more details about the event, and about Dr Grover. This is a joint presentation by the Royal Society of Victoria and Soil Science Australia, part of the RSV's 2020 contribution to the Inspiring Victoria program.

You'll find lots of very interesting and educational past live videos here.
