'Fire dynamics and carbon cycling of miombo woodlands' with Mat Williams and Casey Ryan From http://www.fibronot.nl/images/Miombo_Woodland_in_District_Kilwa2.jpg
Who am I? • I'm Sam • I've studied Natural Sciences and Remote Sensing • I'm currently working in UCL's Remote Sensing Unit.
…and what am I doing here? • Investigating carbon cycling in miombo woodlands in Tanzania • Heavily disturbed due to agriculture, fuelwood and timber extraction, and fires • This PhD aims to quantify the effect of fires, and suggest how improved management could increase carbon stocks • Start with fire maps...
