About
How can understanding soil processes help reduce greenhouse gas emissions? 🌱 Join Dr. Saadat Malghani, a soil biogeochemist in UC Riverside’s Department of Environmental Sciences, where he will present “Tracing the Origins of Soil N2O: Linking Sources, Nitrogen Transformation and Mitigation.” 🗓️ Wednesday, November 4, 2026 | ⏰ 2:00–3:00 PM | 📍 Hybrid, CE-CERT Room 105 & Zoom 🔗 Join Zoom Meeting ID: 95977578893 ; Passcode: 579513 Dr. Malghani will explore how soils produce nitrous oxide (N₂O), a potent greenhouse gas, and how understanding these processes can help reduce emissions. His research uses methods including stable-isotope tracing to identify the sources of N₂O and examine how soil management practices, such as biochar and organic nutrient inputs, can influence nitrogen cycling and emissions. All are welcome! #SoilScience #GreenhouseGasEmissions #EnvironmentalScience #UCREngineering #BCOE
