Current global models of the carbon (C) cycle consider only vertical gas exchanges between terrestrial or oceanic reservoirs and the atmosphere, thus not considering lateral transport of carbon from the continents to the oceans. Therefore, those models implicitly consider that all the C which is not respired to the atmosphere is stored on land, hen...
The leaching of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from soils to the river network is an overlooked component of the terrestrial soil C budget. Measurements of DOC concentrations in soil, runoff and drainage are scarce and their spatial distribution highly skewed towards industrialized countries. The contribution of terrestrial DOC leaching to the glob...
Peatlands have often been neglected in Earth system models (ESMs).
Where they are included, they are usually represented via a separate, prescribed grid cell fraction that is given the physical characteristics of a peat (highly organic) soil. However, in reality soils vary on a spectrum between purely mineral soil (no organic material) and purely o...
Most land surface models (LSMs), i.e. the land components of Earth system models
(ESMs), include representation of nitrogen (N) limitation on ecosystem
productivity. However, only a few of these models have incorporated phosphorus
(P) cycling. In tropical ecosystems, this is likely to be important as N
tends to be abundant, whereas the availability...
The CO2 efflux from soil (soil respiration (SR)) is one of the largest fluxes in the global carbon (C) cycle and its response to climate change could strongly influence future atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Still, a large divergence of global SR estimates and its autotrophic (AR) and heterotrophic (HR) components exists among process based terrest...
Most Land Surface Models (LSMs), the land components of Earth system models (ESMs), include representation of N limitation on ecosystem productivity. However only few of these models have incorporated phosphorus (P) cycling. In tropical ecosystems, this is likely to be particularly important as N tends to be abundant but the availability of rock-de...

This research is focused on developing landslide susceptibility, risk and management zonation map in the Ilam dam basin, in the west of Iran. For this purpose, all existent landslide locations in the basin (50 landslides) were registered using GPS device and 70% of these points (35 landslides) were used for landslide susceptibility modeling and the...

ForestNavigator aims at assessing the climate mitigation potential of European forests and forest-based sectors through modelling of policy pathways, consistent with the best standards of LULUCF reporting, and informing the public authorities on the most suitable approach to forest policy and bioeconomy.
With a primarily European scope, ForestNavigator zooms into carefully selected EU Member States to enhance the consistency of the EU and national pathways, but the project also zooms out towards the global scale, and selected key EU trading partners, accounting for extra-EU future drivers and potential leakage effects.

I am currently working as a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher (PhD) based at University of Exeter. The aim of my project is to model the Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) leaching from soil to river system in JULES model.
