Postdoc (m/f/d) in assessment of climate forcing impact of CDR measures using IAM data and Earth system modelling

Deadline: 1st July 2022

The research unit Marine Biogeochemistry of the research division Biogeochemical Modelling (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel) is offering a postdoc position. The postdoc will utilise integrated assessment modelling data and newest literature findings of emerging Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) measures to conduct life cycle assessments of the complete forcing footprints of currently proposed CDR measures. The assessment includes greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions and other climate forcing impacts of CDR measures. Using this forcing data, the climate forcing footprints of the CDR measures are estimated using an Earth system model of intermediate complexity. Assessing the overall climate impact of CDR measures over time allows us to understand their overall efficacy and their ability to compensate other anthropogenic activities.
