'Fire dynamics and carbon cycling of miombo woodlands'
with Mat Williams and Casey Ryan
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...From http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/homes/cryan/miombo/
