Department of Earth Science & Engineering Blog

Meet Andrianirina Rakotoharisoa, PhD candidate at the Department of Earth Science and Engineering (ESE) at Imperial. In this blog post, Adrianirina discusses his PhD journey at ESE so far, and how his work on monitoring CO2 emissions will hopefully contribute to more effective policy development in the future.

Describe your PhD project in a tweet:

I am trying to improve the monitoring of corporate greenhouse gas emissions by coupling satellite data with machine learning.

COP29 kicks off next week, and as global leaders prepare to gather in Azerbaijan, finding innovative solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change remains more crucial than ever. Here at Imperial’s Department of Earth Science and Engineering, PhD student Monica Mccall is working to better understand the production of biochar – a material that can help combat climate change by contributing to long-term carbon sequestration and improving soil health for more sustainable agriculture.

In this blog post, Monica explains how her innovative research – which involves applying geoscience techniques as part of new strategies within the biochar field – could help pave the way for a more sustainable future for our planet.
