- and post-restoration; quantification of soil carbon stocks through the collection of soil cores; use and upkeep of an automated GHG analyzer (Gasmet GT5000) and autochamber system;
- Analyze data using statistical software and other tools to measure greenhouse gas emission rates, assess carbon accumulation rates and measure carbon stocks;
- Reporting, editing, and compiling up-to-date project data and knowledge transfer with project partners, government officials, the MRFW Project Manager and TCA members;
- Prepare data for submission to ECCC and National Inventory Report (as needed);
- Collaborate with the project team to integrate carbon accounting data into project planning and decision-making processes;

- Potential to develop and lead an independent research program;
- Participate in project meetings and workshops, and engage with stakeholders and partners as needed;
- Other duties as required.

**PROFILE**
