Modelling Peatland Disturbance/Conversion in Alberta Project Overview

This research is designed to:

• Establish a baseline for peatland disturbance rates, unveiling the expected trajectory for Alberta.
• Delve into the intricate relationship between peatland types, disturbances, and carbon emissions.
• Identify and quantify the principal drivers of peatland disturbance (economic, policy, social) and project changes in peatland dynamics under different scenarios.
• Examine the economic viability of peatland conservation initiatives.
• Share valuable policy insights for optimizing peatland management in Alberta and Canada.

Applications should encompass a CV, academic transcripts, a description of previous research experiences in environmental/agricultural economics, and three reference letters.
