This course will include lecture-based introductory presentations about land carbon science and modeling. After each unit lecture, there will be topic-related literature (classic paper) discussion led by the attendees (either individual or group presentation, depending on class size).
Unit Topics (Tentative):
- Land carbon cycle and its response to climate change – key concepts and mechanisms
- Global land carbon cycle modeling
- Land as a solution to climate change? I - vegetation
- Land as a solution to climate change? I - soil
- AI in land carbon cycle – fundamentals and applications
- AI in land carbon cycle – demystify black-boxes for mechanistic understanding
