The question that always follows the polite smile and nod from my family and friends when they ask what I’m doing in Vietnam! Alternate wetting and drying, or AWD, is a practice in irrigation to reduce water inputs and GHG emission outputs in rice growing (Carrijo et al., 2017). Rice is a hugely important crop ...
Colomb et al., 2013’s decision process for selecting a GHG emissions calculator. There are so many tools out there for assessing GHG emissions, so a concise way of selecting the best one for your purpose is vital. Colomb et al., published a research letter back in 2013 that provided a framework to guide users in ...
Between settling into the office in IRRI, adjusting to the culture shock and house hunting everything has been rather hectic since my arrival on Tuesday. The new week is setting off on the right foot! The meeting among NUIG thesis students last Friday to discuss potential synergies between projects was a great chance to see ...
So at long last, I am in Hanoi! It was a long journey yesterday wherein I was awake for almost 26 hours, experienced jet-lag for the first time, learned I’m am pretty good at crossing roads in the chaos, and mopeds are driven on footpaths too… 😂 I am now settling in at my desk ...
Two weeks away from travelling to Hanoi, I am relaxing in the vastly different West Cork working on my literature review. Making my way through the overarching topics I drew from my topic title: Agriculture (rice production) in Vietnam GHG emission measuring tools and technologies Mitigation options for reducing Vietnam’s GHG emissions Alternate wetting and ...
It’s time to pack my bags and leave the continent of Europe for the first time! I will be spending my summer with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Hanoi, Vietnam. There I will be studying greenhouse gas (GHG) emission monitoring tools and mitigation technologies to reduce such GHG emissions from Vietnam’s agricultural sector. ...
Just want to start the ball rolling with a little information into what motivated me to take on this kind of project in Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security. 😊 This year environmental issues (mainly related to climate change) are heavily featured in the 2019 Global Risks Report; accounting for three of the top five ...
