This week I got my hands on a dataset, provided by my supervisor, to begin with the task of estimating the GHG emissions from two rice growing areas of Vietnam using the two calculators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first step is to test out both calculators to ensure the units all fit and the results I get are close to the same! At this point in the week my brain is a bit fried from trying to match the units, which is clear from my little GWP for dummies diagram here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crunching numbers isn’t the part of science everyone is jumping to hear about but, alas, it needs to be done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if all this data-talk is getting a little dry, here’s a handsome lizard that joined us for lunch on Monday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This week also saw the completion of the first full draft of my literature review! With that weight off my shoulders for now I can’t wait to do what I’ve been dying to do since arriving… <\/p>\n\n\n\n Adventure time in Hanoi!
