DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Baishali Dutta\, Department of Bioresource 
 Engineering\nAbout 10% of the 60 x 1012 kg-Carbon fixed annually through w
 orldwide photosynthetic activity ends up in agricultural residues. Through
  a heat-induced chemical conversion process such residues can be converted
  to biochar\, a form of carbon that can be employed as a soil amendment\, 
 thereby providing long-term storage of carbon in soil. In this application
  it has the ability to both reduce GHG emissions and enhance soil structur
 e\, moisture and nutrient retention\, thereby also addressing global food 
 security issues by improving soil fertility and crop yields. Dealing with 
 several aspects of carbon management and resulting mitigation of GHG emiss
 ions\, the current project sought to maximize biochar yield from microwave
 -assisted pyrolysis of maple (Acer L.) wood biomass.\nEveryone in the McGi
 ll community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in ce
 lebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.
