This presentation was presented during the 1 Parallel session on Theme 3.3, Managing SOC in: Dryland soils, of the Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon that took place in Rome 21-23 March 2017. The presentation was made by Ms. Tiphaine Chevallier, from IRD – USA, in FAO Hq, Rome
This document summarizes a case study of soil cleanup at a utility pole storage site contaminated with dioxin. An initial investigation found widespread dioxin exceedances but the extent was unclear due to inconsistent sampling methods. A new investigation using a grid sampling approach and less expensive analytical testing found that dioxin contamination was concentrated in two areas. Targeted excavation and confirmatory sampling following these results allowed for an 18% cost savings compared to the previous iterative approach. The case study demonstrates the value of a well-designed sampling plan for accurately defining contamination.
Ambient Temperature Changes and the Impart to Time Measurement Errorvogrizovic
This document summarizes an experiment that tested the impact of ambient temperature changes on time measurement error. The experiment found that clock bias is strongly dependent on temperature, with biases ranging from -0.033 to 0.006 seconds per hour over temperatures from 0 to 21 degrees Celsius. Maintaining stable environmental conditions is important for precise time measurements. The linear clock model was suitable for shorter measurement sessions as temperature varied.
Near surface gas monitoring at the CO2 Field Lab, Norway - presentation by Sarah Hannis in the Test Injection Sites session at the UKCCSRC Cardiff Biannual Meeting, 10-11 September 2014
This document discusses climate change mitigation through carbon removal techniques like biochar production and sequestration. It notes that emission reductions alone will not be enough to stabilize atmospheric CO2 levels and avoid climate tipping points. Producing biochar from biomass and burying it can sequester carbon for thousands of years, providing a complementary approach. Models are proposed where farmers could be paid through a carbon sequestration fund for producing and storing biochar, incentivizing its widespread adoption.
Isotope hydrology uses naturally occurring isotopes and tracers to understand hydrological processes like recharge rates and mechanisms, surface water and groundwater interactions, and pollution sources. Key applications include determining the origin and flow of water, and characteristics of aquifers. Environmental isotopes like hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and radiogenic isotopes provide information over large spatial and temporal scales. Measurements of isotope ratios in water samples using mass spectrometry can reveal the origin and movement of groundwater and identify contamination sources. Isotope techniques are effective hydrological tools that provide insights not obtainable by other methods and are important for managing water resources.
The document discusses the tracer technique, which involves incorporating radioactive isotopes into plant metabolites to trace biosynthetic pathways. It defines the technique and explains that radioactive isotopes like carbon-14 and hydrogen-3 are commonly used. The summary describes some key applications of the technique, like tracing the pathway from phenylalanine to the cyanogenic glycoside prunasin, and determining the location and quantity of compounds containing a radioactive tracer like glucose. It also lists some requirements for the technique, such as using a sufficient starting concentration of the tracer and ensuring it is involved in the relevant synthesis reactions.

This document provides an overview of the global carbon cycle and the role of inland waters. It discusses carbon pools and fluxes at different time scales, from the modern perturbed cycle to pre-anthropocene, glacial-interglacial, and Earth's history. The key role of the ocean in regulating atmospheric CO2 levels over the past 10,000 years is explained through calculations showing that net heterotrophy in the ocean could account for the required imbalance. Links between the carbon and oxygen cycles through geological time are also briefly outlined.
On soil carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change: potentials and drawb...SIANI
Carbon sequestration in soils has potential to mitigate climate change but also drawbacks. While increasing soil organic carbon could be considered sequestration, it must result in a net transfer of carbon from the atmosphere to land. Options to sequester carbon include converting arable land to grassland or forest, but this may displace agriculture elsewhere. Maintaining or increasing soil carbon through reduced tillage, cover crops or organic amendments provides other benefits but may not genuinely sequester new carbon. Overall, too much focus on soil carbon risks neglecting larger climate threats, and priorities should be good land stewardship and integrated solutions.
Thermal oxidation is a process used to grow silicon dioxide films on silicon substrates. It involves heating silicon in an oxygen-containing environment to form a stable silicon-dioxide layer. The growth rate of the oxide layer follows a Deal-Grove model based on diffusion and reaction kinetics. While this model accurately describes thicker oxide growth, additional terms are needed to model the initially faster growth rate of very thin oxides. The oxidation rate depends on factors like temperature, oxidizing ambient, crystal orientation, and dopant concentration.
- Maize was first cultivated in Portugal between 1515-1525 and initiated an agricultural revolution in the Minho region by transforming the landscape with new terraces and irrigation systems. This increased maize production and allowed the local population to grow.
- Nowadays, the traditional practice of manuring fields with livestock waste is being abandoned, decreasing soil organic matter and increasing erosion. As a result, water retention, biodiversity, and fire resistance of the landscape are at risk.
- The document examines composting the solid fraction of dairy cattle slurry as an alternative to traditional manuring methods. Several experiments tested different pile sizes, moisture contents, bulking materials, and aeration. Tall piles with materials like straw
Carbon capture and storage has the potential to allow continued use of fossil fuels while mitigating climate change. It involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from large point sources like power plants, compressing and transporting the CO2 via pipeline, and injecting it into deep geological formations for long-term storage. While the technology is possible with current science, large-scale demonstration projects are still needed to reduce costs and prove safety and effectiveness. If a policy framework creates incentives to reduce carbon emissions, carbon capture and storage at the scale of the oil and gas industry could cost around $1 trillion annually but help achieve climate goals.

While the technology is possible with current knowledge, large-scale implementation faces challenges of high costs estimated at $1 trillion per year globally, an incomplete legal framework, and open questions about safety and permanent storage that require further study. Pilot projects demonstrate the technical feasibility of capturing CO2 and storing it underground, like the Sleipner gas field in Norway that has stored over 1 million tons of CO2 annually since 1996.

1) Accelerated weathering of limestone has the potential to store large volumes of carbon dioxide by increasing alkalinity in the oceans, but questions remain about environmental impacts and stability of stored carbon.
2) Laboratory experiments and geochemical modeling show that limestone dissolution rates and carbon dioxide uptake can be modeled and are dependent on factors like surface area, water volume, temperature, and gas-liquid interface.
3) At an industrial scale, accelerated weathering of limestone would require very large reactor volumes, on the order of 105-106 m3, to sequester a million tons of carbon dioxide per year.
This document discusses the measurement standards for carbon dioxide and carbonate system variables at ICOS ocean observation stations. It finds that to meet the long-term "climate goal" of assessing trends with confidence, measurements are needed to directly observe variables like dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity within certain uncertainty thresholds, rather than calculating them from other variables. Using two variables to indirectly calculate a third, like calculating fCO2 from pH and another variable, results in greater uncertainties than desired, especially for the shorter-term "weather goal" of characterizing patterns and variability. Direct measurement is preferable to calculation for achieving ICOS's observation precision goals.
This document summarizes a study measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) flux from Irish grasslands to determine their potential as carbon sinks. The study found that a grassland site in Cork sequestered 1.2 tons of carbon per hectare per year in soil, making it a carbon sink for 8 months annually. However, interannual sequestration varied significantly between 2.2 to 3.7 tons of carbon per hectare per year. While lower than forestry, preliminary results suggest Irish grasslands may provide opportunities for carbon sequestration through soil storage.
Plein gaz : enjeux et perspectives sur la valorisation du CO2 | LIEGE CREATIV...Nancy BOVY
La réduction des émissions de CO2 est une priorité dans la transition énergétique mondiale.
Parmi les pistes envisagées, la capture et réutilisation du CO2 offre d’intéressants avantages tels que la flexibilité de ses solutions et la maturité technique élevée pour plusieurs d’entre elles.
Vu le faible coût du carbone en Europe, le déploiement de ces technologies reste lent mais la valorisation du CO2 comme matière première peut améliorer leur rentabilité.
Capturer, stocker et utiliser le CO2 représentent de nombreux enjeux ! Pour répondre à ces défis, la plateforme FRITCO2T (Federation of Researchers in Innovative Technologies for CO2 Transformation) a vu le jour à l'Université de Liège en regroupant les expertises complémentaires de 4 laboratoires actifs dans des secteurs aussi divers que la pharmacie, les matériaux de construction, les polymères ou le génie chimique.
Cette soirée aura pour but de présenter les activités de la plateforme qui propose une offre de recherche et développement pour la ré-utilisation de CO2 via de nombreuses voies : synthèse de carburants ou de plastiques, utilisation de CO2 comme solvant notamment dans le secteur pharma, carbonatation de matériaux de construction…

Effect of organic content on carbonation rate of cement stabilised soilsReza Gholilou
1) Carbonation is a chemical reaction between cement compounds (calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate) and carbon dioxide that leads to deterioration of cement-stabilized soils in pavements over time.
2) Tests show that carbonation causes a loss of cement products, decrease in pH and strength, and microcracking that can result in pavement distress.
3) The rate of carbonation depends on factors like cement content, moisture level, and carbon dioxide concentration and can range from 0.5-50 mm/year, with organic content in soils found to accelerate the process.
Absorption of CO2 gas from CO
2/Air mixture into aqueous sodium hydroxide solution has been
achieved using packed column in pilot scale at constant temperature (T) of 25±1℃.The aim of the present work
was to improve the Absorption rate of this process, to find the optimal operation conditions, and to contribute to
the using of this process in the chemical industry. Absorption rate (RA) was measured by using different
operating parameters: gas mixture flow rate (G) of 360 -540 m3/h, carbon dioxide inlet concentration (CCO
2) of
0.1-0.5 vol. %, NaOH solution concentration (CNaOH) of 1-2 M, and liquid holdup in the column (VL) of 0.022-0.028 m3 according to experimental design. The measured RA was in the range of RA = 3.235 – 22.340 k-mol/h.
Computer program (Statgraphics/Experimental Design) was used to estimate the fitted linear model of RA in
terms of (G, CCO2, CNaOH, and VL), and the economic aspects of the process. R -squared of RA model was
91.7659 percent, while the standard error of the estimate shows the standard deviation of the residuals to be
1.7619. The linear model of RA was adequate, the operating parameters were significant except the liquid holdup
was not significant, and the interactions were negligible.

This document describes a new efficient method for sampling atmospheric methane for radiocarbon analysis. The method separates methane from air directly at the sampling site, minimizing handling and speeding up the analysis process. Test runs of the new sampler achieved high-precision radiocarbon measurements of methane. Initial results from samples in London suggest fossil fuel methane contributions to emissions are greater than estimated by inventories, possibly due to underestimation of gas leaks. Further background and modeled measurements are planned to improve source partitioning of methane emissions.
This document summarizes research on the ozonolysis of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene using a flow reactor with cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) for analysis. The goal is to detect carbonyl oxide (CI) intermediates produced during ozonolysis. Adding sulfur dioxide (SO2) as a scavenger reveals additional peaks in difference spectra that are attributed to a CI-SO2 adduct. Increasing initial SO2 concentrations results in larger changes to difference spectra, supporting assignment of the new peaks. Future work includes addressing SO2 flow fluctuations and searching for spectra of the SO2 adduct directly.

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are important to have in writing to ensure quality and consistency. Quality assurance (QA) policies aim to prevent errors and ensure standards, while quality control (QC) checks that standards are being met. This poster exercise divides participants into groups to discuss why SOPs are important, what quality assurance entails, whether an organization has a QA policy and how it is implemented, and how quality control is performed.

- Nepal has been working to systematically classify its soils since 1957, completing surveys of 55 districts by 1983, though some high hill districts remained unsurveyed for a long time.
- In 1998 and 2014, soil maps of Nepal were prepared using the USDA and WRB soil classification systems, respectively. Around 6000 soil profiles were studied from five physiographic regions.
- The data from 158 representative soil profiles were analyzed and converted to fit the HWSD format using formulas from Batjes et al. 2017 to standardize the data into layers from 0-30 cm and 30-100 cm.
- Major soils identified include Calcaric Fluvisols, Eutric Gleysols, Calcaric Ph

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

Editor's Notes
Why is it important to talk about soil iorganic carbon in a symposium on organic carbon ?
2/3 de SOC 1/3 de SIC globalement. La majeure partie des SIC sont dans les drylands
Spatial distribution of SIC was strongly linked to the underlying geology.
Where there are high SIC contents there are not so much SOC. Souvent le SOC décroit avec la profondeur alors que pour les SIC c’est le contraire (Chine, Wang et al. 10,Sc. Total Envi ou Tamir et al. 12)
The increase in CO2 concentration due to microbial respiration is considered the main factor responsible for the dissolution of carbonates and istopic exchanges of C with soil carbonates.
Infra red spectrometry… mais on va se concentrer sur la partie dynamic!
δ13C des SIC dans la biblio:
-10,9 et +1,9 pour Bertrand et al. 07
-8,7 (lime) pour Ahmad et al. 14
-4 Chevallier et al. 16
-2 à -4 Cozzi
0.33 +/- 0.84‰ Inglima et al. 09
-0,9 pour Stevenson and verburg 06
-7,1 pour Tamir et al. 12
Dans Tamir et al. 11
Lithogenic carbonate, which is generally derived from marine limestone, has δ13C = 0‰ (West et al., 1988), and secondary carbonate has
δ13C = −10 to −12.5‰ (Salomons and Mook, 1976; Magaritz and Amiel, 1980). pour Nordt et al. 98 les SIC parents sont de l’ordre de +1 et les pedogénétic de -2 à -4.
-1,7 à -0,8 Nordt et al. 98
-11 à -11,5 pour Rovira and Vallejo 08
-6.8 à -1.1 pour Ranmarine et al. 12 plus vers -1.1 en profondeur (δ13C augmente avec la profondeur)
L’inverse pour Tamir et al. 12, evolution du δ13CSIC avec la profondeur de -10.5 à -13.6‰
Active Carbonates (subject to precipitation/dissolution/recrystallization…) have a δ13C poorer in 13C than total carbonates ( -7 vs -11). Cette difference se mesure jusqu’à des profondeurs importantes, de plus de 2 mètres (impact de la MO à ces profondeur, via HCO3- leaching ?) See Tamir et al. 12
Avec la profondeur augmentation de l’ordre de + 10‰ du δ13C
Avec la temperature augmentation δ13C de l’ordre de + 8‰ à 7 jours mais de +3‰ à 28 jours d’incubation
Contribution des SIC aux émissions de CO2 de 10 à 70 %. Valeurs restinclières pour 28 jours
Discussion pour les contributions des SIC différentes entre tree row et inter row : peut-être que cela peut venir aussi d’une différence de δ13C-SOC entre les deux parcelles, + de POM dont le δ13C peut de différentes valeurs que la SOM totale ? (Ranmarine et al. 12)
The more the CO2 was emitted, the more the CO2 was depleted in 13C, the SOC is the principal pool of CO2 emissions. Except at high temperatures.
The more the CO2 was emitted, the more the CO2 was depleted in 13C, the SOC is the principal pool of CO2 emissions. Except at high temperatures.

Conclusion
The increase in CO2 concentration due to microbial respiration is considered the main factor responsible for the dissolution of carbonates and istopic exchanges of C with soil carbonates.
Method alkali traps favor dissolution of carbonates ? Not sure…debate in literature, first resulats too variable to conclude.
SIC is not an homogenous pool, d13CSIC and reactivity (Tamir et al. 12, Bertrand et al. 07)
