Join us at the Ted Moorhead Lagoon House for June's Lagoon at Noon discussion on biochar featuring Dr. Chris Fields-Johnson. Biomass transformed into biochar through pyrolysis can improve soil and water quality while sequestering atmospheric carbon. This presentation will cover the science behind biochar, a series of experiments to understand its effects on soil and water, and a comprehensive set of options with best management practices for biochar utilization. It will tie together these practices into a positive feedback loop where each round of biochar production can lead to a more productive landscape, cleaner air, and reduced greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It will conclude with an introduction to a new land-based experiment to test the effects of biochar on disturbed urban soils.The seminar will end with a live Q&A session. Given the limited seating in the Lagoon House and an increased demand for in-person tickets, there is a $5 in-person attendance fee. Please feel free to bring your own lunch. Coffee and cookies will be provided. Viewing Lagoon at Noon presentations via Zoom remains free. We thank you for your continued support of our Lagoon at Noon Program.
The Zoom link will be in your confirmation email. A recording of the presentation will be posted to MRC's YouTube page for future viewing.
