Program Overview
Ever wonder what it takes to slow down the planet’s warming? The cause is excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the answer might be right under our feet: carbon in the soil.
The CFAES Dr. Rattan Lal Carbon Management and Sequestration Center (C-MASC) will be hosting Restore Earth’s Carbon Cycle, an Earth Day webinar. C-MASC Director and Distinguished University Professor Dr. Rattan Lal and Assistant Director Dr. Klaus Lorenz are joined by several multi-disciplinary speakers across different University institutions, including Dr. Gary Pierzynski, Dr. Jacqueline Wilkins, Dr. Elena Irwin and more, to provide an introduction to the Earth's carbon cycle and the ways we can take action to restore it through soils.
