TIBETMETH Microbial Biomarker Records in Tibetan Peats: Monsoon Variability and its Impact on Methane Biogeochemistry
Coordinator: NORTHWEST UNIVERSITY (CN)
It is crucial to understand terrestrial microbial processes because they govern greenhouse gas emissions; unfortunately, the long-term microbial responses to climate change remain unclear, causing uncertainty in predictions for how they will impact future climate and atmospheric composition. The peatlands from the Tibetan Plateau, controlled by the Indian Monsoon and East Asian Monsoon systems, have been major players in climate change and carbon cycling, such that these deposits represent a truly novel potential to address the above scientific issues. This proposed research will expand the T…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 1 year from 2015-10-01 to 2016-09-30.
