Abstract
The land can contribute to climate mitigation through absorbing more carbon dioxide and reducing other greenhouse gas emissions by growing more trees and re-wetting the peatlands.
But as the climate warms and more demands are made of the land to feed a growing population, there is less space for these land-based climate mitigation activities and less for nature and biodiversity. Meanwhile, the changing climate is bringing more extreme weather which impacts on our safety.
To grow a green future that is safe and resilient to these changes, we need to understand the linkages between the land and water systems of the earth. We need to have clear evidence of how changes we make on land and water management impact on the other aspects of the land-system, including how they will respond to increasing temperatures and extreme weather systems.
This programme of work will bring together scientists from many different disciplines to work together to understand three key questions:
What is limited our ability to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from the land?
What are the options for reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and what impacts do they have on the environment?
How can we improve our resilience to climate change through improved forecasting and prediction of extreme events?
By bringing together scientists in disciplines from soils, water, air and ecosystem dynamics, we will improve our understanding of the complex system that lies at the heart of the problem.
We will use novel downscaling techniques and uncertainty framework to link global models to regional and national scale simulations. This will enable us to reality check the assumptions made in the global analysis against local knowledge.
Using the downscaled data as a base-line, we will develop new knowledge of how the land-system interacts with the climate system at the local scale.
Case studies around ecosystem restoration in sub-saharan Africa and gradients of intensity of agriculture in Southeast Asia will be used to quantify the impact of ecosystem management on climate mitigation metrics. Results of these case-studies will be used to inform the global assessment of land-management potential to contribute to Net Zero.
We will create a global network of scientists bringing their knowledge of the environmental and socio-political system and how it interacts.
Global and regional data will be made available to the national (UK) and international community of scientists to address these urgent issues

Specifically, these are provided for historical (1971 to 2005) and projected future (2006 to 2099) periods, for 3 Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). This dataset is the output from the Hydrological Modelling Framework for Malaysia, or "HMF-Malaysia" model. The projected future hydrology simulations are provided for CORDEX-SEA (Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment - South East Asia) three RCPs (RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) assuming (i) current artificial influences (CAI) such as water transfers and diversions and (ii) planned future artificial influences (FAI). |

Title | PeatCams |
Description | PeatCams have been developed by UKCEH over the last two years as part of several projects. As part of NC-International, we have now trained local staff and students at the University of Palangka Raya, Indonesia, on how to build and install these systems The PeatCam is a time-lapse camera based on Raspberry Pi computers which uses a different low-cost sensors to monitor peat height changes and water table depth. The PeatCam uses telemetry to upload all collected data to a cloud storage service. The peat height changes or peat motion can be used to estimate peat subsidence and CO2 emissions from heterotrophic respiration. In addition, the monitoring of water table depth can be use as a fire prevention and drought tool, both themes covered as part of NC-International. The product was developed in the UK but the kits were built in Indonesia. 30 PeatCams have been built to date (funding came from several projects) and this will constitute the basis of our work for the next years. |
Type Of Technology | Physical Model/Kit |
Year Produced | 2022 |
Impact | Many students and staff from the University has shown interest. To date, one student from the Physics department has used this project to complete his compulsory apprenticeship. Furthermore, a student of the MSc in Management of Natural Resources and Environment from the University of Palangka Raya is looking after 9 PeatCams. She is using data from this cameras to write her MSc. thesis. Notice that the development of the PeatCams was sponsored by other projects and not specifically by NC-International. Also, DOI (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2021.630752/full) show the previous version of the peat cameras and how this tool can be used to monitor peatlands. UKCEH is looking at ways of commercialising the PeatCams but this work is still going on. |
