SUMMARY:Webinar: B0 for IPCC inventories and biogas production
DESCRIPTION:Join our upcoming webinar! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Manure Management Network of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) will host a webinar on “B0 for IPCC inventories and biogas production”. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is on B0\, also known as biochemical methane potential\, which is an estimate of the maximum possible methane production or emission from a substrate. Measurements of B0 can be used to estimate methane emission from stored liquid manure when combined with a kinetic model. Three researchers with extensive experience in methane emission will present some pitfalls and promise in measurement\, understanding\, and application of B0. \n\n\n\nThe following three presentations will be given at the webinar: \n\n\n\n\nSasha Hafner: Laboratory measurement of B0: assessment of reproducibility and recommendations for accurate results.\n\n\n\nTony Van Der Weerden: The IPCC model for calculating methane emission from stored liquid manure using B0 data – examples of pitfalls in using standard B0 not accounting for separation or diet affecting B0.\n\n\n\nHenrik B. Møller: Overview of a large data set for chemical composition and B0 of cattle manure with different feedings and feed additives.\n\n\n\n\nEach presentation will be about 20 minutes giving time to a discussion after presentations. \n\n\n\nSasha D. Hafner (https://www.au.dk/en/sasha.hafner@bce.au.dk) is a senior researcher in the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering at Aarhus University. He has worked for several years in a few research areas related to methane emission. This includes development and evaluation of laboratory methods for measurement of biochemical methane potential and development of related data processing standards and software. Sasha also led the development of a software package called ABM for simulating microbial activity and methane emission from stored manure. He is currently working on application of this tool to predict effects of management on methane emission. \n\n\n\nTony van der Weerden is a senior scientist at AgResearch in NZ. His research area is processes regulating gaseous N emissions (nitrous oxide\, ammonia) from soils\, greenhouse gas emissions (including methane) from manure management\, farm-scale GHG footprints and mitigation technologies. He currently co-leads several international projects relating to GHG emissions from manure management systems. He also leads several national projects on GHG emissions and mitigations from pasture-based livestock systems and improvements to NZ’s agricultural GHG inventory. Tony was a lead author of the 2019 refinement of the 2006 IPCC inventory methodology guidelines.  \n\n\n\nHenrik B. Møller is Professor and heads the biogas research at Aarhus University. His research has a focus on anaerobic digestion and all the related aspects such as energy\, environmental impact and sustainability. During his research career he have worked with process optimization\, biomass selection\, energy yield\, degradation of xenobiotics and pre-treatment. He has investigated the interactions between feeding of the animals\, feed additives and biogas potential. He was among the first Danish researchers looking into the vast energy potential of biogas and was one of the research pioneers in the Danish biogas development and has been initiating the biogas research at AU. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE!

SUMMARY:Hands-on workshop: Bridging the Gap from Sequence to Biology with Integrated Microbial Genomes
DESCRIPTION:The Integrated Microbial Genomes & Microbiomes system (IMG/M) supports the annotation\, comparative analysis\, and distribution of microbial genome and microbiome datasets. It includes over 200\,000 diverse publicly available datasets encompassing 150\,000 isolate genomes\, 23\,000 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)\, and 40\,000 metagenomes along with curated environmental and other metadata to enable comprehensive comparative analysis. Importantly\, IMG/M provides data and tools via graphical user interface (GUI)\, so no programming knowledge and no dedicated compute infrastructure is required to perform computational analysis.

SUMMARY:Webinar : Manure management and GHG emissions in sub-Saharan Africa
DESCRIPTION:The webinar intends to give an overview of our knowledge about current manure management practices in sub-Saharan Africa and their impacts on GHG and ammonia emissions and other externalities (e.g.\, leaching\, health hazards). The discussions after the presentation will be about identifying pressing knowledge gaps linked to manure and ideas for collaboration. The aim for collaboration could be to explore opportunities for joint in-depth analysis of the current manure management systems and how efficiently manure is recycled to fertilize soil and reduce GHG emissions\, and to follow this up with studies filling the knowledge gaps identified. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nDavid Pelster \n\n\n\nDr. Pelster is a soil scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) specializing on nitrogen [N] cycling in agricultural systems with a focus on measuring and mitigating ammonia and greenhouse gas (GHG – methane and nitrous oxide in particular) emissions related to agriculture. Dr. Pelster also worked as a scientist with the International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi\, Kenya\, measuring and investigating practices to help mitigate GHG emissions from manure and soil management in smallholder agricultural systems. \n\n\n\nSonja Leitner \n\n\n\nSonja is an ecologist and biogeochemist working on carbon and nitrogen cycling in natural and agricultural ecosystems. She investigates nutrient transformations and nutrient losses via gaseous emissions and leaching\, with a special focus on greenhouse gas emissions (CO2\, CH4\, N2O). Her aim is to develop options for soil and manure management that reduce nutrient losses to improve livestock productivity and help achieve climate change mitigation and adaptation. Sonja works in mixed crop-livestock systems and pastoral rangelands in projects Kenya\, Uganda\, Tanzania\, and Ethiopia. \n\n\n\nNgwa Martin Ngwabie  \n\n\n\nMartin is an experienced engineer and consultant with over 20 years practical knowledge on greenhouse gas inventory\, mitigation and adaptation strategies from livestock barns\, manure and waste management in Germany\, Sweden\, Canada and Cameroon. He also assesses the biomethane potential of different feedstock and their blends.  He was a contributing author in the revised IPCC 2019 guidelines on Emissions from Manure Management. He has consulted for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada\, Environment Canada as well as the International Livestock Research Institute. He has been at the forefront of research on greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production systems in West-Africa for the past 10 years. \n\n\n\nClick HERE to register
