University of Sydney 2022 Soil Organic Carbon Postgraduate Research Scholarhip

This scholarship aims to support a student undertaking a PhD on approved projects funded by ARC within the Faculty of Science.

This scholarship aims to support a student who focus their research on the stability of organic carbon associated with different clay minerals and artificial soils using advanced spectroscopic studies including nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS), Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS), and synchrotron based - scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS).
