Project Carbon is currently carrying out field trials in Yuba and Fresno Counties, CA, to investigate
how the co-application of organic (compost) and inorganic (basalt rock dust) amendments could
increase carbon storage and soil health on working lands. I am also investigating how upstream
emissions could impact the feasibility of enhanced rock weathering as a carbon dioxide removal
strategy. This project is part of the larger Terraforming Soil Energy Earthshot Research Center.
The Finite Source Correction Factor calculator was developed for an internship studying potential updates to the soil-to-groundwater pathway Soil Screening
Levels with U.S. EPA Office of Land and Emergency Management. The calculator incorporates both U.S. EPA default values and user inputs and returns a correction
factor for the Dilution Attenuation Factor, which is currently calculated assuming an infinite source of each contaminant. The calculator can be found here.
