Thesis Saba Keyvanshokouhi

Prediction of soils evolutions in response to agriculture and climate change using a mecanistic model. Thesis director are Sophie Cornu from INRA GSE laboratory in Aix en Provence and Pr. Peter Finke from Gent Université.

The thesis is funded by ADEME (French agency for Environment and Energy) and by Environment and Agriculture department of INRA.    The VSOIL platform will be used to add processes and test their formulation to the SoilGen model developped by Peter Finke at Gent University.   The resulting model predictions wiil be compared with actual soils properties resulting from known usage.  Long term simulations will be carried out (100 years) to assess soil properties changes related to climate and to agricultural practices.
