Hello! I'm an environmental science student at Trinity College Dublin. My primary area of interest is in Blue Carbon. My research project will analyse to organic carbon storage capacity of Irish salt marshes via a quantitative survey of a salt marsh in Balydoyle, Co. Dublin. As a part of the project I will be analysing the differences in carbon storage between healthy, disturbed and recovering salt marsh areas and I will also compare the results of the commonly used Loss On Ignition protocol to the more high definition Elemental Analyser approach.
