Divya Pandey joined SEI York in November 2015 as Research Associate under the project, ‘What levels of risk will ground level ozone pose to soil carbon sequestration over coming decades’ which is funded by AXA Research Fund.
Her major research focus is to understand the plant-soil interactions that influence soil C dynamics under changing environmental conditions. In her PhD research, Divya assessed the GHG fluxes, soil C pools, and enzyme activities in soils in rice-wheat systems under different tillage managements. She also has experience in monitoring of pollutants in ambient air and river water.
