I am applying for a medium storage project to support the continuation and expansion of my previous storage allocation (NAISS 2024/6-252), which focused on storing and post-processing simulation outputs from the Earth System Model (EC-Earth). The project primarily supports global land-based climate research, with a particular emphasis on CH₄ (methane) emissions from peatlands. As the project grows in scope through continued collaboration with the Global Carbon Project and the ISIMIP peat sector initiative, additional storage is essential. I am therefore requesting an additional 10 TB of storage to accommodate new model output files that are critical to ongoing analyses and synthesis. This storage request is linked to new global simulations planned under the large Compute Project S-CMIP (Swedish Climate Modelling and Contributions to International Projects; NAISS 2025/1-11). Within this broader initiative, I will conduct EC-Earth simulations for the peatland sector as part of ISIMIP3b Group III, contribute to the global CH₄ budget assessment for 2026, and prepare for CMIP7 experiments using the EC-Earth model framework. These simulations are expected to generate large volumes of high-resolution climate and biogeochemical output data, which will be stored, processed, and analyzed over the coming year. The project is primarily funded by a FORMAS grant under the title Land Use, Carbon Sinks, and Negative Emissions for Climate Targets (LUCSNE4C). Its overarching goal is to explore the biogeophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks between land use, ecosystem functioning, and the potential for achieving global climate goals. The work contributes to answering critical policy-relevant questions about how terrestrial ecosystems can help limit global warming to well below 2°C. Scientific evidence indicates that in order to remain within this target, the cumulative global greenhouse gas emissions must stay below 1000 GtC. To achieve this, society must drastically reduce emissions, enhance natural carbon sinks, and deploy negative emission technologies such as Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). In addition to FORMAS funding, the project now receives complementary support through a VR Starting Grant (2020) and institutional funding from Lund University via the BECC (Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate) and MERGE (ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system) strategic research platforms. These resources will help cover the salaries for one PhD student and one postdoctoral researcher who will directly contribute to the simulations, data analysis, and synthesis efforts. Over the next year, the research will focus on three main objectives: Quantifying the biogeophysical feedbacks resulting from land-use change and changes in potential natural vegetation under future climate and land-use scenarios. Assessing the role of soil restoration in improving biodiversity and enhancing land carbon sequestration, particularly in peatlands and other degraded ecosystems. Modelling CH₄ emissions from peatlands, in collaboration with other land surface models, to better understand methane-climate feedbacks and reduce uncertainty in global CH₄ budgets. The additional storage requested will enable effective data management for these aims and ensure that simulation outputs are readily accessible for collaborative research and downstream analysis.
