Preliminary Study of the Potential for Carbon Biotic-Offset Projects in the Kakamega Forest, Kenya

Faculty Sponsor: Steven Hamburg

Julia Glenday studied carbon storage patterns in Kenya's Kakamega Forest to investigate the potential for trading carbon for funding through the Combined Development Mechanism.

After graduating from Brown, Julia returned to Kenya to work with the Critical Ecosystems Partnership Fund on carbon storage assessments for other indigenous forests. She then worked for three years in the Environmental Management Department for the eThekwini Municipality in Durban, South Africa, before enrolling in the environmental science Ph.D. program at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is now working on her dissertation research, studying floodplain restoration projects and water supply improvement in the Baviaanskloof, South Africa.
