MEMS Training
Build skills with the next-generation MEMS model
Learn the history, science, and mechanics of the MEMS model from its developers, with one-on-one instruction to set up and run it.
Overview
MEMS asserts that efficient microbial use of labile plant material produces byproducts that stabilize on minerals, making microbes primary architects of long-lived soil carbon. The model represents measurable soil carbon fractions over flexible, continuous depth intervals.
The training introduces the science behind MEMS and guides participants through running it for cropland and grassland applications.
What you’ll learn
- The MEMS framework and measurable soil carbon fractions
- Grazing management and deep soil dynamics
- Running MEMS on the LandEngine platform
- Comparing MEMS and DayCent use cases
Who should attend
Academic researchers, carbon and MMRV program developers, agency analysts, and agricultural practitioners who want to apply process-based models in their work.
