![]() The background of the laboratory members includes Canada, Korea, Singapore, United States, Iran, China, Germany, Philippines, United Kingdom, Colombia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Brunei, Ghana, and and Vietnam. The alumni include fourteen graduates, twenty nine undergraduates, eight assistants and three visiting professors. The Research Group is currently integrated by five doctoral students, five master students, two undergraduate students, two research assistants and one postdoctoral fellow. Moreover, this collective work contributes to inform process modelling efforts, life cycle assessments, and provide the foundation for the development of policy towards carbon-negative and carbon-neutral systems. We aim to deepen, underpin, and extend the existing scientific knowledge on these relevant research areas in order to gain insights, to discover and establish principles, and ultimately to provide solutions for current challenging problems faced by the local, regional and global societies including environmental quality, natural resources conservation, and food and energy securities. Furthermore, field to landscape strategies for sustainable management, greenhouse gas mitigation, climate change adaptation, enhanced resilience of soil and whole ecosystems, improved nutrient and water use-efficiencies, and increased ecosystem services in agricultural systems are also subject of investigation. For example, we examine sources, transformation, utilization, behavior, fate, and fluxes of carbon and nitrogen in land ecosystems (often also called agroecosystems) with particular focus on the relative responses, controlling factors, and feedbacks of greenhouse gas exchange and soil carbon sequestration to common and improved management options. Guillermo leads the Sustainable Land Ecosystems Research GroupĪs a research group, the foci encompass carbon, nitrogen and water cycling and dynamics in land ecosystems. Within UAlberta, Guillermo also participates in the Sustainability Council, Land Reclamation International Graduate School (LRIGS - program sponsored by NSERC CREATE), Alberta School of Forest Science and Management (ASFSM) as well as the Alberta Centre for Reclamation and Restoration Ecology (ACRRE).Īlso, Guillermo serves to the broad community as an elected Councilor of the Alberta Institute of Agrologists (AIA) as well as in the Prizes and Awards Committee of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS). Business, Environment, Learning and Leadership (BELL) Award (as team award).Andrews Award for Environmental Research. Alberta Science and Technology (ASTech) Award for Innovation in Agricultural Science (as team award).Ed and Peggy Tyrchniewicz Award for Innovation in Teaching. Faculty of ALES – University of Alberta.Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and University of Hohenheim. Guillermo's academic recognitions include: ![]() from Purdue University (Indiana, United States), and holds professional agrologist (P.Ag.) designation in Alberta. ![]() from EARTH University (Costa Rica) and his Ph.D. He previously worked as a scientist with Plant and Food Research Institute (New Zealand), a professor at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences - University of Panama, and a postdoctoral researcher with USDA-ARS at the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment (Iowa, United States). Guillermo has been working at UAlberta since 2012. ![]()
