Khadiza Begum

Khadiza Begum is a Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge's Department of Plant Sciences, specializing in soil carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions modelling. Her work focuses on UK grassland management and global agroecosystems, with collaborations spanning UK, European, and Asian projects.

• Education: PhD in Environmental Science (2018, University of Aberdeen), MSc in Environmental Science (2012, Brunel University), MSc (1996) and BSc (1996) in Soil Science (University of Dhaka)

Her research addresses critical climate change mitigation strategies through soil carbon sequestration, sustainable land management, and nature-based solutions. She utilizes advanced models to analyze GHG dynamics in agricultural systems, particularly rice croplands and grasslands.

Recent publications highlight her expertise in applying DAYCENT and DNDC models to double-rice systems in China and assessing carbon dynamics in European climates. Her work bridges computational ecology with practical agricultural sustainability frameworks.
