The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in a public workshop to review the Final Report for the Soil Nitrogenous Emissions "Subject Matter Expert Review Panel (SMERP)" Contract (23RD017). As part of the SMERP, Dr. William Horwath (University of California [UC] Davis), Dr. Whendee Silver (UC Berkeley), Dr. Xia Zhu-Barker (University of Wisconsin -Madison), Dr. Martin Burger (California Department of Food and Agriculture [recently retired]; UC Davis), and Dr. Viney Aneja (North Carolina State University) conducted a comprehensive review of scientific literature, pertinent databases, and emission estimation methodologies that pertain to nitrogenous emissions from soils.”

Subject Matter Expert Review Panel on Nitrogenous Emissions from Soils 

CARB is seeking five technical experts to serve in the Subject Matter Expert Review Panel (SMERP) that will independently evaluate existing data and science to improve our current understanding of nitrogenous emissions, including oxides of nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and ammonia, from soils, particularly in California. 

Interested parties are encouraged to nominate their peers or apply themselves to be a member of the SMERP. Self-applicants must fill out the Conflict-of-Interest (COI) section prior to submission.
