Global Applications of Soil Erosion Modelling Tracker
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/global-applications-soil-erosion-modelling-tracker>*
(GASEMT)*

The GASEMT database provides comprehensive insights into the
state-of-the-art of soil erosion models and model applications worldwide.
This database intends to support the upcoming country-based United Nations
global soil-erosion assessment in addition to helping to inform soil
erosion research priorities by building a foundation for future targeted,
in-depth analyses. GASEMT is an open-source database available to the
entire user-community. GASEMT is a result of reviewing 8471 scientific
articles, selecting 3030 records and extracting 49 fields relevant to
modelling. It is a collective effort of 67 soil-erosion modelers from 25
countries. The database is released togeth­er with two research articles:
a) A global review of soil erosion models
<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004896972101562X> b) A
bibliometric analysis
<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935121003819>.

Open vacancy at the JRC Soil team
<https://recruitment.jrc.ec.europa.eu/showprj.php?type=A&id=1957>*:
Scientific/Research Development of Soil Organic Carbon Indicators*

This position focuses on the development of indicators of soil organic
carbon combining the current LUCAS soil monitoring system data in the
European Union with *advanced modelling *applications. The candidate will
develop *soil organic carbon indicators* to support the Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP), the Sustaina­ble Development Goals (SDGs) and the relevance
of soil carbon for climate change. The job holder will provide regular
reporting at EU scale of soil organic carbon at the indicator system of the
EU Soil Obser­vatory. Candidates are expected to lead and contribute to
scientific publications and policy briefs. *Dead­line for applications*:
*26.4.2021*.  https://recruitment.jrc.ec.europa.eu/
(2021-IPR-D3-FGIV-016968).










Open vacancy at the JRC Soil team
<https://recruitment.jrc.ec.europa.eu/showprj.php?type=A&id=1959>*:
**Scientific/Research
Development of Soil Health Indicators*

This position focuses on the development of indicators of *soil health *derived
from an integrated soil moni­toring system for the EU, combining the
current LUCAS soil monitoring system of the European Commis­sion and
existing national soil monitoring systems in Member States. The job holder
will especially develop spatially explicit soil health indicators to
support the European Green Deal and the Mission on Soil Health and Food. At
least 5 years of job-related research experience on soil functions and
ecosystem services are required. Candidates are expected to lead and
contribute to scientific publications and policy briefs. *Dead­line for
applications*: *30.4.2021*.  https://recruitment.jrc.ec.europa.eu/
(2021-IPR-D3-FGIV-017010).











Open vacancy at the Soil team
<https://recruitment.jrc.ec.europa.eu/showprj.php?type=A&id=1931>*:
Understanding the links between SOil pollution and CancEr” *

This is an exploratory research position on *soil diffuse pollution *with
initial focus on metals (e.g. Cad­mium, Arsenic, Zinc, Lead, Nickel), but
with a scope to extend to other substance (e.g. plant protec­tion products,
industrial chemicals, pesticides). The researcher will be in charge of the
spatial mapping of outcomes (including predictive considerations) and
contribute to the better understanding of soil-plant uptake of pollutants
and development of soil-food flows. *Deadline for applications*: *14.4.2021*
.

Global Symposium on Soil Biodiversity
<http://www.fao.org/about/meetings/soil-biodiversity-symposium/en/>

The Global Symposium on Soil Biodiversity (GSOBI21), ‘Keep soil alive,
protect soil biodiversity’ will be a science-policy meeting, fully virtual
and will take place from *19-22 April 2021*. The main ob­jective will be to
fill critical knowledge gaps and promote discussion among policy makers,
food pro­ducers, scientists, practitioners and other stakeholders on
solutions to live in harmony with nature, and ultimately, achieve the SDGs
through the conservation and sustainable use of soil biodiversity.
