Leonie, an 8th generation EAGLE, is currently doing her internship at CIAT (International Center of Tropical Agriculture) in South America, Colombia. She is part of the Multifuncional Landscapes group, which investigates about soil organic carbon sequestration in tropical soils. Leonie is working on the identification of hotspots in agricultural areas that could serve for deep rooting rice-grass rotation systems for improved carbon storage with the focus on food security. Thus, she is working with digital soil mapping approaches using spatial and remote sensing data and will soon be doing an on-site evaluation. At CIAT you can enjoy a very nice campus in the countryside of Cali and Palmira, where recently the COP16 was taking place. You get very interesting insights into their on-campus field research or also by visiting the new seeds bank for crop diversity. She will be staying in Colombia until February from where she will then head to Svalbard for her second internship.
