A total of more than 30 early-career researchers and established researchers from economics, meteorology, and biology collaborate within ECO-N.
We seek to fill 14 funded doctoral researcher positions for the period September 2026 to August 2029, with envisaged extension to 2030.

I think it should be important to consider clouds. There are more clouds over forests, and that compensates on average some 40% of the albedo effect, Luo et al. Nat Comms 2024 (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)
Decreased cloud cover partially offsets the cooling effects of surface albedo change due to deforestation - Nature Communications
This study shows that deforestation locally reduces global low-level and tropical high-level clouds, with the resulting warming partially counteracting the cooling of increased surface albedo.
