Own the quantification and scientific integrity of Varaha's AWD (Alternate Wetting and Drying) rice methane program — from validated GHG data through emission-reduction and lifecycle accounting to authorship of the technical sections of the Project Design Document under the Isometric Rice Methane Reduction Protocol. This is the seat accountable for whether AWD's numbers are defensible at registry review.
Key Responsibilities
Quantification (primary)
Compute baseline and project CH₄ and N₂O emissions from closed-chamber flux data; seasonal scaling and aggregation across strata.
Own uncertainty quantification and emission-reduction (ERR) computation under the Isometric Rice Methane Reduction Protocol v1.0.
Maintain the quantification methodology and ensure reproducibility of all reported figures.
Lifecycle Assessment
Conduct project-emissions, leakage, and lifecycle (LCA) accounting as required by the Isometric protocol.
Author the corresponding PDD section and defend its assumptions.
PDD Authorship & Registry Engagement
Author quantification, LCA, and monitoring-methodology sections of the PDD.
Resolve Isometric protocol queries and lead technical defense through registry review.
GHG Sampling — Team Management & Data Sign-Off
Manage the field officers conducting GHG sampling: set technical direction, sampling standards, and performance expectations.
Hold final technical sign-off on GHG sampling and laboratory data quality — approving data as quantification-grade before it enters the accounting. (Day-to-day SOP execution, monitoring, and lab coordination run separately; this role sets the standard and signs off.)
