Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbha Bhattarai is an Environmental Scientist with 8 years of experience specializing in agronomy, soil carbon, and agricultural GHG dynamics, currently based in Columbus, Ohio. She has led end-to-end carbon projects for Fortune 500 clients across the U.S., Brazil, and Europe, applying Tier 1–3 accounting to quantify Scope 3 emissions, assess reversal risk, and produce robust carbon credit estimates across diverse cropping and grazing systems. Skilled in DNDC modeling, Python, GIS, and MRV QA/QC, she has analyzed datasets spanning over 6,000 acres to model emissions and soil carbon sequestration at field and landscape scales. Her academic work at Ohio State integrated DNDC with PEST for rigorous calibration and uncertainty analysis, and included field sampling with DGPS for high-quality ground truth. Passionate about regenerative agriculture and climate tech, she blends scientific rigor with practical tools to scale high-quality carbon projects. A subtle strength is her cross-cultural project experience—bridging technical science with client-facing deliverables for international agricultural portfolios.
