Quantifying changes in northern high latitude ecosystems and associated feedbacks to the climate system

Quantifying changes in northern high latitude ecosystems and associated feedbacks to the climate system

The primary focus of this NASA supported research project is to examine the tradeoffs between carbon and energy fluxes in two boreal forest study regions (Interior Alaska and Cherskii Russia) across three different periods of post-fire succession: (1) immediately following fire (years 1-6 after fire), (2) at intermediate stand ages (20-40 years after fire), (3) in older stands (more than 60 years after fire).

Urban growth impacts on surface hydrology in Mid-Atlantic and New England watersheds

Urban growth impacts on surface hydrology in Mid-Atlantic and New England watersheds

This project was focused on the use of land cover products and spatial predictive land use modeling to inform hydrologic models and assess the risk of flooding and resource land losses associated with future development across watersheds of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions.
