Dr. Luca Morreale looked at the speed of tree growth and other factors in more than 48,000 forest plots in the northeastern United States tracked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Trees within 30 meters of an edge grew nearly twice as fast, and more sunlight fueled a higher tree density. Faster-growing trees packed tightly together mean that more carbon is stored in tree roots, trunks, and leaves.
Dr. Oliver Wing and his team created projected flood loss maps under the modest Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 climate change scenario outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which predicts climate patterns if emissions peak in 2040 and then decline. They analyzed those data in concert with projected population and demographic shifts from the U.S.
This webinar series focuses urban and agriculture hotspots of land cover and land use change.

"If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair." -Shirley Chisholm
Building on our previous efforts to share curricula for major courses important in environmental sciences, a team of educators from Michigan State University (MSU), George Washington University (GWU), University of South Dakota (USD), University of Maine, and Pace University will deliver an intensive workshop with junior faculty members in rural Kazakhstan universities. The workshop will be co-organized at the Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University during June 20–30, 2022.
