Fuels, not fire weather, control carbon emissions in boreal forest, new study finds

Posted by Heather Tate on October 13, 2020

IllustrationAs climate warming stokes longer fire seasons and more severe fires in the North American boreal forest, being able to calculate how much carbon each fire burns grows more urgent. New research led by Northern Arizona University and published this week in Nature Climate Change suggests that how much carbon burns depends… Read more

NAU atmospheric scientist maps CO2 emissions for entire U.S. landscape to help improve environmental policymaking

Posted by Heather Tate on October 5, 2020

Vulcan Project mapWith intense wildfires in the western U.S. and frequent, intense hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, the nation is again affected by extreme weather-related events resulting from climate change. In response, cities, states and regions across the country are developing policies to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases, chiefly carbon dioxide (CO2). Even though many state and local governments are committed to these goals, however, the emissions data they have… Read more

NAU global change ecologist leads NASA satellite study of rapid greening across Arctic tundra

Posted by Heather Tate on September 22, 2020

Berner Arctic Greening illustrationAs Arctic summers warm, Earth’s northern landscapes are changing. Using satellite images to track global tundra ecosystems over decades, a team of researchers finds the region has become greener as warmer air and soil temperatures lead to increased plant growth.

“The Arctic tundra is one of the coldest biomes on Earth, and it’s also one of the most rapidly warming,” said Logan Berner, assistant research professor with Northern Arizona University’s… Read more
