NAU scientist maps CO2 emissions for entire Los Angeles Megacity to help improve environmental policymaking

Posted by Heather Tate on August 26, 2019

Kevin Gurney working on his computer.As the threat of global warming grows—and with it, the specter of more extreme conditions such as wildfires, droughts and tropical storms—cities across the U.S. are developing policies to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases, chiefly carbon dioxide (CO2). Even though many local governments are committed to these goals, however, the emissions data they have to… Read more

NAU scientists publish first estimate of carbon emissions from 2014 mega-fires in Canada’s boreal forests

Posted by Heather Tate on May 18, 2018

Illustration of carbon emmissionsThe boreal forest is home to one-third of the Earth’s forest cover and stores 40 percent of the planet’s terrestrial carbon. North America’s boreal forest alone, which spans the northern portion of the continent from Alaska all the way to Newfoundland, covers an astounding 1.5 billion acres—more than 2.3 million square miles.

As mega-fires in the boreal forest become more frequent and more intense, scientists believe the burning of these… Read more
