Forests can be risky climate investments to offset greenhouse gas emissions, say NAU scientists

Posted by SICCS on July 8, 2020

Professor Scott Goetz of Northern Arizona University’s School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems and associate professor Deborah Huntzinger of NAU’s School of Earth and Sustainability co-authored a paper published in Science finding that forests can be best deployed in the fight against climate change with a proper understanding of the risks to forests that climate change itself imposes. Given the tremendous ability of forests to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, some governments are counting… Read more

Debates series on Information Theory in Earth Science published in WRR

Posted by SICCS on March 4, 2020

Water Resources Research has published a “debate” series on the role of information theory in Earth Science, led by Praveen Kumar and Hoshin Gupta. There are five papers in this collection, three of which were co-authored by SICCS’ Ben Ruddell. Serious information theory, modeling, and statistics geeks should consider diving in! Also,… Read more

Fallowing cattle-feed farmland simplest way to alleviate western water shortage, FEWSION-based study finds

Posted by SICCS on March 2, 2020

An important new study published this week in Nature Sustainability finds that irrigated crop production accounts for 86 percent of all water consumed in the western U.S.—and of all the water used on western farms, by far the largest portion goes to cattle-feed crops such as alfalfa and grass hay. To alleviate the severe shortage of water in the… Read more

Ecosystem warming extends vegetation activity but heightens vulnerability to cold temperatures

Posted by brianh on August 16, 2018

Dr. Andrew Richardson’s latest research was featured in the journal Nature, this research provides some of the first evidence that a warmer world will significantly shift ecosystem-wide growing seasons, putting plants at higher risks during extreme temperature swings. Using digital repeat photography—in which conventional digital cameras are programmed to take multiple images of a specific frame each day—researchers measured green-up and green-down. Simulating five levels of warming in different chambers, ranging from zero to 16.2 degrees F (zero to 9 degrees… Read more
