ESD welcomes Dr. Nathan G. McDowell (Earth & Environmental Sciences, LANL, NM), presenting "Current Uncertainties in Global Vegetation Mortality and Climate Feedbacks" August 23 at 10:30am in the Bldg. 50 Auditorium.
In a recently published paper, ESD’s Eoin Brodie and Mary Firestone describe how, within Mediterranean-type, drought-prone ecosystems, microbes employ various survival strategies to survive and ultimately yield CO2 “when the rains come.”
Dr. Lise Øvreås of Norway will be a visiting Fulbright Arctic Scholar at LBNL starting this fall, joining the Lab’s world-renown metagenomics program to continue her investigation of Arctic microbiology and contribute to the NGEE project.
