Clearly informing the general public about the scientific work related to climate change is a necessity. Addressing this need, ESD climate scientists recently spoke to media representatives on key climate issues.
ESD’s Norm Miller and other scientists have recently conducted research on how climate change could increase the danger of wind-driven wildfires—and extend the season of greatest risk for such fires.
At this year’s AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, ESD will man a booth, have scientists available to talk about their work, and have an HR representative on hand to meet with people pursuing work in Earth sciences.
In a recently published article in Science, ESD’s Margaret Torn and others find that California’s 2050 carbon-emission-reduction goals are achievable using available technologies— assuming the widespread electrification of transportation and other sectors.
This past Monday, Nov. 14, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Wuhan University of China agreed (in a memorandum of understanding—MOU) to collectively explore their mutual interests in scientific education and research
ESD Director Donald J. DePaolo talks about the link between climate change and the “carbon cycle change”: the fact that Earth’s carbon cycles have undergone revolutionary change, entirely due to human burning of fossil fuels and removal of forests
Scientists don’t know what will happen to soil carbon in response to climate change. It could enter the atmosphere as CO2, a greenhouse gas, and further accelerate climate change. But how much — and when — remains a mystery.
“Sit Down With Sabin” is a summer lecture series, during which former San Francisco Chronicle science reporter and current Lab employee Sabin Russell interviews innovative scientists about their research. This video is the third installment; a talk with ESD's Margaret Torn.
ESD’s Eoin Brodie and Nicholas Bouskill are using rainfall manipulation experiments to characterize the response of soil microbial communities to different rainfall patterns, and how this might affect the soil’s ability to sequester carbon.
Lauren Sommer of KQED's QUEST program sat down with ESD's Bill Collins to learn about how faster supercomputers will help scientists run climate simulations.
