Examining and addressing global environmental changes
关于我们
Our Mission: To make fundamental contributions to the advancement of geographic science by: ? Conducting disciplinary and integrative research in the physical and social sciences that spans local to global scales, with an emphasis on a geospatial perspective of our changing planet and its sustainability. ? Equipping undergraduate and graduate students to meet the challenges associated with the continuing evolution of geographic science while providing them with vibrant and fulfilling educational experiences. ? Applying geographic science to societal and environmental issues in our state, the nation and the global community. Our Vision: To lead the development of academic, educational, and research directions of human and natural systems, land cover/and land use change and geospatial information science, harnessing the integrative nature of geographic science to answer fundamental questions of global importance.

I'm glad that after 3.5 years and 6 rounds of reviews, our tundra fire paper has finally been published in Nature Plants. This paper focuses on the relationship between fire and greening, two processes that have undergone substantial changes in the tundra over recent decades. https://lnkd.in/e8f5fJmm Abstract: Arctic tundra has experienced rapid warming, outpacing global averages, leading to significant greening whose primary drivers include widespread shrubification. Here we confirm that a fire–greening positive feedback loop is evident across the Alaskan tundra, and evidence suggests that this feedback loop is dominated by the fire–shrub interactions. We show that tundra wildfires, especially those with higher severity, play a critical role in boosting the overall greening of the tundra, often by enhancing upright deciduous shrub growth or establishment but sometimes by inducing increases in other vascular biomass. In addition, fire–greening interactions vary greatly within different tundra subregions, a likely consequence of the spatial heterogeneity in vegetation composition, climatic and geophysical conditions.

Did you know the wealthiest 20% of global consumers cause 51%-91% of environmental strain? ???? By shifting spending on food and services, they could cut their impact by up to 53%, offering a path to restoring Earth's balance.
