☀️ Reflecting on an incredible experience at the 2024 Sun Valley Forum: Restoring Harmony with Nature. The insights, connections, and action plans we developed are inspiring. Our Director Dr. R. Max Holmes spoke with meteorologist Chase Cain on leveraging nature to build strategies that scale while Senior Scientist Dr. Jennifer Francis interviewed Dr. Ron Dembo on uncovering and measuring risk. Thanks to our partners Sun Valley Forum and Christensen Global for a great event. #SunValleyForum #ActOnClimate #Resilience

Great feedback and review from Edith Punt, Kenneth Field, and Nathan Shephard on my Alaska map in this episode of Mappy Hour (15:35). Now the idea seed has been planted... just how big should I print this map?! #esriuc2024 https://lnkd.in/eKdgeeDi

🌲In boreal forests, it’s estimated that 80 to 90% of all carbon is stored belowground. The aboveground forest helps to protect belowground carbon from warming, thaw, decay, and erosion. Here’s how the world’s different forests help keep the world cool, and how we can help keep them standing. 📖: https://lnkd.in/eeRR2Wx9

Rapid warming in the Arctic — three to four times faster than the global average — is accelerating the release of Arctic greenhouse gas emissions. Total methane and carbon emissions from thawing permafrost and other sources remain uncertain and largely unaccounted for in global carbon budgets, rendering countries’ emissions targets inaccurate. Despite these uncertainties, even moderate projections for Arctic emissions could undermine the world’s ability to cap warming at 2 degrees Celsius. Hear from Harvard Professor Henry Lee of Harvard's Belfer Center, Environmental Defense Fund Chief Scientist Steven Hamburg, Woodwell Climate Research Center Senior Scientist Sue Natali, and Harvard Kennedy School Professor John Holdren about what can be done. 📺 Watch the panel here: https://bit.ly/4bK1mGT #HarvardClimateActionWeek #ArcticWarming

☀️🏔️ The #SunValleyForum has begun! 🌱 We began our opening session with incredible leaders: call to action from Xiye Bastida (Executive Director at Re-Earth Initiative), historical insights with Her Deepness Sylvia Earle (Founder and Chairman of Mission Blue / Sylvia Earle Alliance), mitigating future risks with Dr. Ron Dembo (Founder and CEO of riskthinking.AI), accelerating innovation with Fred Krupp (President of the Environmental Defense Fund), scaling solutions with Dave Chen (CEO of Equilibrium), deals for nature with Melissa Garvey (Director of the Nature Bonds Program at The Nature Conservancy), science to solutions with R. Max Holmes (President and CEO of the Woodwell Climate Research Center), aligning on nature with Deborah Brosnan (President and CEO of Deborah Brosnan & Associates), restoring harmony with Justin Winters (Co-Founder and Executive Director of One Earth), and a call in from youth leaders in Hawai'i. 🎥 Can’t be at the Sun Valley Forum in person?

Here’s another #MapMonday by Greg Fisk showing the number of days over 100 degrees so far this year - and how that has deviated from the mean temperature. In a meteorologist briefing in June, Dr. Jennifer Francis talked about why extreme heat in North America would be persistent over the summer. “One factor is the ocean heatwaves which set up in particular areas and tend to form ridges in the jet stream in those areas,” said Dr. Francis. “We see that pattern repeat itself over and over again.”

How will North American forests change in the coming decade? This #MapMonday from Christina Shintani illustrates recent research from Woodwell Climate scientists who used machine learning methods and data from 25,000 forest sites across the U.S. and Canada to start answering that question. By creating near-term predictions of changes in aboveground biomass (AGB) in boreal and northern temperate forests, researchers were able to show that the future of these forests will vary by region. Most forests were predicted to gain biomass. However, some boreal forests are at a greater risk of tree mortality from losing AGB as temperatures rise over the next few decades. This means fewer trees- and less carbon - on the landscape, and likely signals the early stages of a northward boreal biome shift.
