Woodwell Climate conducts #ClimateScienceForChange but what does that look like? Here’s some of our last couple months from the lens of people making it happen. Tag us and #ClimateScienceForChange to be featured next month. 1️⃣ Dr. Brendan Rogers, Dr. Peter Frumhoff, and Dr. Kayla Mathes traveled to Alaska to visit the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge to follow up on previous work which helped protect 1.6 million acres. (Frumhoff) 2️⃣ Greg Fiske’s Alaska map was featured during the Mappy Time Hour at the ESRI User Conference. (ESRI) 3️⃣ Woodwell Climate’s 2024 Intern Cohort toured Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. (Tara Ann Broadhurst) 4️⃣ Dr. Manoela Machado presented her fire impacts work at the ATBC 2024 Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda. (Machado) 5️⃣ Dr. Heather Goldstone moderated a panel on art-science collaboration with Woodwell Climate scientists Dr. Sue Natali and Dr. Jennifer Watts and artists Aaron Dysart, Georgia Nassikas, Gabrielle Russomagno, Michaela Grill, Karl Lemieux, and Greg Fiske.

🌲 The methane cycling in northern forests workshop kicked off yesterday at the University of Maine. Woodwell Climate’s Kathleen Savage and Dr. Jennifer Watts put together the conference as part of their three-year methane flux project, funded by the National Science Foundation. Throughout the week, participants will present their research, brainstorm avenues for future research, and venture into Howland Research Forest. Stay tuned for more updates from the workshop!

Congratulations to all our 2024 summer interns. Thank you for all your hard work!
Woodwell Climate Research Center 2024 Summer Internship social mixer with supervisors, mentors, staff, interns and their family & friends on the porch. They all did a fabulous job on their presentations. We are so proud of the 15 interns in our program, on-site and remote at the Center this summer. What a pleasure it has been to get to know all our interns!

#opinion The climate crisis is fundamentally a water crisis. The Amazon is experiencing worsening climate impacts, with an increase in droughts and floods due to global warming. Water, not just carbon, plays a crucial role in climate stability, influencing global weather patterns. There is an urgent need for climate solutions that manage water resources and reduce carbon emissions to protect the ecosystems and communities of the Amazon. We recommend reading the opinion article by Dr. Marcia Nunes Macedo, a Senior Scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center. In the article, she states, ‘No doubt carbon emissions alter global climate, but the water cycle is the engine that drives it, connecting the land surface, oceans, and atmosphere. Climate warming is now supercharging this engine and intensifying extreme droughts, floods, and water insecurity. The local impacts of climate change highlight the imperative for climate solutions that prioritize water alongside efforts to mitigate carbon emissions.’ For more information, read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/e-H6N86B #climateaction #watercrisis #naturebasedsolutions #naturepositive

We were proud to sponsor another great year at the Woods Hole Film Festival - an event that brings science-focused films to festival screens to improve public engagement with science. 🎥 We adopted five films: Brief Tender Light, Water for Life / Agua es Vida, Counted Out, Stewart Udall and the Politics of Beauty, and Gath and K’iyh: Listen to Heal 🎥 Our scientists introduced films and moderated panel discussions. 🎥 We shared thoughts about the critical and evolving role of storytelling in addressing the climate crisis.

Early extremes like hurricane #Beryl and tropical storm #Debby foretell an intense Atlantic hurricane season. This #MapMonday by Christina Shintani shows how climate change is affecting storms. Rising global temperatures have created the conditions for deadlier storms—meaning more category 3-5 storms and more big storms back-to-back. Since 1975 the number of category 4-5 cyclones has roughly doubled. Read more at https://lnkd.in/ey4xFNGc

Forests continue to play a critical role in efforts to mitigate climate change by absorbing massive amounts of carbon. According to a study published last month in the journal Nature, global forests absorbed an average of 3.5 billion metric tons of carbon per year between 1990 and 2019, despite these ecosystems' loss of resilience due to deforestation, wildfires, disease, and the effects of climate change. This uptake is equivalent to nearly half of the carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels during those three decades. The findings are based on long-term ground measurements combined with remote sensing data. Some other takeaways: 🌲 Boreal forests in places like Alaska, Canada, and Russia have experienced a 36% decline in their carbon sink capacity due to wildfires, insect outbreaks, degradation, and soil warming. 🌴 Tropical forests' sequestration is net neutral, with a 31% loss from deforestation and degradation mostly offset by forest recovery. 🍃 Temperate forests have seen a 30% increase in their carbon sink capacity due to reforestation efforts—particularly in China—and natural recovery. "The persistence of the global forest carbon sink was a surprise given global increases in wildfire, drought, logging, and other stressors," said Richard Birdsey of the Woodwell Climate Research Center in a statement. "But it turns out that increasing emissions in some regions were balanced by increasing accumulation in other regions, mainly re-growing tropical forests and reforestation of temperate forests. These findings support the potential for improving protection and management of forests as effective natural climate solutions." 🔬Yude Pan, The enduring world forest carbon sink, Nature (2024).
