Last month, Woodwell Climate and IPAM celebrated 20 years of Tanguro Research Station at the Tanguro Science Symposium in Brazil. The symposium brought together farmers, scientists, public authorities and indigenous peoples to share knowledge and discuss climate change impacts. “Bringing together this group of experts from science, civil society and from different places gives me hope and optimism,” said Woodwell Climate’s CEO Dr. Max Holmes. “The challenge for all of us is to take forward the big ideas around the climate solutions discussed.” 📖 Read more at https://lnkd.in/eCy5-8R3

Despite their widespread impact, ice wedges are often left out of Arctic climate change models, until now. As one of the three main features of the Arctic’s land surface, ice wedges are important to Arctic landscape research. Woodwell Climate’s Dr. Anna Liljedahl thinks utilizing AI could decrease computing time and allow models to factor in variables like ice wedges. 📖 Read this in-depth look at ice wedges and why they are important to climate change https://lnkd.in/d6n7XXTE

🗺️ Last week, Woodwell Climate cartographers and researchers were invited by collaborator Dawn Wright, PhD to attend the Esri conference as Science VIPs. Woodwell Climate maps were displayed, talked about, and awarded throughout the week. Thanks to ESRI - a critical partner in our work and research. #MapMonday Greg Fiske Christina Shintani

Trees are superheroes hidden in plain sight. The oldest, biggest trees are pulling the most weight, which gives old-growth forests across the world a critical role in mitigating climate change. Globally, forests absorb nearly 16 billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, and currently hold 861 gigatonnes of carbon in their branches, leaves, roots, and soils. This summer, we’re diving deep into our work in Mature and Old Growth forests. 🌳 Will you join us?

☀️ 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
