Communicating Climate Solutions SymposiumTimely, effective and culturally appropriate communication is needed to encourage development and adoption of sustainable climate actions that mitigate the impacts of climate change. Toward this effort, our symposium will bring together journalists, researchers, community leaders, local officials and politicians to identify opportunities and best practices for developing and communicating ...
Over the past five years, we have implemented continuous eDNA surveys across three major hydroelectric reservoirs in Brazil, demonstrating the power of metabarcoding to capture aquatic biodiversity with precision and efficiency. Building on this experience, we are now extending our efforts to test the representativeness of eDNA samples from the ...
The Marine Mammal Center was established 50 years ago as a rehabilitation hospital for locally stranded marine mammals but over the past 30 years, our research has focused on the changing patterns of disease and the emergence of novel pathogens and threats. This temporal window coincides with the period of ...
Freshwater systems sit at the intersection of climate, environment, and society. Addressing their challenges requires approaches that combine rigorous science with real-world decision-making. My research investigates how human activity and hydroclimate variability shape water systems. I use data-driven approaches grounded in hydrologic theory and co-produced with water managers to address ...
On tap this month we have a talk from Steward Observatory graduate student Sophie Lebowitz, here to talk about how monster black holes shape our universe, and an extended Astronomy in the News segment by our resident news anchors and Steward Observatory postdocs Dr. Jackie Champagne & Dr. Danny Krolikowski!Watch ...
