Researchers are measuring the effects of tundra fires on the ecosystem’s carbon balance and permafrost.
Scientists traveled to Alaska to identify the start of evergreen trees' growing season—an important indicator of a forest’s productivity.
In summer 2022, the G-LiHT team made flights from Kodiak and Anchorage with an airborne instrument designed to map forested landscapes.
It’s been six years since the CYGNSS constellation was launched. Over that time, it has grown from a two-year mission measuring winds in major ocean storms into a mission with a broad and expanding variety of goals and objectives. They range from how ocean surface heat flux affects mesoscale convection and precipitation to how wetlands […]
Exposure to a new field that sparks curiosity can change the course of someone’s life.
Indigenous representatives from across the Amazon met with geographers seeking to better understand how climate change is affecting the region.
In August, scientists returned to the field to measure tundra plants during the peak of summer growth.
Students retrieved and analyzed leaves form the tops of trees—the same part of the forest that is observed by instruments on the International Space Station.
Teaching and telling others about science is what keeps Alex Haughton coming into work.
