As the planet continues to warm, marine heat waves are growing longer and deadlier, hurting the seafood supply that billions of people worldwide rely on for their food and livelihoods.
Jeffrey Freymueller is an internationally recognized expert in geodesy, or the study of Earth’s size and shape, and serves as MSU’s Endowed Chair for Geology of the Solid Earth.
Dr. Wong-Parodi is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Earth System Science at Stanford University and her presentation will focus on her work on community and individual decision-making in response to climate hazards.
Should humans, whose fossil fueled society is driving climate change, use technology to put the brakes on global warming?
Study uses big data to identify areas within fields where yield is unstable, conveying how big data and digital technology can help farmers adapt to climate threats.
New research shows that the highest canopy in the Amazon rainforest increases the amount of leaves during dry periods, and trees underneath do not lose leaves despite the extra shade. Surprisingly, small trees in low-shade areas lose them. The results show that a tree’s response to dryness relies on conditions imposed by the structure of the rainforest itself.
According to a new study, the short-term losses people suffer when natural disasters strike can turn into long-term poverty if reconstruction policies don’t consider how people are going to make a living. Areas rich in biodiversity raise those stakes even more as people’s needs compete with environmental protections.
Examining the daily minutia of climate, not just temperature, but also sunshine, precipitation and soil moisture simultaneously all over a country gives a better understanding of how variable a land's climate can be. That information is crucial when countries are setting policies aimed at growing food, protecting water supplies and the environment and stemming disease outbreaks.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
