In a paper published in the journal Respiratory Research, a team mapped wildfire smoke exposure across New Mexico at a 1x1 kilometer resolution, using estimated air quality data combined with satellite imagery.
A global research effort shows that extreme, prolonged drought conditions in grasslands and shrublands would greatly limit the long-term health of crucial ecosystems that cover nearly half the planet.
What would happen if a volcano were to erupt tomorrow in New Mexico? How prepared as we as a society for an event like this to occur
New research conducted by scientists at The University of New Mexico suggests climate-driven tree mortality and fuel aridity are increasing fuel availability in forests leading to record-breaking wildfires in size, spread and plume formation.
Two of the most destructive forces of nature – earthquakes and tsunamis – might be more of a threat than current estimates according to a new study.
She hopes this research will provide answers to historical inquiries, as well as reveal answers to current issues regarding global climate change.
The University of New Mexico saw a way to give Native American communities the tools to better anticipate the dangers they themselves know best.
New research in the Sierra Nevada reveals that prior fire events and their limitation effects on burnable forest fuel do not last long and are not as large as expected, including under climate change. The research can help with risk management planning by informing how long experts can expect another fire to occur.
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.
