Advancing the Science of Earth Energy and Carbon Exchanges

For decades, atmospheric scientists, environmental engineers, hydrologists, ecologists, and biogeochemists have sought ways to improve measurements and models of gas exchange between Earth’s surface and the atmosphere, including for water (evapotranspiration) and carbon (photosynthesis and...

Sea Change: Forecasting the Emergent Ecological Effects of Global Change in our Coastal Ecosystems

Professor Kroeker's research examines the ecological effects of climate change and ocean acidification on marine communities and ecosystems. Her talk will focus on the importance of incorporating interactions, between multiple stressors and species, in the study of the emergent effects of global...

Scientific Oversight of Climate Policy: Lessons from California

Climate policy implementation is a technically, economically, and legally complex process that involves decision-making under uncertainty and political tradeoffs in the face of diverse stakeholder pressures. Reality often diverges from expectations, and opacity...

Unraveling the Functional Diversity of Tropical Forests

Tropical forests have fascinated ecologists and the public for centuries because of their extraordinary diversity at both local and regional scales. Recent attention has also recognized the critical role that tropical forests play in mitigating global carbon cycling and has underlined the...

Climate Extremes at 1.5°C vs 2°C Global Warming:
The IPCC SR15 Report and Underlying Evidence

In this presentation I will provide an overview on changes in climate extremes at 1.5°C vs 2°C global warming, as assessed in the recent IPCC special report on 1.5°C global warming. In particular, I will address the differences in climate extremes that...

Drivers of Change in Estuarine-Coastal Ecosystems: Discoveries from Five Decades of Study in San Francisco Bay

Observations made in San Francisco Bay over the past half century illustrate ecosystem responses to six common drivers of change where land and sea meet: river damming, water management, introduction of nonnative species, sewage input, environmental policies, and multidecadal climate shifts....

Plant Traits and the Importance of Individual-based Competition

Competition among individuals and across species has long been recognized as an important driver of plant form and function. Few concepts in ecology are as classic and appealing as the concept of "a ghost of competition past" (Connell 1980). This idea has served us well in explaining...

From Remote Sensing of Environment to Virtual Reality

Remote sensing has long played an important role in quantifying vegetation structural patterns and temporal dynamics, but scale mismatches persist between what can be characterized remotely and the sphere where ecological mechanisms operate. Innovative advances in sensor engineering, computer...
