Read MoreSixteen GCSC faculty affiliates are part of the Utah team that will develop research and technology hubs to address water security and other effects of climate change in the arid Southwest. NSF Engines: Southwest Sustainability Innovation Engine (SWSIE) will seek to establish the Southwest as a leader in carbon capture, water security and renewable energy […]
Read MoreA new study by an international community of scientists reveals that today, atmospheric carbon dioxide is at its highest level in at least several million years thanks to widespread combustion of fossil fuels by humans over the past couple centuries. The study features key contributions by University of Utah geologists and GCSC faculty affiliates Gabe […]
Read MoreGCSC affiliate faculty Bill Anderegg, Sara Grineski, Tim Collins and colleagues have published a study looking at the potential effects of wildfire and tree mortality on property values in these areas in the U.S. Earth’s rapidly changing climate is taking an increasingly heavy toll on landscapes around the world in the form of floods, rising […]
Read MoreForests are engaged in a delicate, deadly dance with climate change, hosting abundant biodiversity and sucking carbon dioxide out of the air with billions of leafy straws. They can be a part of the climate solution as long as global warming, with its droughts, wildfires and ecosystem shifts, doesn’t kill them first. In a study […]
