The issue of climate change is considered by many to be THE most critical issue of our time, and extreme weather-related disasters continue to stack up week after week. Combating climate change will require a number of strategies, the most critical of which is the drastic reduction of fossil fuel emissions. But another key strategy is the use of nature-based climate solutions that allow the use and enhancement of existing natural resources to help remove carbon emissions from the air.
Two researchers from the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Assistant Professor Mallory Barnes and Professor Kim Novick, were recently awarded a three-year, $950,000 grant from NASA’s Carbon Monitoring System Program to propel innovative research into nature-based climate solutions focused on enhancing the precision of carbon sequestration estimates and bolstering our strategies to combat climate change.
We’re joined by Mallory Barnes, an expert in quantitative analysis and integration of ecological data across spatial and temporal scales. Barnes’s research and teaching focuses on environmental informatics, remote sensing, ecohydrology, natural resource management, ecological analytics, and geographic information systems.
