Geographer Florencia Sangermano and her global colleagues conduct research on how Indigenous lands in the Amazon region help buffer and protect humans from forest fire-related illnesses and, in many cases, animal- and insect-borne diseases.
How do you measure global health? How can partnerships work toward improving health outcomes that are more equitable? Anthropologist Ellen Foley works to elevate the voices of experts from the Global South who explore those questions.
The Arctic of the future figures to be warmer, stormier, and greener than ever imagined, says polar scientist Karen Frey, a longtime contributor to and a lead author on the annual Arctic Report Card, established by NOAA two decades ago.
Biologist Chandra Jack studies plant microbe interactions, examining how microbes influence traits such as when a plant flowers or whether it can compete against neighboring vegetation, and applies that knowledge to sustainable agriculture.
For evolutionary biologist Erin McCullough, the mating rituals of dung beetles are not only fascinating, they also can provide a window into understanding how climate change might affect biodiversity.
Biologist Nathan Ahlgren is investigating how iron nourishes and shapes the adaptation of Synechococcus, a marine phytoplankton and a key driver to the photosynthesis that generates as much as 15 percent of the oxygen we breathe.
For years, David Hibbett, the Andrea B. and Peter D. Klein Distinguished Professor of Biology, has worked to unlock the secrets of mushrooms. Now, he and fellow biologist Javier Tabima Restrepo are working with students to research the fungal genus Lentinus.
After the Inflation Reduction Act, one of the most ambitious investments in climate and energy in U.S. history was signed into law, Samuel Cooper ’24 was curious how New England would benefit compared to the rest of the country.
As efforts to restore tree cover accelerate to help avoid runaway climate change, a study by two Clark researchers highlights how restoring tree cover can, in some locations, heat up the Earth rather than cool it.
Working with NASA and IBM, Clark’s Center for Geospatial Analytics has produced the world’s first geospatial AI foundation model, allowing scientists to more quickly understand the impacts of climate change — and how humans might adapt.
