Measuring and reporting annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is the foundation of effective climate action. CARML is working to improve the transparency, relevance, and rigor of GHG emissions quantification across the full value chain of corporations, organizations, and products.
Climate warming is transforming the Arctic, and this transformation threatens global climate, infrastructure, and local communities. Polar Explorer is a novel, interactive digital learning environment to teach the next generation of leaders about how the Arctic is changing and why these changes have significant consequences for the U.S. and the rest of the world.
The carbon in permafrost is increasingly vulnerable to climate change. As climate warms and permafrost thaws, the release of previously frozen carbon to the atmosphere has huge implications for the global carbon cycle and the trajectory of climate change. CARML is working to improve model predictions of this important permafrost-carbon feedback.
Extreme climate events leave a lasting imprint on terrestrial ecosystems, with serious implications for the global carbon cycle. As climate continues to warm, there is an increased occurrence and severity of climatic extremes. CARML is working with a team of researchers to improve understanding of the impacts of these extreme events on the terrestrial carbon cycle, particularly in arid and semi-arid ecosystems.
