The Fate of the Terrestrial Biosphere Under a Changing Climate
One of the largest uncertainties in projections of future climate change is the role of terrestrial ecosystems in contributing to or mediating the rise in atmospheric CO2. At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), we are working on understanding these effects and impacts through satellite remote sensing and supercomputer modeling. In this talk, Dr. Fisher will give an overview of the latest remote sensing datasets and model developments from JPL, and discuss new insights into the behavior and understanding of terrestrial ecosystems in a changing climate.
