How will Earth’s ecosystems respond to rising CO₂ levels and what does this mean for our future?
One of the biggest uncertainties in climate science is whether the terrestrial biosphere will absorb carbon or release it back into the atmosphere. This balance depends on complex interactions between water, temperature, nutrients, and more.
In this talk, Dr. Joshua B. Fisher will show how cutting-edge satellite and airborne observations, combined with climate models, are used to unravel these processes. Discover new insights into how Earth’s water, carbon, and nutrient cycles are interconnected—and how they shape our changing planet.
Dr. Joshua B. Fisher is a Climate Scientist focusing on terrestrial ecosystems, water, carbon, and nutrient cycling using a combination of remote sensing, supercomputer models, and field campaigns from the Amazon to the Arctic, with applications in water and ecosystem management, food security, wildfire, and environmental justice.
