How can we use existing data to understand the vulnerability of the Baja peninsula to predicted sea level rise? I partnered with the Mexico Foundation for Nature Conservation (FMCN), the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur (UABCS), the National Laboratory of Sustainable Science (LANCIS) at the Autonomous University of México (UNAM), the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to develop and implement collaborative opportunities for knowledge sharing between scientists, policymakers, and local practitioners.

Kosovo, one of the world’s youngest countries, burns dirty lignite coal for electricity only a few miles from the capital city.
New stories of climate change impacts and local adaptations emerge daily, both in local news and academic publications. However, the information from local news and academic research rarely inform each other.
In tropical forests, local governments and organizations struggle to identify intact forest that remains in their region. The expense to constantly survey for change is limited by scale, terrain, density, and conflict. CLASlite, a satellite-based forest monitoring tool developed by Carnegie’s Department of Global Ecology, is free and can be used for conservation, carbon mapping, and biodiversity assessment.
To develop new solar generation in the US, development must follow protocols to protect the endangered wild plants and animals that live there.
