Environmental stewardship groups are vital to thriving, climate-ready communities. Drawing on 20 years of U.S. Forest Service data from the Stewardship Mapping and Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) and social infrastructure research, this panel will examine findings from a forthcoming report by Yale School of the Environment scholars. Panelists will discuss how local care networks build climate res...
Join the Water LC in welcoming Humna Sharif, Climate Resilience and Adaptation Director at The Nature Conservancy (Maryland/DC Chapter) and YSE alum, in-person at YSE! Humna leads climate adaptation strategy for The Nature Conservancy’s Maryland/DC chapter, advancing nature-based solutions that help communities prepare for flooding, sea-level rise, and other climate impacts. Her work focuses on...

Join us for an introduction to map making using modern digital tools. We will briefly explore the concept of what a map is and how we use digital data to represent the geospatial world. The bulk of the workshop will be spent creating a map using the geospatial tool of your choice: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, or the R software language. We will cover aligning geospatial data (coordinate reference systems)...
Beginning in the 1950s with Congo's mountain gorillas, field biologist George Schaller revolutionized wildlife science by going to live with Earth’s most feared and revered creatures, from the great cats (tigers, lions, snow leopards, jaguars) to pandas, Tibetan brown bears, Gobi wild camels and many more. Before Jane Goodall or Dian Fossey, he was the first to reveal these primates and predato...

Estimates of the direct land area required by energy technologies began as rough approximations built on limited data from literature. Methods have rapidly advanced in the past decade—from supervised classification to deep learning of earth observation imagery—enabling a greater understanding of the land implications of energy decisions across spatial and temporal scales.
