This Spartan geographer maps how much carbon dioxide different tree types capture for better climate modeling

Why is the eastern monarch butterfly disappearing? A Spartan-led research team has uncovered an answer — at least for the most recent population decline — with a huge assist from volunteers Michigan State University ecologists led an international research partnership of professional and volunteer scientists to reveal new insights into what’s driving the already-dwindling population of eastern monarch butterflies even lower.   Between 2004 and 2018, changing climate at the monarch’s sp...

Researchers are bringing science to bear on the question and consequences of humans using technology to put the brakes on global warming. Nine of the hottest years in human history have occurred in the past decade. Without a major shift in this climate trajectory, the future of life on Earth is in question, but is geoengineering a cooler Earth the way to go? “There is a dearth of knowledge about the effects of climate intervention on ecology,” says Phoebe Zarnetske, associate professor in t...
