Torn and Vaughn Contribute to New Soil Carbon Study

September 23, 2016

Soil excavation

Margaret Torn and Lydia Vaughn (picture not available) of the Climate & Ecosystem Sciences Division contributed to a paper in the journal Science that found that soil will absorb far less atmospheric carbon than expected during the 21st century. The research, led by scientists from UC Irvine, was conducted by adding highly accurate radiocarbon dating…

SOS – Save Our Soils!

August 2, 2016

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is issuing a national Call to Action and forming an interagency group to protect America’s soil. Soil plays critical roles in food security, climate mitigation, ecosystem function, and buffering against extreme weather events. Although it is essential for the stability of the planet, soil is…

SpaceX Rocket Carries Chernobyl Fungi Into Space

July 28, 2016

The eight species of fungi on board, which are descended from microbes collected at Chernobyl, may one day lead the way to a “sunblock” that could protect human space travelers from the harmful radiation of space. The microbes were originally collected by Tamas Torok a scientist affiliated with the Climate and Ecosystems Sciences Division. “Some…

Berkeley Lab to Lead the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area

July 11, 2016

East River, Colorado

Berkeley Lab will lead the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (SFA) to quantify how perturbations to mountainous watershed—floods, drought, fire and early snowmelt—impact the downstream delivery of water, nutrients, carbon, and metals. Researchers will observe and model watershed response to perturbations over seasonal to decadal timeframes, and from genome to watershed scales. The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of…
