GHG from Land-Use Changes
Andy Jones, Bill Collins, and Margaret Torn recently showed that, within climate models, when the effects of agricultural expansion are balanced by atmospheric carbon dioxide, changes in the timing of climate change result.
Read MoreCatching Soil Evaporation in Models
Recognizing that soil evaporation is one of the few ways the land surface returns water to the atmosphere, ESD’s Jinyun Tang and Bill Riley describe the implementation of a new bare-soil evaporation formulation for climate models.
Read MoreCESM: A Powerful Climate Model
ESD’s Bill Collins is one of a number of climate scientists recently active in developing the Community Earth System Model (CESM)—an enhanced model that enables investigations into a wide range of pressing scientific questions.
Read MoreCapturing Extremes: The CASCADE SFA
The new CASCADE SFA, headed by ESD’s Bill Collins, will determine how human-induced global warming is altering climate extremes, and how further warming will alter “strange weather” in the future.
Read MoreHonoring Women @ the Lab!
ESD Director Susan Hubbard was among 15 women scientists honored at Berkeley Lab, as part of a celebration of women science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workers researching ways to change the world for the better.
Read MoreESD Site Environmentally Stellar
The Earth Sciences Division was recently awarded “LEED Platinum” status for its newly redesigned headquarters in Building 74—the first such award for any Berkeley Lab or DOE building within the Science Laboratory Infrastructure program.
Read MoreIPCC: Climate Change Is Coming!
ESD's Bill Collins is part of a group of scientists (headed by LBNL's Michael Wehner) who find big changes in store for Earth's climate, in the latest IPCC report.
Read MoreRifle–A Community Site of Discovery and Accomplishment
The Rifle, Colorado, floodplain provides an excellent test bed for interrogating how global change affects biogeochemical system functioning. This work will be essential for the new BER-funded SFA 2.0, Phase I effort at Rifle.
