Raghu Murtugudde was an invited expert on Land Sources for Marine Ecosystem Variability, EU-COST Working Group, Istanbul, December 9. On December 29 and 30 he gave invited talks at the National institute of Oceanography (NIO),Vizhag, India on “Regional Earth System Prediction for Coastal Carbon Management” and “Dynamic and Thermodynamic Coupling and Ecosystem-biogeochemical Responses to Climate Change” respectively. On January 1, again at NIO-Vizhag, he talked on “Earth, Life, and …
Tony Busalacchi and Raghu Murtugudde were quoted in PhysOrg, December 6, in an article on ESSIC’s Chesapeake Bay Forecasting System (CBFS). The CBFS focuses on research that looks at how all the earth’s environmental systems fit together using data from NOAA, USGS, NASA and the USDA, as well as on-site sensors and satellite observations….
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The Chesapeake Bay “runs through the blood” of waterman Ben Parks and his son, Ben Parks II (above). Generations of Parks have fished the bay; have lived off the bounty that it provided. But Ben Parks has also seen the changes – the health of the Chesapeake has been declining for decades – and his family’s ability to make a living on its waters has declined as well. Pollution, disease, climate change, hurricanes, the impact of a growing number of humans living around the …
Ross Salawitch had his paper “A New Interpretation of Total Column BrO during Arctic Spring” featured on the cover of Geophysical Research Letters, November 16 edition. The work summarizes findings regarding atmospheric halogens by the internal team of scientists during Arctic field campaigns that were part of the International Polar Year….
