The Miller Lecture: Julie A. Winkler “Climate Change Impact Assessments for International Market Systems”
The vast majority of climate change impact assessments evaluate how local or regional systems and processes may be affected by a future climate. Alternative strategies that extend beyond the local or regional scale are needed when assessing the potential impacts of climate change on international market systems, including agricultural commodities. These industries have multiple production regions that are distributed worldwide and are likely to be differentially impacted by climate change.

Researchers hunting for Pennsylvania’s orphaned and abandoned wells
Like any good hunter, Nooreen Meghani knows how to read the signs that her prey is close. But deep in the Allegheny National Forest, she’s not following animal tracks — or any sign of life for that matter. Instead she traces the path of an old metal pipe running along the forest floor.
