#ICYMI Kudos to these exceptional high school students who are already standing out in geographical sciences, their teachers and parents! w/ Dean @srivera_tw & Prof @georgehurtt ✨ Read about our HS Awards '24: go.umd.edu/hs-awards-24

Climate change could become the dominant driver of biodiversity decline by mid-century 🐠. In the 20th century, however, land-use change was the most important driver. These are the results of a large modelling study by iDiv, @UniHalle & others in @ScienceMagazine. 1/X

Excited to contribute to the first National Nature Assessment! @usgcrp @umdgeography @bsosumd @UMDscience @UMD_GEL #NNA1

🌎Happy Earth Day! There is much we can do and be hopeful for, said Professor @GeorgeHurtt, associate chair of the Department of Geographical Sciences. #ClimateAction #EarthDay #Sustainability

How can the U.S. land sector contribute to our climate goals? @AmericaisAllin's new multi-model analysis shows that an "All-In" climate strategy can cut U.S. net emissions from forests and farmland by 72% by 2035, w/ @georgehurtt + @leima8815 americaisallin.com/harnessing-the…

We're thrilled to announce DeepED, the AI-driven model for Ecosystem Demography (EDv3), part of NASA's CMS and GEDI mission. DeepED transforms ecosystem modeling, enabling advanced, scalable computations and extensive projections, marking a new epoch in global carbon monitoring.
