Ecosystem Dynamics of Nature-Based Climate Solutions [Grad]

Nature-based climate solutions have gained increasing attention in the past decade as possible contributors to reducing our net carbon emissions to the atmosphere, without necessarily reducing gross emissions. Prominent nature-based solutions include forestation (reforestation, afforestation, plantation forestry), avoided deforestation, and soil carbon sequestration. This seminar includes weekly readings and discussion around themes in the management of ecosystem carbon storage.

This seminar is intended for Ph.D. students. It is open to master’s students and undergraduates by permission of the instructor only, based on a one- or two-paragraph description of interest in the course.
