Brown-MBL Study Estimates Future Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Brazilian Amazon State
In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of Brown and MBL scientists estimates future emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane in the Brazilian Amazon state of Mato Grosso, by combining 105 years of historical data on land-use changes with possible scenarios for future deforestation and land use in the region. The lead author of the study was Gillian Galford, a recent graduate of the Brown-MBL PhD program.

Tropical temperatures track glacial record for past 2.7M years
A recent study by Professor Tim Herbert and graduate student Laura Cleaveland uses sedimentary cores taken from the ocean floor in four locations to show that climate patterns in the tropics have mirrored Ice Age cycles for the last 2.7 million years and that carbon dioxide has played the leading role in determing global climate patterns.
