Heather Coleman was recently quoted a The New Yorker article about climate trades.

Tavis Forrester has signed on to an initiative in Costa Rica to create the first regional network of citizen science supported camera traps to monitor big cats and their prey's activities. From National Geographic:

Dave Kramer and a colleague were recently invited to speak at Darmouth about what it takes to make green development stick in Latin America: Resilience. It certainly wasn’t the first word we ever uttered at Dartmouth as very green undergraduates, but it defined our time there in different ways. From the survival lessons brutally served up by first New Hampshire winters to the taste of a whole new level of academic rigor and competition, Dartmouth has a way of forcing people to step up to the plate.

Resilience. It certainly wasn’t the first word we ever uttered at Dartmouth as very green undergraduates, but it defined our time there in different ways.

Young researchers could soon be helping to shape science policy in developing nations, with a number of them contributing to the UN's recent prototype Global Sustainable Development Report - a planned one-stop shop for science advice. The report's 'science digest' section provides overviews of subjects such as ocean acidification for senior government officials and policymakers. It was compiled and peer reviewed by young researchers, with input from more experienced scientists.
