UrduA significant study has mapped the genetic complexity of Populus cathayana, an ecologically and economically valuable poplar species. By creating a detailed genome assembly and analyzing genetic variation across diverse wild populations, the research sheds light on the species’ evolution and adaptation capabilities, particularly in high-altitude environments. This genetic insight is key for conservation strategies and developing resilient tree species for future forest sustainability.

Mekong Environment Resilience Week: Solutions for Southeast Asia’s Environmental Issues
The Social Research Institute of Chulalongkorn University, in collaboration with the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) Asia, and with support from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), held the Mekong Environment Resilience Week, celebrating SEI Asia’s 20th anniversary.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Marine Policy Center Releases Coastal Resilience and Sea Level Rise Workshop Report
New report released during NY Climate Week and upcoming UN General Assembly high-level plenary meeting on threats posed by sea level rise
Illinois scientists to revamp corn breeding with focus on climate resilience
The USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture is investing in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research that could expedite the development of climate-resilient corn.
90% of Floridians Believe Climate Change is Happening
FAU’s latest “Florida Climate Resilience Survey” found that 90% of Floridians believe that climate change is happening. Belief in human-caused climate change has surged among Florida Independents while slipping among Republicans. Despite these changes, the survey found enduring support among Floridians for increased government action to address the consequences of a warming planet.
Study led by ORNL informs climate resilience strategies in urban, rural areas
Local decision-makers looking for ways to reduce the impact of heat waves on their communities have a valuable new capability at their disposal: a new study on vegetation resilience.
At the Climate READi workshop: Resilient power systems in the context of climate change
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and other institutions joined industry stakeholders in exploring solutions for power grid climate resilience at the Climate READi Southeast workshop co-hosted by EPRI and ORNL’s Water Power Program on April 10-11.
Florida Wildlife Corridor Eases Worst Impacts of Climate Change
Florida is projected to lose 3.5 million acres of land to development by 2070. A new study highlights how Florida can buffer itself against both climate change and population pressures by conserving the remaining 8 million acres of “opportunity areas” within the Florida Wildlife Corridor (FLWC), the only designated statewide corridor in the U.S.
UNC Collaborates on Regional NSF-Funded Initiative on Climate Resilience
Up to $160 million available over the next 10 years to build climate-resilient communities in the Colorado-Wyoming region
Firsthand fieldwork: Getting mangroves into coastal models for better climate prediction
To better understand important dynamics at play in flood-prone coastal areas, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists working on simulations of Earth’s carbon and nutrient cycles paid a visit to experimentalists gathering data in a Texas wetland.
Revelation and Resilience After Superstorm Sandy: Experts Discuss Extreme Weather, Hurricane Ida and Impact on Climate Change
Rutgers has resources, experts and stories on the impacts for any of your Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Ida and climate-related coverage. Please let me know if you’d like to speak with an expert or discuss work and research related to climate…
Climate Change Consensus Endures in Florida
Seven sequenced surveys since October 2019 paint a comprehensive picture of Floridians’ climate resilience attitudes during a period of particularly dynamic political, economic and environmental events. Climate change has emerged as an abiding and cross-cutting issue in Florida.
Taking it to the streets: ORNL models climate solutions for U.S. cities
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are deploying their broad expertise in climate data and modeling to create science-based mitigation strategies for cities stressed by climate change as part of two U.S. Department of Energy Urban Integrated Field Laboratory projects.
New class aims to foster climate-savvy leaders
The University of Miami is offering its first cross-disciplinary course focused on climate resilience and taught by a variety of key faculty members from across the institution.
Insects struggle to adjust to extreme temperatures making them vulnerable to climate change, study finds
As more frequent and intense heat waves expose animals to temperatures outside of their normal limits, an international team led by researchers at the University of Bristol studied over 100 species of insect to better understand how these changes will likely affect them.
Microbes enhance resilience of carbon-rich peatlands to warming
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory discovered that certain bacteria increase the climate resilience of Sphagnum moss, the tiny plant responsible for storing a third of the world’s soil carbon in peat bogs.
Living laboratory, biodiversity hub: The Oak Ridge National Environmental Research Park
Nestled at the intersection of eastern Tennessee’s Anderson and Roane Counties, the Oak Ridge National Environmental Research Park is a living laboratory and a major resource for conducting ecological studies.
