Building tangible, replicable, and inclusive environmental solutions

This week (August 5-14), representatives from the United Nations will begin final negotiations to establish a global treaty on plastic pollution. This is a historic opportunity to drastically reduce plastic pollution across the world. 

Lucia Layritz, a postdoctoral researcher on our team, recently published a new paper in Biogeosciences that examines how climate change and increasing disturbances, like wildfires, are impacting the future of boreal forests. She completed this research as part of her dissertation at the School of Life Science, Technical University of Munich (TUM). 

Faculty Co-Director Douglas McCauley highlighted findings from DSE's recent research on challenges and opportunities to end global plastic pollution.
