Geoscience Department Seminar: Quantifying the role that terrestrial ecosystems play in Earth's climate
Speaker: Dr. Abigail Swann.
Time: 3:00pm, preceded at 2:30pm by cookies and coffee in the lobby of the Environmental Research Building.
Location: Engineering Building, room 103,
Abstract: Biologists have widely documented how the local environment influences plants. Recent findings suggest, surprisingly, that the reverse is also true: plant distribution and functioning control the local energy balance at Earth’s surface and directly modify regional and global scale climate. In this talk I will discuss how plants modify the climate system and its response to external forcing. We will investigate the sensitivity of the atmosphere to changes in plant cover, in particular the location of plant cover change. We will also explore the role that plant responses to a changing climate can further modify climate. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that ecosystems and climate must be considered together as a coupled system, particularly when assessing the response of the climate system to change.
Dr. Swann holds joint appointments in the Departments of Atmospheric Science and Biology at the University of Washington. She received the PhD degree in Atmospheric Science from UC Berkeley in 2010, was awarded an NSF CAREER award in 2016, and was just named an Early Career Fellow by the Ecological Society of America earlier this month.
