Lori Ziolkowski: Arctic permafrost: frozen tundra is hot stuff
Abstract: Over the past few decades, the global temperatures are rising. This warming is amplified in the Arctic, where soils currently contain twice as much carbon as is currently in the atmosphere. Lori will describe how a warmer Arctic may affect the global carbon cycle, and therefore the global climate.
Bio: Lori is an Assistant Professor at University of South Carolina. With degrees in Environment Chemistry, Chemical Oceanography and Earth System Science, Lori loves figuring out how the global carbon cycle and chemistry are related.
