Soil moisture is a critical component when researching how climate change is impacting mountain hydrology and ecology. In our recently published paper in Water Resources Research, we explain AGCI's role in providing basline data for how we collect and share soil moisture and weather observations.

Read this interview with one of the co-authors of our new Organizing Inclusive Scientific Meetings
guide in Nature News: "How to counter ‘manels’ and make scientific meetings more inclusive."

In partnership with 500 Women Scientists and the Earth Science Women's Network, we held a workshop in 2018 focused on how to organize more inclusive scientific meetings and conferences. The meeting resulted in the development of a guide to follow when planning and organizing scientific meetings, and it can now be read, downloaded, and referenced online.

The Aspen Times

In an article discussing drought in the Roaring Fork Valley, CO, the Aspen Times features AGCI's workshop When the Rain Stops: Drought on Subseasonal and Longer Timescales. The article quotes workshop co-chair Angeline Greene Pendergrass in its discussion over the future climate projections for Colorado, amidst the topics of wildfires, recreation, and water restrictions.

Roger Pulwarty, AGCI's 2018 Walter Orr Roberts public lecturer in association with the AGCI workshop When the Rain Stops: Drought on Subseasonal and Longer Timescales, is interviewed by Aspen Public Radio in advance of his public lecture titled, From Droughts to Floods and Back Again? Learning and Adapting in an Uncertain Climate, hosted at the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies.

An article was published in the journal Science today based on the key takeaway's from the 2016 AGCI Workshop Getting Near Zero: Decarbonizing the Last 20%. The workshop was co-chaired by Ken Caldeira, Steve Davis, and Nate Lewis, and identified technology solutions to the most difficult to decarbonize parts of the economy, including heavy industry, cement, long distance heavy transport, and aviation.
