For UC Davis Ph.D. candidates Elisabeth Sellinger and Karolina Zabinski, resilience shows up in sediment cores and microbial communities, in carbon storage and stress responses, and also in career pivots, broken funding pipelines, and the uncertainty that shadows early-career science today.
As global emissions continue to climb, there is a growing call for rapidly reducing methane. UC Davis Professor Tessa Hill spoke about the benefits that can come from fast action on methane with the hosts of We Don’t Have Time during this year’s Climate Week NYC, held Sept 21-28.
