Consequences
Climate change: causes, effects and predictions
Junio 30, 2023
Almost everything we do in some way contributes to climate change.
Tipping point
Tropical forests may be approaching a critical high-temperature threshold, but there is still time to act
Agosto 23, 2023
A new study in Nature combining satellite thermal- and in situ warming data found that a percentage of tropical leaves are already reaching the temperatures at which they can no longer function.
Critical conservation sites
The highlands of Panama, Central Panama and Darien identified among the 50 Threatened Amphibian Landscapes worldwide
Octubre 19, 2023
A groundbreaking study assessed the extinction risk of more than 8,000 amphibian species worldwide and concluded that two out of five amphibians are threatened.
GEO-Trees
A revolution in forest carbon verification
Noviembre 27, 2023
The new GEO-TREES initiative addresses the uncertainty of satellite estimates of forest carbon by creating a trustworthy global carbon verification system based on existing collaborations among scientists at forest research sites worldwide. Supported by the Bezos Earth Fund, all data will be available free, online.
Scientist
Martijn Slot
In my lab we try to understand how climate change affects tropical forests by studying how environmental factors influence the physiology and ecology of tropical trees and lianas. We are interested in identifying threshold temperatures for various aspects of plant performance, including carbon...
Scientist
Roberto Ibañez
My primary research focus is on Panamanian frogs that are likely extinct in the wild due to a fungal infection but are kept alive in captive breeding programs in Panama and the United States. Our lab has collected founding individuals for these amphibian colonies, devised methods to sustainably...
Measuring mangroves
Understanding Panama’s blue carbon stock
Mayo 09, 2024
Smithsonian researchers collaborated with stakeholders to share mangrove carbon accounting techniques and learn about their importance in mitigating climate change.
Relational science
Centering relationships between people and place: A critical step towards improving science's contributions to society
Junio 05, 2024
Marine conservation scientists advocate for a cultural shift in academia that fosters deeper connections with places of study and encourages collaboration with local communities to make science more equitable
Half a century
From aquarist to star inventor
Febrero 05, 2020
What started as a student summer job, became Anibal Velarde’s life’s work. Over fifty years later, he is still at the Smithsonian
