S1E2 - Erin Matula (Forests, Fires, and Carbon - Oh My!)

Erin Matula is an M.Sc. student in the ENLS department studying carbon cycling in boreal forests - the twist? She's investigating how wildfires in these forests release tons of carbon into watersheds and contribute to climate change in ways you may not expect! Climate change is a horror that's coming for us all - from invasive species in wetlands to fires in forests, Erin takes us on a tour of some of the very real impacts climate change is having in our own backyards (don't worry, there are some laughs and LoTR goodness along the way)!  Links related to our guest: Contact Erin: [email protected] or http://www.linkedin.com/in/ Erin's Interview with WXPR: https://tinyurl.com/4ppnf376 More about Dr. Andrew Tanentzap's Research: https://www.ecosystemchange.com/ More about Dr. Eric Emilson's Research: https://glfc-wet.github.io/ Links related to FoTR Podcast: Links to all Sound Bytes used in the podcast can be found at: tinyurl.com/2jhevzpj Find us on Instagram: @fotrpodcast Follow us on Twitter: @FOTRPodcast Contact us: [email protected]
