Dr. David Lodge, director at the Environmental Change Initiative, and Jeanne Gang, principal architect at Studio Gang Architects, are both quoted in this interested article about the Chicago River. Gang visited Notre Dame in February to give a lecture hosted by Notre Dame Architecture and ECI.
Tundra fires are important because they have the potential to switch regions from being climate-cooling – thanks to their reflective white surface – to climate-warming. With this in mind, Adrian Rocha at the University of Notre Dame, US, and colleagues have sought to estimate how the carbon footprint of Alaskan...
