Our focus is #ClimateScience. We study carbon ecology to make climate models more realistic and implement data-driven strategies to slow #globalwarming.
As a postdoc in the @terrerlab_mit, @leilamirzagholi uses her background in physics to understand global warming’s impact on the terrestrial carbon cycle.

Tropical forests recovering from disturbances offset 1/4 of carbon emissions from tropical deforestation and degradation.
In a new paper in @nature we quantify the C sink of these forests in the Amazon, Borneo and Central Africa: https://t.co/7ldxCNI7h1
How did we do this? 1/
I finally made it to my first #AGU22 . If you are interested in global N uptake by plants come see my talk on Tuesday at 15:09 (GC25D-03, room S501-bcd). Super open to discuss and later drinks!
📢 Join us this Friday to talk about Carbon Capture with Charlie Harvey (MIT), who recently published an op-ed in the New York Times: "Every Dollar Spent on This Climate Technology Is a Waste"

Last Friday we were honoured to have @RichPhillipsLab visiting @MIT_CEE . Thank you, Rich, for the seminar and the insightfull meetings. We were delighted to know more abut the amazing world of Mycorrhizae linked to C sequestration.
@sarameghanbeery and @sherwang, Welcome to @MIT! Two stellar signings for MIT's climate change portfolio. We look forward to collaborating with you!

Natural forest regrowth may capture 1.08 Pg C /yr aboveground and 1.60 Pg C/yr belowground in a 30 years span. Those levels contrast with IPCC report, which estimated the potential C sequestration to be 32% lower. #inspiredTerrerLab

Summer is coming to an end, which means @MIT is getting busy with new students! At Terrer Lab we want to wish you the best start of the school year, let's make it count!🌿📚
Today I participated in the amazing Climate Action Through Education (CATE) workshop. An exciting synery of high school teachers and MIT scientist to implement climate change curricula to Massachusetts high schools. The pilot starts this fall!

Our new study has just been published in @Nature! We find a marked increase in tree mortality in the tropical moist forests of #Australia in the past decades, consistent across many species and sites. The results point at #ClimateChange as the most likely driver.
What do the diets of ice age mammals tell us about the biodiversity crisis?
Our new research in @ScienceMagazine asks how extinction and range loss have affected land mammal food webs globally over the last 130,000 years 🧵
