Among its key initiatives is ALARMES\, a real-time satellite-based fire monitoring and early\nwarning system that provides rapid detection and tracking of vegetation fires\, thereby supporting emergency response\nand environmental management efforts nationwide. LASA also conducts advanced research on the increasing frequency\nof compound drought and atmospheric heatwave events and their role in triggering severe wildfire outbreaks\, such as the\n2020 Pantanal fires\, while investigating the consequent impacts on urban health and mortality. Additionally\, the\nlaboratory integrates satellite observations with atmospheric models to improve the understanding of water cycle\nvariability and inform water resource management in Brazil’s major river basins. Complementing these efforts\, LASA\napplies inland\, coastal and ocean remote sensing to monitor water ecosystems and processes critical for climate\nadaptation along Brazil’s extensive coastline. Furthermore\, research on urban climate dynamics\, including urban heat\nislands\, air quality\, and socio-environmental vulnerabilities\, informs sustainable urban planning and resilience strategies.\nThrough these multidisciplinary approaches\, LASA expects to contribute to vital knowledge and tools to support Brazil’s\nresponse to climate change\, offering insights relevant to global climate resilience and adaptation efforts.\n  URL:https://climatechange.umaine.edu/event/climate-change-institute-lecture-series-lino-augusto-sander-de-carvalho-department-of-meteorology-institute-of-geosciences-federal-university-of-rio-de-janeiro-satellite-applications-for-brazil/ LOCATION:Bryand Global Science Center – Rm 300 CATEGORIES:Research Lecture END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251001T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251001T103000 DTSTAMP:20260515T124028 CREATED:20250918T130220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250918T132553Z UID:10000344-1759309200-1759314600@climatechange.umaine.edu SUMMARY:Hanna Brooks - PhD Defense Announcement DESCRIPTION:A 1200-year history of\nheavy metal deposition\nin sub-Arctic Alaska\nHanna Brooks\nPhD Defense\n10.1.2025 @ 9am\nBryand Hall Rm 300 \nZoom Link:  https://maine.zoom.us/j/4607165338?omn=88514946820 \nPassword: Denali URL:https://climatechange.umaine.edu/event/hanna-brooks-phd-defense-announcement/ LOCATION:Bryand Global Science Center – Rm 300 CATEGORIES:Defense Announcement END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251020T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251020T140000 DTSTAMP:20260515T124028 CREATED:20251014T131332Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251014T131332Z UID:10000346-1760961600-1760968800@climatechange.umaine.edu SUMMARY:CCI 2025 Ice Age Breaker - Monday\, October 20 (12:00 - 2:00 PM) DESCRIPTION:The ICE AGE BREAKER event will be held Monday\, OCTOBER 20th from 12-2 PM in room 300 Bryand Global. \nPizza will be provided for this event\, so please click on the link below and register for this event.\nhttps://forms.gle/CSLG8AQzYLkAbk7j7 \nRegistration for this event is required by Thursday\, October 16\, 2025. \n\nThe purpose of this event is to introduce faculty and resources available at CCI to students.  All Climate Change Institute Faculty and Staff are encouraged to attend.

Emerson DESCRIPTION:  \nSURVIVING THE SUN: HUMAN HEALTH RISKS AND INTERVENTIONS DURING HEAT STRESS\n \nDawn M. Emerson\nAssistant Professor\nSchool of Kinesiology\, Physical Education\, and Athletic Training\nCollege of Education and Human Development\nUniversity of Maine\n \nMonday\, November 3\, 2025\, 12PM\n300 Bryand Global Science Center\nZoom link: https://maine.zoom.us/j/83936085526?pwd=PwbB6m3aAUMmqHNgPQypWKxWUaUY6Y.1\n  \nAbstract: Global warming is increasing the incidence of heat waves and cases of heat illness across the world\, which cause financial\, structural\, and personnel strain among communities and emergency response systems. Heat illnesses can affect individuals across the lifespan and in any setting\, and victims may experience absence from work or family obligations\, long-term health consequences\, or even death. Therefore\, steps must be taken to mitigate risk\, and to prepare for critical events by developing policies and educational opportunities targeted toward the public\, communities\, and other stakeholders. This presentation will review Dr. Emerson’s work on heat illnesses\, including factors that increase an individual’s risk for developing a heat illness; provide a brief overview of the impacts of heat exposure on human health (e.g.\, cardiovascular disease\, mental health) and communities (e.g.\, emergency response); and explore potential areas of collaboration with the Climate Change Institute to advance our understanding of the impact of global warming on humans\, particularly in Maine.

The Muridae are a cosmopolitan family of rodents that inhabit most biomes and many niches. Microclimate selection can influence animal energetics and nest sites can serve as thermal refuges and buffer the effects of the surrounding climate. For my thesis I will be studying the thermal characteristics of different nest sites of three different genera of tropical Murids (Sundamys spp\, Niviventer spp\, and Maxomys spp) along with their and behavior (using radio telemetry and biologgers) and experimentally testing their physiological responses to temperature (by flow through respirometry). This data will allow me to model it as a consideration once more data is collected and will be used to assess quality of predictions and analyze possible energetic responses to rarer species. Comparing these can help identify survivability and resilience via energetics\, behavior and microclimactic advantages.
