“Disturbance effects on soil carbon pools and fluxes”

Disturbances can disrupt soil processes that regulate the global carbon (C)-climate feedbacks and are also expected to increase in frequency and magnitude over the next decades due to a warmer climate and the intensification of human activities worldwide. These shifts in disturbance regimes will potentially increase the vulnerability of soil C storage by disrupting plant-soil interactions and accelerate the emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. A key challenge is to understand the short- and long-term impacts of disturbances on the biogeochemical cycling of soil C. I will present two ongoing studies aimed at assssing how soil carbon pools and fluxes respond to (1) increasing levels of disturbance severity; and (2) thermal extremes. Data generated from these projects can be incorporated into predictive models to advance our understanding of how soil C storage and dynamics will respond to shifts in disturbance regimes under a changing climate.

Geology Bachelor of Science designated as
Licensure-Qualifying Program for New York State Geology License at Queens College.

 

The School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Queens College is proud to announce that the Geology Bachelor of Science degree has been added as a licensure-qualifying designation and is now listed as a registered program for obtaining the New York State Geology License.

 

Queens College is currently the only institution in New York City to offer this to students.

 

This will permit students who graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Geology at Queens College to be eligible to take the exam for the New York State Geology License. Many consulting and governmental jobs in both geology and environmental science now ask prospective employees to have the New York State Professional Geologist title. Contact the geology undergraduate advisors, for more information about this exciting opportunity for Queens College students :
