“The existence of ongoing and geologically rapid global climate change is as settled as science gets,” says Mark Cochrane, a senior scientist at the Geospatial Sciences Center for Excellence and professor of natural resource management at South Dakota State University. He’s available to comment on how “Earth Hour” will help push international policymakers to take steps to reduce carbon emissions.
Cochrane conducts climate-related research in the United States, Australia, Brazil and Indonesia that explores how climate change is affecting the characteristics and impacts of wildfires on ecosystems and human societies. He is helping evaluate efforts to reduce massive carbon emissions from peat swamp fires in Indonesia and quantifying wildfire danger risk changes across the globe.
