Marina Alberti, Marsha and Jay Glazer Endowed University Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning in the Department of Urban Design and Planning, and Anna Malesis, a first-year PhD student in the Interdisciplinary PhD program in Urban Design and Planning, are among the authors of a climate change article recently published in the journal Nature (paywall or access via UW sign-in).
The article features research from the NSF Urban Eco-Evolutionary Research Network, which is led by UW’s Urban Ecology Research Lab. According to Alberti, these important findings “illustrate how urbanization and climate change are jointly reshaping the ecosystems’ adaptive capacities and the potential to achieve equitable resilience outcomes.”
