The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has estimated nearly 1 billion of hectares of trees are needed to reduce climate change to about 1.5°C. Researchers have mapped out where to plant those trees.
Communities that live close to areas where forest and brush fires occur, at least in the United States, have been recently demonstrated to be predominately African American, Hispanic, or Native American.
New methods have also been created to measure inequality to housing and health so that they can be empirically demonstrated
The relationship between CO2and climate change emissions in general and wealth inequality is not a clear one.
Towns can literally ‘borrow size’ from other urban locations, boosting their economic opportunities and capabilities by using the fact they are located near large towns and can leverage these networks to be more economically robust.
In November 2018, the United States Carbon Cycle Science Program released a report, entitled Second State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR-2), about the nature of the carbon cycle in North America, covering Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
Geographic information and weather data recorded by ship crews are a valuable source of historical information that could be utilized to understand how our climate has changed.
Geographers study religions and their development based on the role that geography intersects with other important social components within a human geographic approach.
Yale University is using high tech imagery analysis such as reflectance transformation imaging (RTI) to determine the authenticity of the Vinland Map, a purported 15th-century world map that has long been widely believed to be a 20th century forgery.
While much of the public is aware of a concept of light pollution, its ill effects and influences on society and nature are less clear to most people.
Noise pollution has long been seen to be particularly acute in regions where transportation and urban development are most pronounced; the disciplines of urban and environmental geography have focused on this topic.
Persuasive cartography involves making maps that attempt to shape our beliefs.
