“Dealing only with poverty or the spreading of prosperity is inadequate unless you understand that it’s impacted deeply by climate change. It’s impacted by fragility, conflict, and violence. It’s impacted by pandemics. It’s impacted by food security.” President of The World Bank Ajay Banga discussed the interconnectedness of global challenges in a recent conversation with leaders from the Hoover Institution and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. 🎥 Watch the highlights: https://lnkd.in/gMZe93W7 🔗 Read the recap: https://lnkd.in/gP3PHN6V Photo credit: Patrick Beaudouin

In search of ways to support ecosystems facing climate change, Associate Professor of Earth system science Kabir Peay studies the beneficial relationship between plants and the fungi that grow in their roots. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ga4ipP-t
When most people think of fungi, they think of the part you can see: mushroom caps poking through the soil. But Stanford biologist Kabir Peay knows the humble mushroom sprouts from a vast network of tiny fungal strands branching out below ground, intertwined with the roots of trees and plants. “If you were to walk around a forest, the ground beneath is teeming with life,” said Peay. These fungal networks play a leading role in plant and forest health and could be key to sustainably supporting ecosystems and agriculture in the face of climate change. The team of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and undergraduates working in the Peay Lab combine field observation, lab experiments, genetic sequencing, and other techniques to study the biogeography of fungi themselves. Uncovering these details helps scientists understand ecosystems more holistically and make predictions on how future environmental changes may impact the system. “Some of our attempts are not going to work – there will be a lot of failure, but that’s how science works. Eventually, that failure can turn into things that will be really useful for us.” 🗞️: https://lnkd.in/gPysvU4a 📸: Andrew Brodhead

“A major step for more transparency”: Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions researchers and collaborators have identified critical information about the seafood supply chain that could help combat seafood fraud. Read: https://lnkd.in/gy4Ekwm3
Who owns reefers? New research from the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions and Stockholm Resilience Centre identifies who owns the refrigerated cargo ships – also known as reefers – that act as mobile ports for fishing boats. The result: A publicly accessible, interactive database to improve seafood traceability and transparency ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gs9vm6kn

“The technology needed to slow climate change is advancing, but the political willpower to adopt it is lagging. I want to increase awareness of the magnitude of the threat we’re facing, and how we all stand to benefit from solutions.” Meet Madalina Vlasceanu, new assistant professor of environmental social sciences. 🔎 Read her spotlight: https://lnkd.in/gZZHHhtx 🎥 Hear what excites her about coming to Stanford: https://bit.ly/3Y1UEYa

Researchers thought they’d find large amounts of sandy deposits on the ocean floor as a result of the drastic climatic changes that happened 34 million years ago. They didn’t. Understanding why could help scientists better grasp the global impacts of today’s changing climate.
