DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nOne of the largest uncertainties of the future of
  the Earth is how the terrestrial biosphere will counteract or exacerbate 
 the rise in CO2. Whether or not ecosystems absorb or emit carbon depends o
 n water\, temperature\, nutrients\, CO2 fertilization\, and other factors.
  Here\, Dr. Joshua B. Fisher will discuss how satellite and airborne remot
 e sensing in conjunction with climate models are used to understand how Ea
 rth’s terrestrial water\, carbon\, and nutrient cycles are linked and im
 pact the Earth system as a whole\, highlighting new insights into the beha
 vior and understanding of the terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate.
 \n \nBio:\nDr. Joshua B. Fisher is a Climate Scientist focusing on terres
 trial ecosystems\, water\, carbon\, and nutrient cycling using a combinati
 on of remote sensing\, supercomputer models\, and field campaigns from the
  Amazon to the Arctic\, with applications in water and ecosystem managemen
 t\, food security\, wildfire\, and environmental justice. He completed his
  undergraduate and graduate degrees from UC Berkeley and his postdoctoral 
 work from the University of Oxford. Dr. Fisher was a NASA Scientist at the
  Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for over a decade and the founding Scienc
 e Lead for the ECOSTRESS mission on the International Space Station. Dr. F
 isher is now the Science Lead for Hydrosat and Associate Professor of Envi
 ronmental Science and Policy at Chapman University. With over 250 publicat
 ions\, Dr. Fisher has been named one of the world’s “most influential
 ” researchers\, in the top 0.1% of scientists with papers in the top 1% 
 by citations for the past 8 years in a row.
