  • High local temperatures reduce dietary diversity in children under 2

    Open AccessJessie Pinchoff, Devon Kristiansen et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2026

  • Child Stunting and Temperature Anomalies

    Open AccessTavis C Mansfield, Molly E Brown et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Climate anomalies and household conditions jointly influence stunting among children aged 24-59 months, with effects varying by country. Cold anomalies were associated with higher odds of stunting in Burkina Faso (BF OR = 2.14) and Kenya (KE OR = 1.20), while heat anomalies reduced stunting in BF (OR = 0.08) but increased it in KE (OR = 2.34). Electricity access was protective in both countries (BF OR = 0.61; KE OR = 0.71), while improved water, …

  • Characterizing and communicating uncertainty

    Open AccessRobert E Kennedy, Sylvia Serbin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Navigating uncertainty is a critical challenge in all fields of science, especially when translating knowledge into real-world policies or management decisions. However, the wide variance in concepts and definitions of uncertainty across scientific fields hinders effective communication. As a microcosm of diverse fields within Earth Science, NASA’s Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) provides a useful crucible in which to identify cross-cutting concep…

  • The meso scale as a frontier in interdisciplinary modeling of sustainability from local to global scales

    Open AccessJustin A Johnson, Molly E Brown et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Achieving sustainable development requires understanding how human behavior and the environment interact across spatial scales. In particular, knowing how to manage tradeoffs between the environment and the economy, or between one spatial scale and another, necessitates a modeling approach that allows these different components to interact. Existing integrated local and global analyses provide key insights, but often fail to capture ‘meso-scale’ …

  • Assessment of the Nasa carbon monitoring system wet carbon stakeholder community

    Open AccessMolly E Brown, Catherine Mitchell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Wet carbon (WC) ecosystems are a critical part of the carbon cycle, yet they are underrepresented in many policy and science communities due to the relative under-investment in stakeholder and boundary organizations. WC systems include the hydrosphere and carbon cycling systems that operate in wetlands, oceans, rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, and permafrost. In this article, we provide evidence from a desk review of WC stakeholders, that includes …

  • Investigating the relationship between growing season quality and childbearing goals

    Open AccessNina Brooks, Kelly Grace et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2023Citada por: 5Referências: 9

    Agricultural production and household food security are hypothesized to play a critical role connecting climate change to downstream effects on women's health, especially in communities dependent on rainfed agriculture. Seasonal variability in agriculture strains food and income resources and makes it a challenging time for households to manage a pregnancy or afford a new child. Yet, there are few direct assessments of the role locally varying ag…

  • The Nasa Carbon Monitoring System Phase 2 synthesis

    Open AccessG C Hurtt, A E Andrews et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Underlying policy efforts to address global climate change is the scientific need to develop the methods to accurately measure and model carbon stocks and fluxes across the wide range of spatial and temporal scales in the Earth system. Initiated in 2010, the NASA Carbon Monitoring System is one of the most ambitious relevant science initiatives to date, exploiting the satellite remote sensing resources, computational capabilities, scientific know…

  • Scientist-stakeholder relationships drive carbon data product transfer effectiveness within Nasa program

    Open AccessMolly E Brown, Vanessa M Escobar et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Carbon cycle science is at the heart of research on global climate change and its long-term impacts, as it examines the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans, land, and the impact of fossil fuel emissions on this cycling. Given the urgency of the climate challenge, NASA’s Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) requires all funded investigators to identify and work with stakeholder organizations at project inception to accelerate the transfer …

  • Climate impacts associated with reduced diet diversity in children across nineteen countries

    Open AccessMeredith T Niles, Benjamin Freixas Emery et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    It is widely anticipated that climate change will negatively affect both food security and diet diversity. Diet diversity is especially critical for children as it correlates with macro and micronutrient intake important for child development. Despite these anticipated links, little empirical evidence has demonstrated a relationship between diet diversity and climate change, especially across large datasets spanning multiple global regions and wi…

  • Nasa’s carbon monitoring system (CMS) and arctic-boreal vulnerability experiment (ABoVE) social network and community of practice

    Open AccessMolly E Brown, Matthew Cooper et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    The NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) and Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) have been planned and funded by the NASA Earth Science Division. Both programs have a focus on engaging stakeholders and developing science useful for decision making. The resulting programs have funded significant scientific output and advancements in understanding how satellite remote sensing observations can be used to not just study how the Earth is cha…

  • Exploiting the Convergence of Evidence in Satellite Data for Advanced Weather Index Insurance Design

    Open AccessMarkus Enenkel, Daniel E Osgood et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2019

    The goal of drought-related weather index insurance (WII) is to protect smallholder farmers against the risk of weather shocks and to increase their agricultural productivity. Estimates of precipitation and vegetation greenness are the two dominant satellite datasets. However, ignoring additional moisture- and energy-related processes that influence the response of vegetation to rainfall leads to an incomplete representation of the hydrologic cyc…

  • Hunger, nutrition, and precipitation

    Open AccessMatthew Cooper, Matthew W Cooper et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Environment2019Citada por: 5Referências: 105

    Changing precipitation patterns caused by climate change are expected to have major impacts on food security and nutrition in agrarian areas in developing countries. However, the linkages between the duration and severity of precipitation shocks and their effects on child nutrition and household food security metrics remain underexplored. In this study, we used Feed the Future datasets from Ghana and Bangladesh to examine the impact of precipitat…

    Open AccessMolly E Brown, Kelly Grace et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Environment2014Citada por: 22Referências: 42

    Climate change and degradation of ecosystem services functioning may threaten the ability of current agricultural systems to keep up with demand for adequate and inexpensive food and for clean water, waste disposal and other broader ecosystem services. Human health is likely to be affected by changes occurring across multiple geographic and time scales. Impacts range from increasing transmissibility and the range of vectorborne diseases, such as …

  • From parasite encounter to infection

    Open AccessJulio A Benavides, Élise Huchard et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2012Citada por: 6Referências: 77

    Host parasite diversity plays a fundamental role in ecological and evolutionary processes, yet the factors that drive it are still poorly understood. A variety of processes, operating across a range of spatial scales, are likely to influence both the probability of parasite encounter and subsequent infection. Here, we explored eight possible determinants of parasite richness, comprising rainfall and temperature at the population level, ranging be…
