ABSTRACT
Climate solutions may involve reducing sources of greenhouse gas emissions or managing impacts. I’ll talk about some recent projects my group has led to assess prospects for reducing particularly difficult-to-abate GHG emissions as well as for avoiding the mounting impacts of wildfire in California and the western U.S.
