The Jackson lab examines the many ways  people affect the Earth. Our projects combine basic science and policy solutions to issues such as climate change, energy extraction, and land use. We're currently examining the effects of climate change and droughts on old-growth forests. We are also working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the Global Carbon Project (globalcarbonproject.org), which Rob chairs. This work includes establishing a global network of methane tower measurements at nearly 100 sites worldwide, with new projects across the Amazon and other tropical regions. and measuring and reducing methane emissions and air pollution from oil and gas wells, city streets, and homes and buildings.
