The meeting next Tuesday is part of an ongoing conversation with NOAA's Katherine Rowden, who had previously presented at ACC meetings. This time, we'll be focused on ascertaining if there exists data that needs to be shared between different parties that relate to (1) flooding and debris flow after wildfires, (2) "values-at-risk" (e.g. livestock, civil infrastructure, clean water) that may be impacted by flooding and debris-flow, (3) fire containment areas identified by fire management teams. Next Tuesday's discussion will be used as input to the ESIP summer meeting session. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82026434814?pwd%3DZ0lnYUxzZklkUm10VEZKT015b3luZz09&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw0Bp7Shp3vSJ7lNLNBS7ZHw" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(26,115,232);font-family:Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.2px;white-space:pre-wrap">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82026434814?pwd=Z0lnYUxzZklkUm10VEZKT015b3luZz09</a><span style="color:rgb(60,64,67);font-family:Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.2px;white-space:pre-wrap">

While not all humans practice agriculture in similar or damaging ways, nevertheless, dominant agricultural practices are <span style="color:black">displacing beings and ecosystems and perturbing global nutrient cycles across the planet. </span>These entwined i<span style="color:black">mbalances of dominance and nutrients result in flows of excess nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon that are responsible for nearly three-fourths of the eutrophication of global waters and 12% of the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change. Yet, some agricultural practices can help mitigate these negative impacts while supporting food cultivation. This dissertation endeavors to contribute important understandings of these practices and their effects on soil and nutrient flows in three ways. First, an assessment of scientific evidence for climate change adaptation and mitigation reveals a potentially worrying lack of robust evidence for synergies between the two objectives, along with a narrow focus on productivist outcomes. Second, a three-year field study measuring nutrient flows from dominant agricultural systems in the Northeastern United States reveals the complication that some soil practices implemented for reducing nutrient runoff emit more greenhouse gases. Third, the use of emerging technologies reveals new ways to both monitor difficult-to-measure greenhouse gases and to consider the roles of technology in mediating nutrient flows. Agricultural practices shape logics that in turn shape technologies and practices, and thus these examinations together deepen understandings of agricultural relationships that are of particular importance for climate change mitigation.</span></span></p></div><font color="#888888"><font color="#888888"><br></font></font></div><font color="#888888" style="font-size:small"><br clear="all"><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small"><div style="font-size:12.8px"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
