Part four of the 2020 Carson Scholars Program webinar series, "Intersections of Environment and Justice: From Our Bodies to the Earth"

Environmental changes – from soil nutrients that plants use to budget their lives to compromised water quality in large river systems to global warming of the ocean and atmosphere…these can be instigated by both natural and human stresses. In this webinar, Carson Scholars from the departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Environmental Sciences, and Geosciences will discuss the tools they use to understand environmental stresses and the lives impacted by these stresses.
