StFX professor’s afforestation article selected for inclusion in European Commission’s environmental news service

It’s more good news for another member of StFX’s Environmental Sciences Research Centre (ESRC).

Earth Sciences professor Dr. Alvaro Montenegro has learned that following the publication of his article on afforestation, 'The net carbon drawdown of small scale afforestation from satellite observations' in Global and Planetary Change, the story has been selected for inclusion in Science for Environment Policy,
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/integration/research/research_alert_en.htm, the European Commission's environmental news service for policy makers, distributed to over 11,000 subscribers.

The article deals with a new study based on satellite observations that suggest planting forests at high latitudes does contribute a cooling effect on the climate.
