Session Description:
In September 2017, Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, devastating environment and infrastructure. A panel of experts will discuss effects that reverberate even now and may well continue into the future. From on-the-ground research at the National Science Foundation's Luquillo Long-Term Ecological Research and Critical Zone Observatory sites, to NASA's airborne lidar forest surveys and night-light views from space, the scientists assess Maria's ripple effects on tree mortality, forest recovery, stream chemistry from headwaters to the coast, and power recovery after the longest blackout in U.S. history.
