Hayes featured by DOE Office of Science

Daniel Hayes, associate professor of geospatial analysis and remote sensing at the School of Forest Resources at the University of Maine, was featured by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science discussing the impact of his 2012 Early Career Award. “The award allowed me to collaborate with scientists around the world to work on several studies that gave us a better understanding of these processes. The studies also provided our first global estimates of how deep the soils were thawing, how much previously frozen carbon was vulnerable, how fast it could be released, and the factors influencing the resulting emissions as carbon dioxide or methane,” Hayes said.
