ESSIC Post-doctoral Associate Nathan Thomas co-authored a paper published in Nature Geoscience titled, “Mangrove canopy height globally related to precipitation, temperature and cyclone frequency”.
The paper measures the canopy height and aboveground biomass of mangrove forests around the world and discusses their relationship with rain, storm frequency and human activities. The study was led by Marc Simard and Temilola Fatoyinbo from the CalTech Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, respectively.
