UCSB scientists contributed to an innovative new study of the environmental impact of major urban ecosystems, published in the April issue of the journal Ecological Applications. Joseph P. McFadden and Jennifer Y. King, both of UCSB’s Department of Geography, analyzed environmental data gleaned from the “Twin Cities Household Ecosystem Project,” a study of 3,100 households in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., and surrounding areas. “With the findings of this study, we’ll be able to identify the actions that individuals and households can take to improve environmental quality — and reduce their contributions to soil, water, and air pollution,” said King.
Other co-authors from the University of Minnesota are Cinzia Fissore, Larry A. Baker, and Sarah Hobbie. Ina Jakobsdottir, formerly with the University of Minnesota, is also a co-author. READ MORE (UCSB Featured News)
