BSEC: Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative

BSEC is an Urban Integrated Field Lab that generates the climate science needed to support equitable pathways for climate action in Baltimore City. We have engaged researchers and community partners in an iterative process of priority identification, observation and modeling system design, and multi-objective tradeoff assessments. The outcome is a family of “potential equitable pathways” for climate action, together with a workflow to generate these pathways that can be applied in other cities and to other climate challenges.

Urban land uses strongly influence microbial carbon cycling along the terrestrial-aquatic systems. This work identifies specific locations (i.e., control points) exerting strong impact on carbon biogeochemistry and to understand the interplay of molecular controls, nutrient supply, and hydrologic factors that fuel the rapid microbial carbon processing at these locations, impacting downstream coastal systems. A molecular-scale understanding is critical to accurately predicting highly dynamic urban and coastal carbon cycles.
