Global Environmental Alert System
A biweekly service connecting science with policy
Beginning soon, GEAS will be releasing a bi-weekly newsletter to help you keep up-to-date with environmental science, research, and policy. Using satellite imagery, photographs, maps, and narratives to show natural and human related environmental change, this newsletter will provide credible information that delivers policy-relavant information in an easily understood format.
See some examples of environmental hotspots below, or check out the sample newsletter.
