A new study says pink noise may be the key to separating out natural climate variability from climate change that is influenced by human activity.
Not familiar with pink noise? It’s a random noise in which every octave contains the same amount of energy....
Yale’s expertise in carbon pricing will be a featured component of the Global Climate Action Summit, an international gathering of public and private sector leaders this month in San Francisco.
On Sept. 13, the summit hosts “Higher Education Leadership on...
Chemistry professor Nilay Hazari is co-author of a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that suggests national priorities for research into turning greenhouse gas into useful products.
The report urged government...
The sources of water that feed one of the main ocean circulation systems on Earth are likely to change along with the climate, according to a new study.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is an oceanic circulation system that...
A key question for climate scientists in recent years has been whether the Atlantic Ocean’s main circulation system is slowing down, a development that could have dramatic consequences for Europe and other parts of the Atlantic rim. But a new study...
In his first press conference after winning the 2018 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for his work connecting climate change to the global economy, Sterling Professor of Economics William Nordhaus took a moment to reflect on how Yale helps him address...
