Beneath its rugged, rocky exterior, New England is wicked hot and on the move, a new study says.
Geophysicists at Yale and Rutgers have found a localized region of New England’s upper mantle, centered beneath Vermont and New Hampshire, that is unusually...
To fully understand biodiversity and how it is changing, you need to look near, far, and in-between, according to a new study.
Researchers at Yale University studied 50 years of data about nesting birds in North America and tracked biodiversity changes on...
Yale researchers have provided a new explanation for why Earth’s early climate was more stable and warmer than it is today.
When life first evolved more than 3.5 billion years ago, Earth’s surface environment looked very different. The sun was much weaker...
Arctic sea ice isn’t just threatened by the melting of ice around its edges, a new study has found: Warmer water that originated hundreds of miles away has penetrated deep into the interior of the Arctic.
That “archived” heat, currently trapped below the...
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....
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...
Yale University has launched a campus-wide initiative that will unite institutional leadership and academic experts across the natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, professional schools, and the humanities in an intensive effort to tackle the...
As the world seeks solutions to the global climate crisis, many eyes are turning north — to the Arctic Ocean.
Climate scientists say Arctic regions are a key indicator of the changes that have already occurred worldwide and those yet to come. The Arctic...
