Arctic sea ice is not merely a passive responder to the climate changes occurring around the world, according to new research.
Scientists at Yale University and the University of Southampton say the ongoing Arctic ice loss can play an active role in...
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...
A new study shows that human waste accounts for a high percentage of nutrients consumed by some animals and plants in suburban ponds.
Researchers at Yale University and Portland State University found that residential, suburban land use is altering the...
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...
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...
Neither wind, nor rain — nor massive sheets of ice — have kept Earth’s birds from their appointed rounds of migrating to better climes, according to a new study.
That’s the conclusion of a new study from the Max Planck-Yale Center for Biodiversity...
