A new, Yale-led study suggests the 21st century will see an expansion of hurricanes and typhoons into mid-latitude regions, which include major cities such as New York, Boston, Beijing, and Tokyo.
Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, the study’s...
The last decade has seen important but insufficient progress in protecting areas that are home to endangered species worldwide, conservation leaders say. As governments prepare to discuss new conservation goals at the 2022 U.N. Biodiversity Conference in...
Their legs may get more attention, but a new study says a crab’s eyes have much to offer, too — at least scientifically.
Writing in the journal iScience, paleontologists from Yale and Harvard have discovered new, unusually large optical features from a 95...
How can we control carbon dioxide levels and slow climate change? The first step is understanding how CO2 has been absorbed and released in the earth’s soil and oceans over millions of years. Yale geochemist Noah Planavsky and his lab are leading new...
Researchers at Yale and Caltech have a bold new theory to explain how Earth transformed itself from a fiery, carbon-clouded ball of rocks into a planet capable of sustaining life.
The theory covers Earth’s earliest years and involves “weird” rocks that...
Continents reconfigure, oceans shift, and ice sheets thicken and thaw, but for the past 95 million years Earth’s engine for distributing ocean heat has remained remarkably consistent.
That’s one of the findings of a new, Yale-led study that tracks the...
Researchers at Yale and the American Museum of Natural History have identified the earliest known relative of octopuses and vampire squid — and named it after the 46th president of the United States.
Syllipsimopodi bideni had 10 arms, fins, and rows of...
