Scientists are taking the temperature of ancient seas to discover how they’ve shaped global climate.In a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, a Yale-led research team explored differences in ocean temperatures over the last 5 million years....
A Yale-led study urges scientists to move their focus from species extinction to species rarity in order to recognize, and avoid, a mass extinction in the modern world.
Writing in the journal Nature the week of Dec. 16, Yale’s Pincelli Hull and colleagues...
Tiny ponds play a disproportionately large role in global greenhouse gas emissions from inland waters, according to a new study by Yale’s School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.Although ponds less than a quarter of an acre in size make up only 8.6...
Professor Jeffrey Powell began working on the mosquito that transmits the Zika virus when he was an undergraduate student 49 years ago. He has a life-long fascination with Aedes aegypti, which he refers to as “a truly elegant creature.”
His latest...
The search for endangered species is leading scientists to an unexpected place for information — the clouds that shift and swirl around the planet.In a new study, researchers from Yale and the University at Buffalo (UB) say that satellite data about...
A Yale University study says global climate models have significantly underestimated how much the Earth’s surface temperature will rise if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase as expected.
Yale scientists looked at a number of global climate...
