A new report from Stanford Earth scientist Rob Jackson's Global Carbon Project puts a damper on hopes that emissions might soon start decreasing, as they must if catastrophic climate change is to be averted.

Demand for energy is fueling emissions spikes in the U.S. and in nations around the world, according to new research led by Stanford Earth professor Rob Jackson's Global Carbon Project.

Scientists have warned that many regions around the world may see more hot, dry conditions as climate change reshapes the planet. Now, a study from Noah Diffenbaugh actually quantifies the risk.

New research from Stanford Earth's Noah Diffenbaugh shows the chance of having years that are both extremely warm and extremely dry has doubled around the globe since 1931.

A new Stanford study says hot and dry conditions will increasingly hit multiple regions at the same time – shrinking crop yields, destabilizing food prices and laying the groundwork for large wildfires.

Climate change has doubled the odds that a region will suffer the brutal combination of hot and dry weather at the same time, according to a study from Noah Diffenbaugh of Stanford Earth.  

New research by Rob Dunbar and Neil Tangri uses Samoan corals to show how temperature and salinity patterns in the equatorial Pacific changed in space and time over the last 500 years.

Stanford Earth's Katharine Mach argues that decarbonizing needs to come from many sources, ranging from fully biological to engineered.

“We need to pay attention to everything that’s happening across different landscapes,” says Stanford Earth's Katharine Mach. “So much of this is tied to the way we grow food.”

Stanford Earth professor Sally Benson comments on a new study assessing the potential for reforestation, land-use changes and other ecosystem-based approaches to help mitigate climate change.

Stanford Earth's Noah Diffenbaugh explains the connections between climate change and wildfire risk – and why failure to recognize that risk is extremely dangerous for California.

Stanford Earth's Katharine Mach says there’s a danger in assuming blockchain, the technology behind Bitcoin, will be a miracle cure for climate change. "It's essentially can-kicking ethics."

A study co-authored by Stanford Earth professor Eric Lambin looks into how global warming has played a role in the survival of the fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis.

Research co-authored by Stanford Earth's Eric Lambin conclusively shows what others have suspected: A precious fungus is disappearing, as a result of a double whammy of overharvesting and warming weather.

A first-of-its-kind analysis from Stanford Earth researchers including Dustin Schroeder has revealed a surprising amount of liquid water encased in solid ice inside Greenland’s Store Glacier.
