“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.
The Central Valley is one the main food suppliers in the U.S., but it now faces a host of environmental concerns. Research from Stanford Earth shows over-pumping aquifers can release toxic arsenic.
Stanford Earth's Katharine Mach explains the climate data gap, which allows scientists to say to say much more specifically how climate change will play out in Europe and North America compared to other places.
Research led by Stanford Earth scientists shows that, contrary to the picture painted by President Trump on "60 minutes," not doing anything about climate change could cost trillions of dollars.
Noah Diffenbaugh of Stanford Earth helps to explain why the existence of past cool periods – including the Ice Age – aren’t evidence the current warming trend is illusory.
Stanford Earth's David Lobell comments on research that shows increasing bouts of extreme heat waves and drought will hurt barley production enough to double beer prices.
Geophysics professor Norm Sleep discusses his recent Astrobiology paper describing how Earth’s ancient geology can be used to test theories about the evolution of life.
Stanford Earth's Chris Field explains how a New Age-style experiment in the Arizona desert has become "an important piece in our portfolio for understanding climate change."
