Forty-nine master’s students, doctoral students, and postdocs from the School community presented their research during the 34th annual F&ES Research Conference.
Eleven students and graduates from F&ES have been selected as summer fellows for the Environmental Defense Fund’s Climate Corps program, an innovative fellowship that places specially trained graduates students with private and public sector organizations to help transform how they use energy.
In a new study, Yale researchers find that perceived risks of contracting Lyme disease on average cause a person in the Northeast to forego eight 73-minute outdoor trips per year, exacting a total cost roughly $2.8 billion to $5 billion annually in the densely populated region.
In a new study, a Yale-led team of researchers found that GDP remains intrinsically linked with metal use even as affluence grows — a relationship that might threaten long-term global access to critical metals and hopes for a low-carbon future.
Researchers have documented short-term environmental benefits during the COVID-19-related lockdown, but that silver lining could be far outweighed by a long-term decline in clean energy investments, a new Yale-led study finds.
At F&ES this semester, former NRDC President Frances Beneicke will co-teach a course that explores how the environmental movement can better reflect all segments of American society.
Maintaining a healthy and diverse soil community can buffer natural ecosystems against the damaging impacts of global warming, according to a new study led by researchers at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.
When operators lifted the gates of the Morelos Dam at the U.S-Mexico border, allowing a rare pulse of water to pour into the parched, final stretches of the Colorado River Delta, it offered a rare opportunity for F&ES researchers.
A new Yale study predicts that a transition to timber-based wood products in the construction of new housing, buildings, and infrastructure would not only offset enormous amounts of carbon emissions related to concrete and steel production — it could turn the world's cities into a vast carbon sink.
The global contribution and importance of aquatic ecosystems as methane emitters has been underestimated, says Judith Rosentreter, postdoctoral associate at the Yale School of the Environment.
