The Washington Post’s Chris Mooney Addresses the Challenge of Translating Environmental Data for Public Consumption

As Earth Day renews the public’s focus on climate change, Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Chris Mooney teaches YSE students how to effectively translate environmental data for public consumption.

Preparing for a Global Stage: Dozens from Yale at COP 24

More than 40 people from Yale will travel to Katowice, Poland for the annual Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, known as COP 24, including several F&ES students who have trained for climate negotiations.

Will Marshland Keep up With Rising Seas? Study Finds Clues in the Sediment

A new Yale-led study describes a novel methodology that tracks the inland movement of marshland by analyzing for microscopic fossils in the sediment, a process that might provide important insights into the future of these vulnerable coastal ecosystems.

‘We’re Talking About Our Future Leaders’ Conservation Fellow Opens Door to Students

Special Publication Highlights Thirty Years of TRI Student Research

The F&ES-based Tropical Resources Institute (TRI) this month published a Special Issue that highlights three decades of student work in commemoration of the organization’s 30th anniversary.

The Complicated Future of Offshore Wind Power in the U.S.

In recent years the U.S. Department of Energy laid out an ambitious plan to grow the U.S. offshore wind sector. In a new paper, Yale researchers make the case that it might not be as easy as it seems.

Taking the Long View: U.S. Scientists Affirm Value of Long Term Research

A new Yale-led study provides a detailed glimpse into how the U.S. ecological community views the direction of long-term research and its critical role in the advancement of knowledge.

Drought Linked With Health Risks in Older Adults, Yale-Led Study Shows

A Yale-led analysis of health claims in 22 U.S. states found that severe drought conditions increased the risk of mortality — and, in some cases, cardiovascular disease — among adults 65 or over.

Researchers Find Increases in Nitrous Oxide Emissions, Outpacing Global Predictions

Protecting Nature and Indigenous Rights In One of Earth’s Most Diverse Landscapes

For nearly two decades, conservationists Lilian Painter and Robert Wallace have worked with indigenous communities in Bolivia’s Madidi-Tambopata landscape to recover endangered species and improve livelihoods for the people who live there. Despite the challenges, their strategy is working.

Public Will Back Carbon Tax — But It Depends on How You Sell It, Study Says

A new Yale-led study suggests that a progressive carbon tax can both reduce emissions and generate revenue. But how a carbon tax is structured — and how its benefits are communicated to voters — are vital for building political support.

Predicting Climate Impacts on Ecosystems Will Require Scientists to Widen the Lens

In a new paper F&ES scholars make the case that overly simplistic studies on the climate impacts on ecosystems avoid the inherent complexity and interconnectedness of natural systems — and thus yield erroneous climate predictions.

Postdoc’s Dissertation Earns National Honor

Jude Bayham, a postdoctoral associate at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, recently received Honorable Mention for Outstanding Dissertation Award from the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association.

In his dissertation, Bayham found that increased development across the western U.S. is affecting how government agencies respond to wildfires. He showed that using firefighting resources to protect homes
