  3. Pinchot Fellows Bring New Voices to F&ES

    The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies has selected two scholars to serve as the School’s first James & Mary Pinchot Fellows in Sustainability Studies.

  5. New Haven Promise Inspires New ‘Champions’ for the Environment

    For Johnae McArthur, an undergraduate at the University of Connecticut and one of five New Haven Promise interns at F&ES this past summer, the experience was more than just a crash course in biogeochemistry or a chance to explore the woods near her hometown. It also set her on a new career path.

  7. Holistic Management Makes Ecosystems Healthier, People Wealthier

    A Yale-led study puts a price on ecosystems by recognizing the value of a “natural capital” asset — in this case, fish in the Baltic Sea — and connecting it with holistic ecosystem management to calculate asset values for the interacting parts of an ecosystem.

  9. Losses of Soil Carbon Under Global Warming Might Equal U.S. Emissions

    A new global assessment led by Yale researchers finds that warming will drive the loss of at least 55 trillion kilograms of carbon from the soil by mid-century, or about 17 percent more than the projected emissions due to human-related activities during that period. Carbon losses will be greatest in places that had largely been missing from previous research.

  10. Looking for Balance Between Conservation and Development in Africa

    As the African continent continues to modernize in the coming decades, striking a balance between development and conservation will be paramount. Helen Gichohi, this year’s McCluskey Visiting Fellow in Conservation, is at F&ES this semester to further her research on possible threats to the environment such rapid development could pose.

  12. Global Urban Growth Typified By Suburbs, Not Skyscrapers

    An F&ES analysis of 478 cities with populations of more than 1 million people finds that urban growth across the world is predominantly moving outward rather than upward, a trend that is generally considered inefficient and unsustainable.
