Collaboration bursts the ‘science bubble’ to protect dryland forest threatened by climate change
Earth & ClimateFeature
Pinyon-juniper woodlands across the western U.S. have been weakened by higher temperatures, declining snowpack, insect outbreaks, and massive wildfires. Stanford researchers are working with tribal nations, government agencies, and colleagues at the University of California Berkeley to find solutions in the Eastern Sierra.
Hidden microbes protect coastal waters. Will they do their job as sea levels rise?
Earth & ClimateResearch
A study conducted at Stinson Beach illustrates how microbes in the sand filter chemicals from groundwater before they reach the ocean – and what might happen in the face of climate change.
Sodium-ion batteries need breakthroughs to compete
Earth & ClimateResearch
A thorough analysis of market and supply chain outcomes for sodium-ion batteries and their lithium-ion competitors is the first by STEER, a new Stanford and SLAC energy technology analysis program.
What we know about the health effects of wildfire
Earth & ClimateAnalysis & Insights
Wildfire smoke is about 10 times as toxic as the regular air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels, and there's no safe level of exposure, Stanford experts say: the more we breathe, the worse a range of health outcomes.
