Living Laboratory Fellowship for Sustainability launches
The program supports student work on interdisciplinary projects that directly contribute to greening the university’s operations, including installing solar panels on the roof of the Terry Huffington Barn to power the O’Donohue Family Educational Farm.
Climate change’s impacts on wildlife can vary by sex
Research shows that understanding sex-specific responses to temperature fluctuations is key to slowing biodiversity loss. So why do so few environmental studies take these differences into account?
Energy use in U.S. cities to change dramatically by 2050
Extreme heat and population growth will increase the amount of electricity needed to cool urban buildings by at least 20% in some areas, according to Stanford-led research.
A thumbnail-sized optical sensor that detects environmental DNA in near-real time could help coastal communities monitor some of the world’s largest marine protected areas.
Seetah will lead the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources, which offers PhDs in the Doerr School of Sustainability and joint and dual MS degrees with Stanford’s other schools.
Going from gas to electric has immediate benefits for climate and health
An analysis of a household electrification program in Ecuador suggests switching from gas to induction stoves reduces climate emissions and hospitalization rates faster than previously thought.
New research reveals a massive and accelerating transfer of water from dwindling rural groundwater sources to Jordan’s cities through an unlicensed market.
