Climate Change

New research finds that reforming livestock grazing practices can boost carbon storage, though supply chain emissions may offset the gains.

Climate change could make historically rare tropical cyclones more common in Southern California, significantly expanding landslide risk across the region by 2050.

Cement production accounts for roughly 8% of all CO2 emissions worldwide. New research reveals methods that could reduce emissions by up to 96% with only modest increases in production costs.

In EARTHSYS 285, Stanford students learn documentary filmmaking while partnering with local communities to create visual stories about environmental issues.

For decades, Antarctic sea ice defied climate models by expanding instead of shrinking, until it suddenly collapsed in 2016. Scientists have identified a key cause.

Future climate damages from past emissions dwarf the economic harm already inflicted, a new study shows.

New research shows protecting primary forests offers far greater climate benefits than previously estimated.

Climate change is testing the resilience of school meal programs. Research points to ways to protect children and build a more climate-smart food system.

In global climate models, researchers have harnessed AI to accurately model atmospheric gravity waves, ripples of air that affect the polar vortex, winter weather, and climate patterns.

Demonstrating how past collective actions have led to meaningful structural change makes an impact. What doesn’t work? Inducing guilt or focusing on health and economic co-benefits.
