Scholars from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability discuss their hopes and expectations for international climate talks taking place this month in Dubai.
High-intensity, often catastrophic, wildfires have become increasingly frequent across the Western U.S. Researchers quantified the value of managed low-intensity burning to dramatically reduce the risk of such fires for years at a time.
Policy and science experts on why cities get hotter than rural areas and what complicates mitigation efforts. “It’s not necessarily the technology that holds us back.”
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?
New Stanford-led research offers a way to build climate resilience into the designs of ocean and coastal areas intended to protect marine species. The researchers recommend establishing numerous marine protected areas across political borders, starting with the Southern California Bight.
In a test of their new analysis tool, researchers show where “moving up” or “moving over” may make the most sense for those affected by the 2022 Pakistan flood, and what costs it would entail.
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.
Montana is appealing a historic ruling that found the state must consider the impact of greenhouse gas in its environmental reviews of projects. Experts discuss the impact the outcome will have across the U.S.
Farmers in India have adapted to warming by intensifying the withdrawal of groundwater for irrigation. If the trend continues, the rate of groundwater loss could triple by 2080, threatening food and water security.
