CO2 released by volcanoes did not cause the dinosaur die-off, says study

A new study suggests that volcanic eruptions did not lead to the extinction of the dinosaurs, and also demonstrates that Earth’s oceans are capable of absorbing large amounts of carbon di...

What impact does volcanic activity have on climate change?

A geology-based analysis of Earth’s climate history over the past 700 million years provides evidence that climate change has occurred traditionally through slow shifts in the release of ...

The new laser that's improving biological imaging

Yale scientists have developed a laser imaging system with the versatility to look at both the structure of biological tissue and the dynamic activity — such as a heartbeat or the movemen...

Have we underestimated the impact of carbon emissions?

A Yale University study says global climate models have significantly underestimated how much the Earth’s surface temperature will rise if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase as...

How to use clouds to study endangered species

The search for endangered species is leading scientists to an unexpected place for information — the clouds that shift and swirl around the planet.
