Forests play a key role in mitigating climate change by removing and storing carbon dioxide, but they are facing increasing challenges. In the new Department of Energy report “Roads to Removal,” a team of YSE scientists map out a plan to reach critical climate goals by increasing the total forested area in the U.S., increasing the rate at which forests remove CO2 from the atmosphere, and increasing durability of forest carbon storage.

EMIT delivers first-of-a-kind maps of minerals in Earth’s dust-source areas, enabling scientists to model the fine particles’ role in climate change and more.

Yale researchers discover key information about bacterial biofilms, gravitational lensing, and a new class of long-lived holes in the nuclear membrane of cells.

Eric Slessarev, who studies the carbon storage dynamics of soil organic matter, explains why understanding this phenomenon is key to addressing climate change.
