The Biden administration is revising the social cost of carbon (SCC), a decade-old cost-benefit metric used to inform climate policy by placing a monetary value on the impact of climate change. In a newly published analysis in the journal
Nature, a team of researchers lists a series of measures the administration should consider in recalculating the SCC. President Biden signed a Day One executive order to create an interim SCC within a month and setting up a process to produce a final, updated SCC within a year, explains Gernot Wagner, a climate economist at New York University s Department of Environmental Studies and NYU s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and the paper s lead author. Our work outlines how the administration can use the latest research in ways that take into account storms, wildfires, and other phenomena that are more devastating today than they were when the SCC was first created.

A team of researchers has devised a method using smartphones in order to measure food consumption an approach that also offers new ways to predict physical well-being. We ve harnessed the expanding presence of mobile and smartphones around the globe to measure food consumption over time with precision and with the potential to capture seasonal shifts in diet and food consumption patterns, explains Andrew Reid Bell, an assistant professor in New York University s Department of Environmental Studies and an author of the paper, which appears in the journal
Environmental Research Letters.
Food consumption has traditionally been measured by questionnaires that require respondents to recall what they ate over the previous 24 hours, to keep detailed consumption records over a three-to-four-day period, or to indicate their typical consumption patterns over one-week to one-month periods. Because these methods ask for participants to report behaviors over extended periods of t
