Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a highly scalable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy. In ERW deployments, pulverized mineral feedstock is spread on agricultural or managed lands. Upon the dissol...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum, L.) stored significantly more carbon in root biomass than shallow-rooted crops at 12 sites across the USA Switchgrass had no detectable effect on soil organic carbo...

Scientific research center at Yale exploring how natural systems can be enhanced and scaled to mitigate climate change.

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a promising strategy for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, yet field-scale observations suitable for evaluating ERW co-benefits related to soil-fertility i...

📢 🏆 🌊 🧮 Very pleased to share that a YCNCC research team led by Yale University Earth & Planetary Sciences (EPS) Assistant Professor Elizabeth Yankovsky and YCNCC Associate Research Scientist Luke Gl...

Abstract. Limiting global warming to 2 °C by the end of the century requires dramatically reducing CO2 emissions, and also implementing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. Ocean-based CDR throu...

Causal approaches employed at the scale of commercial agriculture are required to build high-quality evidence that climate-smart agricultural interventions result in real emissions reductions and removals. Such project-scale empirical data are additionally required to demonstrate and advance the viability of process-based models and digital measurement, reporting and verification as tools to scale soil carbon accounting.

Yale community members will engage in a series of events during Climate Week in New York, including a two-day event at the Yale Club, underscoring the many ways the university is advancing solutions to climate change, biodiversity loss, and other planetary challenges.

In a Q&A, geochemist Gabby Kitch talks about an innovative Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture project that will accelerate the oceans’ natural ability to store carbon dioxide.

📢 🗓️ 🌊 Very much looking forward to the upcoming Sabin Center for Climate Change Law and New York Sea Grant Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Law and Policy Symposium on 19 September 2025 where YCNCC Ma...

Chemical weathering of silicate rocks occurs along a continuum from terrestrial to marine environments.

Amazon forests are undergoing rapid transformations driven by deforestation, climate change, fire, and other anthropogenic pressures, leading to the hypothesis that they may be nearing a catastrophic ...

Farms commonly spread crushed limestone on fields to make the soil less acidic – and this practice can also help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Yale School of the Environment scientists find that the common mineral can promote harvests and help fight climate change.

YCNCC SLT member and Yale Chemistry Prof Hailiang Wang won prestigious $2 million Brown Investigator Award from Caltech

Adding lime to agricultural soils can remove CO2 from the atmosphere, rather than cause CO2 emissions, claims new research.

Among the selected organizations are Kairos Carbon, capturing carbon from wet organic wastes, Backwater, working on a new, widely-deployable, geological storage method for CO₂, and Norma, developing n...

Launched on June 4, 2025, at the One Ocean Science Congress in Nice, France, ahead of the United Nations Ocean Conference, this Blue Paper was

Forest-based agroforestry can restore forests, promote livelihoods, and combat climate change, but emerging agroforestry initiatives focusing only on tree planting is leading to missed opportunities t...

Mangrove forests could be more resilient to intense storms caused by climate change than had previously been thought, scientists say.

YSE Research Scientist Sara Kuebbing was on a panel of leading forest scientists who evaluated forest carbon credit protocols — finding them to be flawed and at the root of problems facing the carbon ...

Mangrove forests could be more resilient to intense storms caused by climate change than had previously been thought, scientists say.

The Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School, together with New York Sea Grant, is pleased to announce a writing competition for law students interested in writing on legal and…
