California aims to lead the nation — and the globe — in climate change research, policy and action — in large part through climate-focused research conducted at University of...
Just because a design works once doesn’t mean that the research and development is done.
That’s why, Professor Sarah Kurtz argues in a new commentary in the prestigious journal...
Soils are carbon sinks, storing more planet-warming carbon than the atmosphere and all animal and plant life combined.
But they can also release massive amounts of stored carbon into the...
