Documenting the seasonal fate of these tiny marine organisms is a step toward understanding how ecosystems in the world's fastest-warming region may change as ice recedes.
Award-winning scholars including Steven Chu, a professor in energy science and engineering and recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics, share the insights behind their breakthroughs.
More than 200 students explored careers in renewable energy, environmental policy, impact investing, and more through internships offered by Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability programs and university partners.
In a new study comparing gas, propane, and all-electric commercial kitchens, researchers documented temperatures as high as 122 degrees Fahrenheit and nitrogen dioxide above the EPA’s one-hour outdoor air standard in 70% of gas and propane kitchens.
