Columbia's Earth Institute is collaborating with leading global investment management firm AllianceBernstein L.P. to create an intensive curriculum focused on how climate change can affect economic and financial outcomes.

A new study co-authored by ocean scientists at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory reveals a surprising way in which lava influences marine ecology.

A new Columbia University study suggests that the way we perceive others’ bad behavior — as either biological and innate or potentially changeable — impacts our willingness to cut them some slack.

Park Williams and Richard Seager, climate experts at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, discuss why California wildfires are expected to expand and intensify with climate change.

The findings provide a path forward for researchers hoping to make sense of a process that is equal parts chaotic and precise, and critical to understanding not only growth and development but also aging and disease.

The ability to monitor deforestation and fires from satellites is now routine. Political will is the main ingredient, writes Ruth DeFries, a Columbia University environmental geographer.

Columbia climate scientist Gisela Winckler spent two months with 30 scientists in the Southern Ocean, collecting sediments from the seafloor that may help us better predict and combat climate change.
