For the past 15 years, forest ecologist Maria Uriarte has been documenting the lives of thousands of individual trees spread across Puerto Rico, putting her in a unique position to study Hurricane Maria's damage and its long-term implications.

Columbia will hold its third annual Data Science Day on March 28. The conference is open to the public and aims to foster collaboration and deepen understanding of issues such as public health and medical research, climate change and financial risk.

A new study led by led by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory researcher Tammo Reichgelt explores what it will take for the iconic tropical tree to expand into areas that have long been too cold for palm trees to survive.

A new report projects that tens to hundreds of millions of people fleeing the gradual effects of climate change will shift centers of population within many countries in Latin America, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Columbia researchers have identified the nerve cells that initiate a fly’s escape response. Their results provide a window into a survival mechanism so important that it has persisted across evolutionary time, and today exists in virtually all animals.

A generous donation from leading geoscience firm CGG Inc. will advance the research capacities of the Langseth, Columbia University's research vessel, and enable new areas of sub-seafloor exploration.

In this video, Colin Nuckolls, Latha Venkataraman, Xiaoyang Zhu, and Dmitri Basov explain their research and how Columbia's commitment to nanoscience will benefit society and reshape the world around us.
