When methane leaks, it is often accompanied by other toxins more hazardous to human health. New remote sensing technologies help stop both at the source.
Jody Freeman, Archibald Cox Professor and Director of the Environment & Energy Law Program (EELP) at Harvard Law School, hosted a podcast on December 28, 2023 that provided an insightful and wide-ranging overview of global and U.S. developments in reducing methane emissions.
In Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the Supreme Court will consider a case that could undermine the EPA and other regulators. Harvard Law School experts explain the stakes.
Harvard University will host an official side event at COP28: a panel with global experts entitled, “Reducing Global Methane Emissions: Imperatives, Opportunities, and Challenges”
Harvard University scientists have developed and are preparing to launch a new satellite that uses breakthrough technology to detect and measure methane leaks. The technology promises to make a significant contribution in limiting climate change, as methane is a greenhouse gas whose warming potential is more than 80 times greater than that of carbon dioxide.
Tropical forests are one of the most vital ecosystems on Earth, yet little is understood about how they will respond to increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. Harvard Professor Ben Taylor and his team are undertaking first-of-its-kind research exploring how increasing CO2 will affect plant-microbe partnerships in tropical forest ecosystems.
In partnership with the Harvard Global Health Institute, the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, is excited to announce that we are now offering a 2-year fellowship program for eligible research fellows, post-doctoral scholars, and early career faculty pursuing scholarly research at the intersection of climate change and global health.
The Harvard University Center for the Environment (HUCE) Environmental Fellows program enables doctorate recipients to work for two years with Harvard faculty members to create new environmental knowledge while also strengthening connections across the University's academic disciplines.
