The recent normalization of historical marine heat extremes

February 2022
Kisei R. Tanaka, Kyle S. Van Houtan
PLOS Climate
This study focusing on marine heat extremes to provide an alternative framework that may help better contextualize the dramatic changes currently occurring in marine systems.Read More →

Methane and NOx Emissions from Natural Gas Stoves, Cooktops, and Ovens in Residential Homes

January 2022
Eric D. Lebel, Colin J. Finnegan, Zutao Ouyang, and Robert B. Jackson
Environmental Science and Technology
This study finds that annual methane emissions from all gas stoves in U.S. homes have a climate impact comparable to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 500,000 cars.Read More →
