Department of Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry studies molecular systems related to the sustainable production, storage and use of chemical fuels. The methods of chemical synthesis, catalysis, analytical and physical chemistry, spectroscopy and computational modeling are used to study solar energy conversion, solar fuel production, hydrogen storage and green chemistry.

Biophysical and computational studies are used to define the processes of solar energy conversion that occur in natural photosynthetic systems. The principles revealed by study of the natural systems are applied in a collaborative multidisciplinary project to develop bioinspired artificial photosynthetic systems that use solar energy to drive water splitting for sustainable fuel production. In addition, studies of solvated molecules in the gas phase are done to reveal the structures of species, such as solvated protons, that are important in energy conversion processes and the fundamental reaction steps in water splitting chemistry.

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology investigates how climate change affects ecological and evolutionary processes and threatens biodiversity. Work in the department provides critical knowledge about evolutionary responses and variation in rates of species evolution caused by past climate change. Species communities are assessed for effects of recent climate change to draw conclusions about the future trajectory of key ecological processes and the potential for adaptation. Empirical, simulation and theoretical approaches are used to estimate geographic shifts and extinctions of biodiversity under projected climate change. The department's knowledge of biodiversity, ecology, physiology and evolution can help improve global models of carbon storage and provide a scientific basis for conservation prioritization and resource management in a changing world.

Department of Geology and Geophysics
The Department of Geology and Geophysics studies the Earth system in its entirety as well as its many constituent components including the cryosphere, biosphere, oceans, atmosphere, land surface, the history of life, and Earth's climate evolution. Climate scientists in the department research the nature of climate and feedback processes. They also reconstruct past climates, develop techniques to quantify past levels of CO2, temperature, changes in hydrological conditions, and offer insights about future climate change.

Some of the most pressing climate questions that the Department attempts to address include understanding the key tipping points of the climate system and how close we are to them, determining Earth's climate sensitivity to atmospheric CO2, evaluating how land surface feedbacks cause local amplification of global trends, and evaluating how evolutionary changes relate to climatic changes.

In addition to climate science and climate modeling, the department is well suited for studying CO2 mitigation strategies and possesses knowledge regarding the viability of storing carbon in various geological formations, can evaluate the ideal rock for carbon sequestration, and studies the rate of escape of CO2 injected into subsurface environments.

Program in Solar and Terrestrial Physics
The Yale Program in Solar and Terrestrial Physics (STP) is a joint program between the Yale Geology/Geophysics and Astronomy departments to study the physical mechanisms common to the Sun and Earth that govern their changes over time.

Unresolved questions range from long-standing paradoxes in Earth history, to pressing problems of the present day. For example, our best current theories of stellar evolution predict that the Sun was about 30% weaker early in Earth's history than today. Theories of Earth's climate indicate that with so little solar heating, the Earth should have frozen over. Yet somehow the Earth's climate has remained, if not constant, at least equable for life for nearly four billion years. We currently do not have a satisfying explanation for this "faint young sun" paradox. We are also struggling with a problem on much shorter timescales---the prediction of how climate will change in the coming decades due to human alteration of the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Terrestrial climate is a rich and very challenging problem that requires deep understanding, but also creativity, to overcome the obstacles of studying a bafflingly complex, dynamical system.

The joint STP program is an unique collaborative effort between a space sciences and Earth sciences department, poised to exploit the growing convergence between key elements of the study of the Sun and Earth. The core mission of this program is to attract and educate new graduate students who will have the fluency across disciplines to generate the new discoveries that will become possible.

School of Forestry and Environmental Studies

The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES) prepares new leadership and creates new knowledge to sustain and restore the long-term health of the biosphere and the well-being of its people.  More than two dozen F&ES faculty members in the natural, physical and social sciences conduct research and teaching on energy and climate issues.  Active F&ES research in this area includes the following topics: the impacts of sea level rise on marshes; carbon cycling in rivers, estuaries and coastal systems; energy systems analysis; the science and business of carbon sequestration and carbon markets; the role of global environmental governance and policy institutions; human health implications of climate change; economic efficiency and cost-effectiveness of climate policy approaches; estimating climate change impacts across economic sectors, including agriculture and energy; risk perception and public opinion regarding climate change; environmental justice issues; and the potential for adaptation and mitigation in developing countries.

School of Epidemiology and Public Health
The School of Epidemiology and Public Health offers insight into the connection between climate change and human health. Climate, along with vegetation and geology affects the landscape epidemiology. As climate changes so may the spread and severity of disease. The school studies vector borne pathogens and possesses expertise on Lyme Disease, SARS, and influenza among other diseases. The School of Epidemiology and Public Health also investigates malnutrition, heat-related health concerns, and respiratory diseases that may change in severity and prevalence as the climate changes.

Center for Environmental Law and Policy

The goal of this program area is to understand how and why the public values the environment and how the policy community might best engage citizens on critical environmental issues. The Center's "Climate Change Resonance" project is exploring this issue through (1) a survey of NGOs, (2) a nationwide poll, and (3) a literature review that seeks to establish what issues, words, risks and problem scales resonate most strongly with the public. At the same time, the Center is participating in a related project in which focus groups are shown a documentary about climate change and then questioned about their reactions. Finally, the program area also includes the Yale Environmental Poll, a national survey that tracks how the public perceives climate change, who individuals trust as an information source on the topic, and what they feel their responsibilities to be.
