New research from scientists at Syracuse University and the University of Auckland highlights the connections between climate, tectonics and human evolution.

A Syracuse University expert on marine mammal communication was a guest on The Decibel podcast talking about the vocalization of North Atlantic right whales.

A&S scholar joins UNESCO and UNCCD Science-Policy Interface (SPI) teams to shape international environmental decision-making through Indigenous knowledge.

Some proteins can survive drying out, returning to function when water is re-introduced. Revealing the chemical rules behind this ability could lead to longer-lasting medicines and drought resistant crops.

About 390 million years ago, Earth’s deep oceans filled with oxygen, turning them into homes for diverse marine life. The first forests on land drove this transformation, releasing both oxygen and nutrients to the sea.

What lies beneath the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet may hold the key to understanding one of the most pressing climate challenges of our time: sea-level rise.

A&S biology professor Angela Oliverio receives NSF and NASA grants to study how microorganisms survive and thrive in some of the world’s most extreme environments.

The cohort of new faculty exemplifies the College's commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and problem-solving.

A new lakebed mapping initiative on Skaneateles Lake is helping scientists pinpoint nutrient-rich sediments that fuel harmful algal blooms (HABs), a growing threat to Syracuse’s major drinking water source.

Forests are falling behind in the race against climate change, with new research revealing it takes centuries for tree populations to adapt—far too slow to keep pace with today’s rapidly warming world.

Researchers from Syracuse University and the United Kingdom found chemical clues in ancient South African sediments linking past atmospheric shifts to droughts that mirror Cape Town’s Day Zero crisis.

A team of researchers from Syracuse University and MIT uncovered evidence that oxygenation in the ocean—crucial for life as we know it—may have occurred earlier than previously thought, offering new insights into the evolution of our planet.
