- Stanford study: Earth's early ocean cooled more than a billion years earlier than thought
- The scalding-hot sea that supposedly covered the early Earth may in fact never have existed, according to a new study by Stanford University researchers who analyzed isotope ratios in 3.4 billion-year-old ocean floor rocks.

- EESS Asst Prof David Lobell co-author of article on crop yield gaps
- Future trajectories of food prices, food security, and cropland expansion are closely linked to future average crop yields in the major agricultural regions of the world.
Student Spotlight
Kevan Moffett : Graduate Student
Kevan's PhD research is on wetland hydroecology. She analyzes field measurements and numerical models of plant and soil hydrology to better understand coastal salt marsh ecosystem structure and function. Kevan's research interests broadly span hydrology and water resources as components of the earth system: hydroecology, physical and biological spatio-temporal patterns, surface/subsurface and land/ocean exchanges, land/atmosphere climate feedbacks, coastal process dynamics, physics-based environmental modeling, wetland function, and human/water systems.
