Tipping Points’ in Earth’s System Triggered Rapid Climate Change 55 Million Years Ago, Research ShowsScientists have uncovered a fascinating new insight into what caused one of the most rapid and dramatic instances of climate change in the history of the Earth. MORE
Here is Aaron Wallace presenting his poster at the undergraduate research fair Awhile back readers helped out with a pretest of a survey. We revised the survey accordingly and collected the data. We found that travel cost demand slopes downward and willingness to pay is negatively related to the bid price. No surprises there, but the magnitudes are interesting. We also tested whether a cost uncertainty warning helps avoid starting point bias with repeated WTP questions. MORE

I am not opposed to the pursuit of private money to fund academic research, in principle. Even if those strings are not pulled, there is the risk of the perception of non-objectivity when private organizations fund basic research at universities. Unfortunately, though, such private money sometimes comes with strings attached. MORE

I hiked the Crabtree Falls loop with the youngest daughter of environmental economics (ydee) on Friday. The Falls were very crowded but if you actually do the 1.7 miles of the 2.5 mile loop (instead of heading back the way you came), you are all alone. My western NC waterfalls book actually suggests avoiding the loop (what?). The first video is Crabtree Falls and the second is a smaller waterfall ("lesser crabtree falls") that you miss if you go back the way you came MORE

New Research Helps Crack the Mystery of Clouds to Improve Climate PredictionThe mission marked a turning point in our ability to observationally study factors influencing clouds. MORE
Most professors at most universities conduct research in their field. Some of this research advances knowledge in important ways (and is the stuff that fills up textbooks, by the way) and some not so much. For most professors, the act of engaging in research makes them better teachers. For example, I'm sure I could teach micro principles and do a halfway decent job without conducting any research on the side (or teach "out of the book" in macro principles). MORE

New research from Florida State University and Rice University is providing a better estimate of the amount of carbon in the Earth’s outer core, and the work suggests the core could be the planet’s largest reservoir of that element. MORE
