  3. Long, Bruce D. Alexander '65 Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, said the name of the village itself comes from an indigenous word meaning “the place of noises.”

  4. Recent research co-published by Jeffrey Park, Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, theorizes why the island appears to float above the surrounding water.

  5. Yale researchers, including FAS faculty, study a mass extinction from the distant past, uncover hidden brain networks, and share expertise at an international meeting on enhanced weathering.
