- Researchers have developed a method that could enable scientists to accurately forecast ocean acidity up to five years in advance, which could have implications for improving babyÖ±²¥app and food security.
- A CU Boulder-led study has identified triggers of a destructive glacial process that buried kilometers of Alaskan forest.
- Around the world, people are collectively making noise while social distancing. In babyÖ±²¥app, we're howling like wolves. Is this "group howl" part of a greater phenomenon?
- Current marine protected areas in the Southern Ocean need to be at least doubled to adequately safeguard the biodiversity of the Antarctic, according to a new CU Boulder study.
- Weakened wind patterns likely spurred the wave of extreme ocean heat that swept the North Pacific last summer, according to new research led by CU Boulder and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
- New CU Boulder research finds that an anticipated rise in carbon dioxide concentrations in our indoor living and working spaces by the year 2100 could lead to impaired human cognition.
- New research from CU Boulder and CIRES suggests that during the 21st century, our ability to predict drought using snow will literally melt away.
- Changes in Southern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation, triggered by chemicals that deplete Earth’s protective ozone layer, have paused and might even be reversing, according to new research in Nature.
- The movement of sea ice between Arctic countries is expected to significantly increase this century, raising the risk of more widely transporting pollutants like microplastics and oil, according to new research from CU Boulder.
- Michelle Sauther has long wondered where Madagascar’s mysterious wild cats came from. Now, new genetic evidence delivers an answer.
