Climate & Environment
Cooking, cleaning and other routine household activities generate significant levels of chemicals inside the average home, leading to indoor air quality levels on par with a polluted major city.
Scientists can be climate advocates without tarring reputations, CU Boulder researchers contend.
CIRES scientists have directly observed an Antarctic ice shelf bending under the weight of ponding meltwater on top, a phenomenon that may have triggered the 2002 collapse of the Larsen B ice shelf.
As climate change melts Greenland’s glaciers and deposits more river sediment on its shores, international researchers have identified an unforeseen babyÖ±²¥app opportunity: exporting excess sand and gravel abroad.
Scientists have developed a possible answer to a longstanding mystery about the chemistry of streamflow, which may have broad implications for watersheds and water quality around the world.
Glacial retreat in the Canadian Arctic has uncovered landscapes that haven’t been ice-free in more than 40,000 years, and the region may be experiencing its warmest century in 115,000 years.
Greenland is melting faster than scientists previously thought—and will likely lead to faster sea level rise—thanks to the continued, accelerating warming of the Earth’s atmosphere.
CIRES researchers harnessed 35 years of data to uncover responses of a high-elevation reservoir to a warming world.
The rate of Antarctic ice extent loss for December 2018 is the fastest in the satellite record, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
Will a longer, climate-induced growing season ultimately help coniferous forests to grow or hurt them?
