A new study from Chloe Brashear, Tyler Jones and others suggests abrupt warming events were preceded by periods of unusually stable temperatures during the last ice age. The researchers point toward shifting sea ice as a potential driver of the phenomenon.
The Earth Explorers program gives local kids a first-hand look at a career in scientific research. After months of lab tours and interviews, participants are editing mini documentaries for a film screening in May.
The Mountain Research Station will host seven summer field courses in ecology, genetics and art. Registration for these college-level courses opens on Monday, March 10. Spots fill up quickly, so be sure to start the process right away for the best chance of attending.
Pollution-laden dust storms are depositing black carbon on the Himalayas. New research from INSTAAR’s Karl Rittger and collaborators reveals the process.
INSTAAR Faculty Fellow Katharine Suding received the Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science today for her “transformative contributions to restoration ecology.” INSTAAR sat down with the eminent ecologist for a Q&A on the eve of the big announcement.
CU Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz recently dropped in on INSTAAR, where he discussed the institute’s research strengths and potential collaborations at the university level.
INSTAAR is accepting applications for a summer graduate research scholarship. The 2024 recipients used the extra time and money to process and collect data, publish work and attend conferences.
Jonathan Henn has quickly become an eminent plant ecologist with work on alpine plant communities and grassland wildfires. He reflects on his research journey so far.
A refined mathematical model is now capable of predicting carbon inputs and outputs for freshwater lakes around the world, according to new research from INSTAAR’s Isabella Oleksy and collaborators. Their work could help scientists understand the role of freshwater lakes in the global carbon cycle.
Michael Gooseff and collaborators are gathering the first-ever continuous, long-term water quality sample of the Colorado River's upper basin. INSTAAR senior communication specialist Gabe Allen joined them for three days on the river.
