A new investigation, led by INSTAAR affiliate David Harning, uncovers a story of ecosystem resilience at a lake in coastal Iceland. The analysis could aid future conservation and climate modeling efforts.
Researchers at CU Boulder and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new method to identify genetic changes that help oxygen-producing microbes survive in extreme environments.
The latest study finds that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas might be higher than previously estimated.
A new discovery by a CU Boulder researcher shows why global climate models overestimate warming in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
A team of 54 researchers, including Sarah Elmendorf, analyzed more than 42,000 field records of Arctic plant communities over a span of 41 years. Their insights are essential to understanding how Arctic environments are changing in the modern era.
In CUriosity, experts across the CU Boulder campus answer pressing questions about humans, our planet and the universe beyond.
CIRES-led research found evidence that dense portions of Earth's lithosphere (its top layer of rock) are peeling off and dropping into the mantle below the Sierra Nevada mountains.
A recent CU Boulder-led study finds that recent dips in the ocean’s carbon absorption are likely due to natural variability instead of global warming.
Ice melting from modern-day Greenland could again drive an increase in volcanic eruptions around Iceland, a new study suggests.
CU Boulder researcher Pedro DiNezio emphasizes solving the problems of climate change in the here and now.
