Climate & Environment
The gut microbiomes of long-dead animals could give researchers surprising insights into how climate change and other factors have shaped the Rocky Mountains over decades.
The Greenland Place Name Committee has named a glacier “Sermeq Konrad Steffen” after the late Konrad Steffen, former director of CIRES, who made exceptional contributions to Greenlandic society and science.
A new population of polar bears documented on the southeast coast of Greenland use glacier ice to survive, despite limited access to sea ice. This small, genetically distinct group of polar bears could be important to the future of the species in a warming world.
The public is invited to celebrate at a six-night, in-person seminar series with dates June 21–29, featuring talks from local artists and scientists over dinner at the newly renovated Wildrose Dining Hall.
Climate change is having significant impacts on Antarctica’s ice sheets, climate and ecosystems with far-reaching global consequences, according to a new international report of which CU's Cassandra Brooks is a co-author.
Escaped methane from oil and gas operations contributes more to climate change than previously thought. But a new CU Boulder-born startup, inspired by a 2005 Nobel Prize winning discovery, has devised a way to sniff out leaks in real time.
Among many interdisciplinary efforts, scientists are using the power and promise of remote sensing to help solve food supply, pollution and water scarcity problems around the globe.
Researchers have created the first global map of where mammals are most likely to move between protected areas, such as national parks and nature preserves.
Climate change is forcing animals to adapt—and fast. New research from a global team of researchers, including one from CU Boulder, finds that wild animals might be better equipped to deal with these changes than expected.
Cassandra Brooks has received an NSF CAREER Award to examine whether the Ross Sea's protection status is working. Part of what she'll look at is a large time series of ear bones from the Antarctic toothfish species—a health record of sorts.
