Around the world, people are collectively making noise while social distancing. In Colorado, 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.
