Climate & Environment
Thick, impenetrable ice slabs are expanding rapidly on the interior of Greenland's ice sheet, sending meltwater spilling into the ocean.
Researchers at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) have been awarded $3 million to study the changing climate and rivers of Alaska and western Canada.
Photographers and others with a keen eye have noticed that sunrises and sunsets have become a lot more purple in the U.S. New measurements from a high-altitude balloon could explain why.
A gene newly associated with the migratory patterns of golden-winged and blue-winged warblers could lend insight into the longstanding question of how birds migrate across such long distances.
Dozens of CU Boulder researchers will take part in the MOSAIC expedition, which will send an icebreaker ship into the winter pack ice to drift for an entire year.
Wildfire smoke can persist for months in the stratosphere, giving scientists an opportunity to fine-tune models of climate change, nuclear winter and geoengineering.
Improvements in satellite imaging and remote sensing equipment have allowed scientists to measure ice mass in greater detail than ever before.
High in the Andes Mountains, dagger-shaped ice spires house thriving microbial communities and an oasis for life in one of Earth’s harshest environments.
Your house may be worth less. Your stuff might take longer to deliver. Whether you believe in it or not, climate change is changing the world around you. That and more on this episode of the Brainwaves podcast.
CU Boulder geology graduate student research argues that boulders play a major role in the geologic evolution of river canyons across vast spans of time.
