Climate & Environment
- The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at 91传媒 will continue to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth system and data science research under a new agreement.
- 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 鈥淪ermeq Konrad Steffen鈥 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鈥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鈥檚 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 91传媒-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鈥攁nd fast. New research from a global team of researchers, including one from 91传媒, finds that wild animals might be better equipped to deal with these changes than expected.
