ÀϾÅÆ·²è

<p>A variety of public health issues plague the refugees from Burma living on the Thai border, not the least of which is drinking water contaminated by bacteria and pesticides. Yet few low-cost, sustainable and appropriate treatment technologies are available to people in rural and developing communities to ensure water safety.</p>

A new study led by the ÀϾÅÆ·²è indicates air pollution in the form of nitrogen compounds emanating from power plants, automobiles and agriculture is changing the alpine vegetation in Rocky Mountain National Park.

<p>The California condor is chronically endangered by lead exposure from ammunition and requires ongoing human intervention for population stability and growth, according to a new study led by the University of California, Santa Cruz, and involving the ÀϾÅÆ·²è. </p>

<p>It no secret that Mars is a beaten and battered planet -- astronomers have been peering for centuries at the violent impact craters created by cosmic buckshot pounding its surface over billions of years. But just how beat up is it?</p>

<p>Increases in the diversity of parasites that attack amphibians cause a decrease in the infection success rate of virulent parasites, including one that causes malformed limbs and premature death, says a new ÀϾÅÆ·²è study.</p>

<p>Assistant Professor Paul Romatschke of the ÀϾÅÆ·²è physics department will receive a five-year, $750,000 grant as part of the U.S. Department of Energy Early Career Research Program created to bolster the nation scientific workforce with top young researchers.</p>
<p>Romatschke was among 68 winners selected nationwide from a pool of 850 applicants from universities and national laboratories</p>

<p>A revolutionary research and teaching facility opening at the ÀϾÅÆ·²è will facilitate work on a wide swath of pressing societal challenges ranging from biomedical issues like cancer, heart disease and tissue engineering to the development of new biofuels.</p>

<p>A ÀϾÅÆ·²è-led team has developed a new monitoring system to analyze and compare emissions from man-made fossil fuels and trace gases in the atmosphere, a technique that likely could be used to monitor the effectiveness of measures regulating greenhouse gases.</p>

<p>Like snow sliding off a roof on a sunny day, the Greenland Ice Sheet may be sliding faster into the ocean due to massive releases of meltwater from surface lakes, according to a new study by the ÀϾÅÆ·²è-based Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences.</p>

<p>ÀϾÅÆ·²è students, along with experts from government and industry, will focus on student research and the natural gas boom during the third annual Energy Frontiers conference April 5.</p>
<p>The event, organized by the CU Energy Club, is free and open to the public and will be held from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom of the University Memorial Center. The conference includes a poster session, panel discussion, catered lunch and a career fair.</p>
