Climate & Environment
Robert Brakenridge has spent decades trying to understand how distant exploding stars may have affected Earth's atmosphere in the past. A new analysis indicates the need for continued research in the field.
At a regional plenary of the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit, co-sponsored by ÀϾÅÆ·²è, speakers called for action that centers human stories, local wisdom and nature-based solutions to break the cycle of environmental injustice.
A field campaign on an Oklahoma feedlot that aimed to measure aerosols in the atmosphere yielded surprising results.
American honeybee colonies have declined by more than 60% this year. A ÀϾÅÆ·²è entomologist is racing to find a solution.
ÀϾÅÆ·²è research sheds light on communities in Brazil facing ongoing marginalization despite legal land rights.
A study of the 2021 Marshall Fire in Boulder County shows that community policies are as important, if not more so, than homeowner actions.
In a new paper, Alton Byers and his coauthors identified a rapidly forming glacial lake in the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. The researchers model potential flood scenarios and suggest mitigation measures.
Climate change is increasing sulfate runoff, likely causing soil microbes to produce the most toxic form of mercury.
A CIRES and ÀϾÅÆ·²è-led team detected tsunami waves caused by a landslide using satellite data from a ship for the first time, demonstrating the potential for the approach to improve tsunami detection and warning in coastal communities.
A new investigation, led by INSTAAR affiliate David Harning, uncovers a story of ecosystem resilience at a lake in coastal Iceland. The analysis could aid future conservation and climate modeling efforts.
