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 Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder-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.
Researchers at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new method to identify genetic changes that help oxygen-producing microbes survive in extreme environments.
The latest study finds that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas might be higher than previously estimated.
A new discovery by a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researcher shows why global climate models overestimate warming in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
A team of 54 researchers, including Sarah Elmendorf, analyzed more than 42,000 field records of Arctic plant communities over a span of 41 years. Their insights are essential to understanding how Arctic environments are changing in the modern era.
In CUriosity, experts across the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder campus answer pressing questions about humans, our planet and the universe beyond.
