Climate & Environment
- This summer in 15 states across the Southeast and Midwest, two cicada broods will emerge simultaneously for the first time since 1803. CU Boulder’s Sammy Ramsey offers insight on these singing, red-eyed bugs and how they benefit the planet.
- Ant species living in Boulder’s foothills have shifted their habitat over the last six decades, potentially affecting local ecosystems, suggests a new CU Boulder study.
- CU Boulder and Colorado State University researchers are teaming up to improve river water quality using machine learning.
- CU Boulder's Katja Friedrich is known for her work in cloud seeding, a process used to generate precipitation from existing clouds.
- A new analysis from 2,655 farms on five continents suggests that moving away from industrial, monoculture farming could benefit both the planet and people.
- A new paper co-authored by CU Boulder professors lays out a blueprint for mandating indoor air quality standards for public buildings.
- A paper co-authored by CU Boulder doctoral candidate Claire Powers offers a potential solution to a pesky problem, clustering similar farming practices together.
- A new report from CU Boulder’s Mortenson Center in Global Engineering & Resilience and Castalia Advisors identifies a $160 billion opportunity for the voluntary carbon market to reduce water sector emissions over the next decade while also increasing global water security.
- A CU Boulder engineer and his international colleagues have discovered a new way to manufacture solar cells using perovskite semiconductors. It could lead to lower-cost, more efficient systems for powering homes, cars, boats and drones.
- RJ Sangosti and Elliot Ross, former and current Ted Scripps Fellows at CU Boulder’s Center for Environmental Journalism, use photography to show immediate and long-term water concerns through the rapidly changing Western landscape.
