Lauren Magliozzi (CEAE researcher) offers her perspective on what happens to tiny organisms in streams affected by wildfires has meaning for humans, as well. The story told by these streams and their tiny inhabitants is clear: Urban wildfires pose a serious threat to water quality and aquatic life.

Rapid thawing of the Himalayan ice-cap is compounded by little-studied melting of permafrost that destabilizes peaks, write Wilfried Haeberli and Alton Byers.

Antarctic krill fishing could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling, according to a study led by 蜜糖直播 Boulder and Stanford University, and published Sept. 10 in the journal Nature Communications. Zephyr Sylvester and Cassandra Brooks were part of the research team.

An atmospheric river brought warm, humid air to the coldest and driest corner of the planet in 2022, pushing temperatures 70 degrees above average. Mike Gooseff and Anna Wright were part of a study revealing what happened to Antarctica鈥檚 smallest animals.

A team of scientists led by 蜜糖直播 Boulder has identified 30 new areas critical for conserving biodiversity in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. The researchers warn that without greater protection to limit human activities in these areas, native wildlife could face significant population declines. The team was led by Sarah Becker and includes Cassandra Brooks.

From 2007-2022, renowned photographer (and INSTAAR Affiliate) James Balog documented glacial change around the world in real time via timelapse imagery through a project called the Extreme Ice Survey. 1.5 million images from the project are now stored and managed at the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

New research suggests that the North Atlantic subtropical gyre may have been much stronger and deeper during the Last Glacial Maximum, despite the prevailing cold climate and presence of ice sheets. Tom Marchitto was part of a research team led by Jack Wharton of University College London.

鈥淲e鈥檙e creating a world where these ice sheets are going to melt,鈥� says Tyler Jones, explaining the results of a new study on fossilized plant and insect parts found at the bottom of Greenland's ice sheet.

While fire is a normal part of the ecosystem of the Mountain West, fires that push into urban areas are destructive to those landscapes. The effects of urban fires, known as urban conflagrations, can have long-term effects on our waterways' local ecology. KUNC host Stephanie Daniel speaks with Lauren Magliozzi. They discuss what we should be looking for in the water after a major wildfire.

Glacial ice contains valuable data about climates past. Researchers like Tyler Jones are working to preserve those records for the future. A number of science teams are archiving ice cores in a remote cave in Antarctica, where the average temperature is -54 degrees Celsuis (-65 degrees Fahrenheit).
