Climate & Environment
- This summer in 15 states across the Southeast and Midwest, two cicada broods will emerge simultaneously for the first time since 1803. ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ 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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder study.
- ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder and ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ State University researchers are teaming up to improve river water quality using machine learning.
- ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ 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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder professors lays out a blueprint for mandating indoor air quality standards for public buildings.
- A paper co-authored by ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder doctoral candidate Claire Powers offers a potential solution to a pesky problem, clustering similar farming practices together.
- A new report from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ 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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ 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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s Center for Environmental Journalism, use photography to show immediate and long-term water concerns through the rapidly changing Western landscape.
