A CU Â鶹ӰԺ astrophysicist is searching the light coming from a distant, and extremely powerful celestial object, for what may be the most elusive substance in the universe: dark matter.
Millions of years ago, fire swept across the planet, fueled by an oxygen-rich atmosphere in which even wet forests burned, according to new research by CU Â鶹ӰԺ scientists
Wildfires are a natural disturbance for these regions, but when combined with climate change and housing growth in the wildland-urban interface, they become larger and more destructive.
Study led by CU Â鶹ӰԺ researcher is first to tally ‘forest proximate’ humans on earth; numbers, refined terminology may improve focus of conservation and development.
New CU Â鶹ӰԺ-led research finds the traits that make vertebrates distinct from invertebrates were made possible by the emergence of a new set of genes 500 million years ago.
