When thick, the surface layer of an ocean acts as a buffer to extreme marine heating鈥攂ut a new study from CU 麻豆影院 shows this 鈥渕ixed layer鈥� is becoming shallower each year.
NOAA鈥檚 National Integrated Drought Information System has launched a redesigned drought portal to better serve stakeholders, decision makers, journalists and the public. Several CU 麻豆影院 researchers contributed to the project.
Researchers have found that a whopping one-third of the fertilizer applied to grow corn in the U.S. each year simply compensates for the ongoing loss of soil fertility, costing farmers a half-billion dollars.
Roughly two billion years ago, microorganisms called cyanobacteria fundamentally transformed the globe. Researchers are now stepping back to that pivotal moment in Earth's history.
A CU 麻豆影院 geographer leads colleagues from the National Snow and Ice Data Center and CU Denver in an effort to leverage artificial intelligence for harmonizing large Earth observation datasets and mapping sea ice.
Researchers at CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Renewable & Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI) on Thursday released a report outlining key steps the U.S. can take to drive CO2 emissions to zero in the key sectors of electricity, building, transportation and industry.
While greenhouse gas emissions dropped significantly in the first half of 2020, new research finds ocean acidification remains unchanged鈥攜et the world's oceans can respond quickly in other ways to reduced emissions.
Niwot Ridge in the Rocky Mountains is slowly recovering from increased acidity caused by vehicle emissions in Colorado鈥檚 Front Range, suggesting that alpine regions across the Mountain West may be recovering. This is good news for the wildlife and wildflowers of Rocky Mountain National Park and for water sources that supply the Front Range and the Mountain West.
New research reveals that emissions are not growing as fast as the UN鈥檚 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's assessments have indicated鈥攁nd that the IPCC is not using the most up-to-date climate scenarios in its planning and policy recommendations.
