Climate & Environment
Climate change is increasing sulfate runoff, likely causing soil microbes to produce the most toxic form of mercury.
A CIRES and ñ-led team detected tsunami waves caused by a landslide using satellite data from a ship for the first time, demonstrating the potential for the approach to improve tsunami detection and warning in coastal communities.
A new investigation, led by INSTAAR affiliate David Harning, uncovers a story of ecosystem resilience at a lake in coastal Iceland. The analysis could aid future conservation and climate modeling efforts.
Researchers at ñ and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new method to identify genetic changes that help oxygen-producing microbes survive in extreme environments.
The latest study finds that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas might be higher than previously estimated.
A new discovery by a ñ researcher shows why global climate models overestimate warming in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
A team of 54 researchers, including Sarah Elmendorf, analyzed more than 42,000 field records of Arctic plant communities over a span of 41 years. Their insights are essential to understanding how Arctic environments are changing in the modern era.
In CUriosity, experts across the ñ campus answer pressing questions about humans, our planet and the universe beyond.
CIRES-led research found evidence that dense portions of Earth's lithosphere (its top layer of rock) are peeling off and dropping into the mantle below the Sierra Nevada mountains.
A recent ñ-led study finds that recent dips in the ocean’s carbon absorption are likely due to natural variability instead of global warming.
