In the state’s dry, nutrient-deficient soil, CU Boulder researchers and others aim to learn if the crop can survive and even thrive in a hotter, drier future.

Cold fronts play a role in making bushfires drastically worse – posing a serious concern for future bushfire events.

The ocean isn’t just impacted by climate change — it may also be part of the solution to reversing it. 

A Chapman University scientist and his colleagues have determined how the Earth responds as it heats up due to climate change.

From 2000 to 2021, climate change caused the loss of more than 40 trillion liters (10 trillion gallons) of water in the Colorado River Basin — about equal to the entire storage capacity of Lake Mead — according to a new study that modeled humans’ impact on hydrology in the region.

A catalyst using a single or just a few palladium atoms removed 90% of unburned methane from natural gas engine exhaust at low temperatures in a recent study. 

Humanity has a long track record of making big changes with little forethought. 

A large portion of Greenland was an ice-free tundra landscape—perhaps covered by trees and roaming woolly mammoths—in the recent geologic past, new UVM-led research shows.
