After hosting the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit on campus in 2022, CU 鶹 remains a committed educational partner and will be a co-host of the 2025 event in Oxford, England.
CU 鶹 researcher and team have discovered why lithium-ion batteries, which power most electronic devices, lose capacity over time. The findings could enable the development of electric vehicles that go far longer without needing a charge.
New research reveals that current krill populations in the Southern Ocean may be insufficient to support the full recovery of whale species if krill harvesting continues at current rates.
Predators not native to Madagascar, such as feral dogs and cats, may pose a serious threat to lemur species—many of which are already facing extinction on this African island.
CU researchers spent 400 hours under water observing these colorful fish in the Caribbean. They learned they’re smarter, and more neighborly, than previously thought.
An atmospheric river brought warm, humid air to the coldest and driest corner of the planet in 2022, pushing temperatures 70 degrees above average. A new CU 鶹-led study reveals what happened to Antarctica’s smallest animals.
The new international annual review of the world’s climate showed that 2023 was the warmest year on record. A CU 鶹 scientist weighs in on how the rising global greenhouse gas concentration is driving climate change and what we can do.
In July, Denver and the northern Front Range failed to meet the national air quality standards for ozone amid a nine-day streak of ozone pollution alerts. Lindsey Anderson, a CU 鶹 atmospheric chemist, offers her perspective on why this is important.
