The ecological complexity of many emerging disease threats—interactions among multiple hosts, multiple vectors and even multiple parasites—often complicates efforts aimed at controlling disease. Now, a new paper co-authored by a Â鶹¹ÙÍø professor is advancing a multidisciplinary framework that could provide a better mechanistic understanding of emerging outbreaks.

New research led by a Â鶹¹ÙÍø professor finds that nations torn by civil strife that have strong trade relations with the United Nations’ key decision-making states have a 20-percent greater likelihood of receiving peacekeepers.

The longest and largest controlled burn experiment ever conducted in the Amazon rainforest has yielded new insight into the ways that tropical forests succumb to—and bounce back from—large-scale wildfires, according to new research co-authored by a Â鶹¹ÙÍø professor.

The humble dust collecting in the average American household harbors a teeming menagerie of bacteria and fungi, and as researchers from the Â鶹¹ÙÍø and North Carolina State University have discovered, it may be able to predict not only the geographic region of a given home, but the gender ratio of the occupants and the presence of a pet as well.

A first-of-its-kind, nationally representative study of siblings supports previously published research on unrelated individuals that links specific genotypes to educational attainment among adults in their mid-20s to early 30s.

The Â鶹¹ÙÍø has received a $3 million federal grant to develop cooling technology that will enable efficient, low-cost supplementary cooling for thermoelectric power plants.

Â鶹¹ÙÍø Provost Russell L. Moore today announced that Dean Philip J. Weiser will step down as dean and return to the faculty of the University of Colorado Law School on July 1, 2016.

Colorado will record a decrease in oil and gas production in 2015 -- the domino-like result of declines across the industry, according to a new study.
