Robert Brakenridge has spent decades trying to understand how distant exploding stars may have affected Earth's atmosphere in the past. A new analysis indicates the need for continued research in the field.
At a regional plenary of the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit, co-sponsored by CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß, speakers called for action that centers human stories, local wisdom and nature-based solutions to break the cycle of environmental injustice.
A field campaign on an Oklahoma feedlot that aimed to measure aerosols in the atmosphere yielded surprising results.
American honeybee colonies have declined by more than 60% this year. A CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß entomologist is racing to find a solution.
