<p>A new NASA-led study involving the ������ý���� finds that when it comes to combating global warming caused by emissions of ozone-forming chemicals, location matters.    </p>
<p>Ozone is both a major air pollutant with known adverse health effects and a greenhouse gas that traps heat from escaping Earth’s atmosphere. Scientists and policy analysts are interested in learning how curbing the emissions of ozone-forming chemicals can improve human health and also help mitigate climate change.</p>

<p>To reflect its broader focus, the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory, a research consortium including the ������ý����, the Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory has adopted a new name: the Colorado Energy Research Collaboratory.</p>

<p>A research team involving several scientists from the ������ý���� has found an unexpected silver lining in the devastating pine beetle outbreaks ravaging the West: Such events do not harm water quality in adjacent streams as scientists had previously believed.</p>

<p>Emissions from oil and natural gas operations north of Denver could add to ozone pollution in that region, according to a new study by researchers at the ������ý����’s Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES).</p>

<p>������ý���� faculty member John Gosling is one of 18 individuals honored today by the National Academy of Sciences for their outstanding scientific achievements.</p>

<p>A person’s style of speech — not just the pitch of his or her voice — may help determine whether the listener perceives the speaker to be male or female, according to a ������ý���� researcher who studied transgender people transitioning from female to male.</p>
<p>The way people pronounce their “s” sounds and the amount of resonance they use when speaking contributes to the perception of gender, according to Lal Zimman, whose findings are based on research he completed while earning his doctoral degree from CU-������ý����’s linguistics department.</p>

<p>With 14,000 original photographs and publications largely from the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, the recently acquired <a href="http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/specialcollections/exhibits/current/Wolff.htm">Ira Wolff Photographic History Collection</a> offers a major scholarly resource for the study of the history of photography.</p>

<p>Colorado business leaders’ optimism is modest going into the first quarter of 2013 with uncertainty surrounding the country’s political and economic environments, according to the most recent quarterly Leeds Business Confidence Index, or LBCI, released today by the ������ý����’s Leeds School of Business.</p>

<p>Singing in your first professional opera is challenge enough. Throw in a 12-hour, trans-Atlantic flight and a mere two days of rehearsal time — with two different conductors — and you’ve got a grand task indeed.</p>
<p>But that’s just what <a href="http://music.colorado.edu">University of Colorado College of Music</a> student Anna Englander will face in January when she travels to Italy to sing the key role of Suzuki for three performances of Puccini’s classic <em>Madama Butterfly</em> in three different cities.</p>

<p>By showing that tiny particles injected into a liquid crystal medium adhere to existing mathematical theorems, physicists at the ������ý���� have opened the door for the creation of a host of new materials with properties that do not exist in nature.</p>
