A new INSTAAR study shows significant amounts of dissolved black carbon can persist in both pristine and non-pristine areas of snow around the world.
Stefan Leyk isn't much of an ornithologist, but the associate professor's geographical savvy did help lead to a startling study in how climate change is altering tree-leafing dates faster than birds are adapting.
Researchers from NIST and CU Boulder have demonstrated a new mobile, ground-based system that could scan and map atmospheric gas plumes.
A new study by CU Boulder researchers found that when San Luis Valley farmers imposed a well-pumping tax on themselves, they slashed use by a third and farmed more sustainably.
Earlier this month, INSTAAR researchers tookĀ their annual snow survey in theĀ Green Lakes Valley,Ā part of the city of Boulder watershed.Ā TheĀ measurements are important for the state's water and fire management agencies.
