The new international annual review of the world’s climate showed that 2023 was the warmest year on record. A CU Boulder scientist weighs in on how the rising global greenhouse gas concentration is driving climate change and what we can do.
Establishing Key Biodiversity Areas in the Southern Ocean will be vital for safeguarding the ecosystem from the impact of human activities, CU Boulder researchers say.
Extreme weather is straining the country’s aging power grid from Texas to Colorado and California. Kyri Baker, who studies infrastructure, offers her perspective on what the grid of the future could look like.
A new analysis sheds light on major shortfalls of a recently proposed approach to capture CO2 from air and directly convert it to fuel using electricity. The authors also provide a new, more sustainable, alternative.
A new study suggests that the U.S. government’s push to increase heavy-duty trucks’ energy efficiency could encourage more shipping by truck instead of rail, reducing the policies’ anticipated effectiveness by 20%.
