Soil microbes that thrive in the deserts, rainforests, prairies and forests of the world can also be found living beneath New York City鈥檚 Central Park, according to a surprising new study led by Colorado State University and the University of Colorado Boulder. The research team analyzed 596 soil samples collected from across Central Park鈥檚 843 acres and discovered a stunning diversity of below-ground life, most of which had never been documented before.

The perception that Colorado鈥檚 Front Range wildfires are becoming increasingly severe does not hold much water scientifically, according to a massive new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder and Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif.

Pioneering genomics researcher J. Craig Venter鈥攂est known for leading the privately funded team that sequenced the first human genome鈥攚ill give a keynote talk at the University of Colorado Boulder on Sept. 29 about the scientific potential of and future products derived from 鈥渟ynthetic life.鈥�

A NASA mission to Mars led by the University of Colorado Boulder is set to slide into orbit around the red planet Sept. 21 to investigate how its climate has changed over the eons, completing a 10-month interplanetary journey of 442 million miles. The orbit-insertion maneuver will begin with six thruster engines firing to shed some of the velocity from the spacecraft, known as the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN mission. The thruster engines will ignite and burn for 33 minutes to slow the spacecraft, allowing it to be captured into an elliptical orbit around Mars.
