Professor Emeritus Marc Bekoff shares his decades of research on the emotional lives of animals and how it could influence wildlife management.
In a CU Boulder-led study, scientists describe how different traits used to choose mates in barn swallow populations are driving the bird to diverge, which could eventually lead to the formation of new species.
A high-tech laser measured gases produced by cattle on a Kansas feedlot. The results may help mitigate future cattle emissions.
From Dec. 9 to 13, tens of thousands of people from more than 100 countries will gather in Washington D.C. for the 2024 meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
Scientists demonstrate how a series of extreme weather events could lead to the Arctic’s first ice-free day within just a few years.
Fossil fuel energy has a history of unfair impacts, like displacing marginalized communities and causing health problems. If the shift to renewable energy isn’t done carefully and fairly, it could continue or worsen economic and racial injustices for the communities most affected by climate change.
New research from INSTAAR doctoral student Samuel Mogen, Director Nicole Lovenduski and collaborators could help protect marine life. Their model is the first-ever forecasting tool for ocean acidification.
The reelection of Donald Trump could set back global efforts to address climate change, but CU Boulder’s Max Boykoff suggests it may not completely derail clean energy progress.
In an era of dwindling glaciers, Southern Patagonia has managed to hold on to a surprising amount of its ice. However, a new INSTAAR study suggests this protective effect might be pushed up against its limits soon.
A series of rocks hiding around Colorado's Rocky Mountains hold clues to a frigid period in Earth's past when glaciers several miles thick may have covered the entire planet.
