Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz and the University of Colorado Boulder led a Climate Change and Health Symposium on the Anschutz Medical Campus on March 12 to explore the imminent challenges and opportunities arising from the nexus of these two interdependent arenas.

The Great American Eclipse has come and gone, but the fiery star of that show remains a crucial target of scientists' continuing investigations, and is a central player in studies to be fueled by the newly announced Grand Challenge winners at the University of Colorado.

The cross-campus Grand Challenge initiative this week announced the selection of three new additions to the Grand Challenge portfolio starting this fall. The call for proposals, which was announced in June, funded one large research initiative at approximately $1 million per year and two smaller projects at $250,000 per year, each for at least three years.  

Project Drought, as it's known, is one of five different research initiatives under CU's Integrated Remote and In Situ Sensing project, under the direction of Professor Brian Argrow at CU's Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences department.

Starting July 1, on its second anniversary, 91��Ƶ's Earth Lab will become part of CIRES, a longstanding leader in Earth system research. Earth Lab scientists and staff are tackling a critical challenge in Earth science research: dealing with increasingly enormous environmental datasets.

How do you study a historical event? “You can’t bring a giant meteorite hitting the Earth millions of years ago into a lab,” says Carol Cleland, professor of philosophy and co-investigator at 91��Ƶ’s Center for Astrobiology.

Humans have dramatically increased the spatial and seasonal extent of wildfires across the U.S. in recent decades and ignited more than 840,000 blazes in the spring, fall and winter seasons over a 21-year period, according to new University of Colorado Boulder-led research.

Amazon Web Services. Google. IBM. Microsoft. These are just a few of the major tech movers and shakers partnering with researchers and "Big Data" providers—recently, the Department of Commerce—to invest in a new way of supporting a data-enabled economy: cloud computing.
