A new study finds that prescribed burns may release substantially less carbon dioxide than wildfires of the same size.
The reddish glow from the city lights of Boulder, Colo.
The smell of sea salt in the air is a romanticized feature of life along a seacoast. Now, researchers have found that this chemistry occurs at similar rates in air above Boulder, Colo., nearly 900 miles away from any ocean.
The Monteverde golden toad
Scientists broadly agree that global warming may threaten the survival of many plant and animal species; but global warming did not kill the Monteverde golden toad.
Mountains with snow.
March 19, 2010 | A new study has verified that the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model can depict seasonal snowfall in Colorado with a high degree of accuracy. The research could be especially useful to scientists studying the impacts of climate change on water resources in the western United States.
Salt Lake City skyline obscured by air pollution.
February 25, 2010 | The greater Salt Lake City area is known for harboring some of the most polluted air in the country during the winter. A team of NCAR researchers is gearing up to collaborate on a study of the winter weather inversions that cause the city's poor air quality. The research is expected to be applicable to other cities that experience similar atmospheric conditions.
