Are mountains carbon dioxide sources or sinks? New study finds they can be both
A new study has found that mountains can be carbon dioxide sources or sinks and has identified the tipping point at which they switch from one to the other.
Apex predators not a quick fix for restoring ecosystems, 20-year CSU study finds
A 20-year experiment in Yellowstone has found that removal of apex predators including wolves from an ecosystem can create lasting changes that might not be reversed after they return.
New 66-million-year history of carbon dioxide offers little comfort for today
A massive new review of ancient atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels and corresponding temperatures lays out a daunting picture of where the Earth’s climate may be headed. The study covers geologic records spanning the past 66 million years, putting present-day concentrations into context with deep time.
Busy Beavers: Students collaborate and learn valuable skills by restoring nature
Collaborative partnerships between Colorado State University and local environmental organizations are vital to successful restoration projects. Ecological restoration aims to initiate or accelerate the recovery of an ecosystem that has been disturbed, often by phenomena like fire, flooding, damming rivers or over-grazing.
Study: Light pollution is luring birds to cities – and sometimes to their deaths
In the largest study of its kind, scientists used weather radar data to map bird stopover density in the United States and found that artificial light is a top indicator of where birds will land.
CSU faculty contribute to most comprehensive assessment of climate change in U.S.
Four Colorado State University faculty members co-authored chapters in the Fifth National Climate Assessment, a state-of-the-science, congressionally mandated report intended to inform decision-making.
The sound of injustice: Inequitable urban noise impacts people, wildlife
Colorado State University acoustic ecologists found that redlined, or marginalized, communities have more and louder urban noise, which has been linked to negative consequences for people and wildlife.
$2.5M grant supports university work with Peru park service to help protect Amazon rainforest
Colorado State University will co-lead an initiative that supports the work of Peru’s national park service in collaboration with Wake Forest University and the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. The $2.5 million effort funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation will help Peruvian park managers reduce the impacts of climate change, extraction and infrastructure in Peru’s Amazon.
Simple technique helps ranchers and threatened sage grouse weather drought
A low-tech method developed by Colorado State University and partners has revolutionized how federal agencies, conservation organizations and ranchers restore degraded meadows and ranchlands across the West.
Seismology records growing rumble of climate change
Since the late 1980s, seismic stations around the world have been taking the planet’s pulse. The low, steady thrum of ocean waves – once considered background noise by seismologists – has been intensifying since the late 20th century, according to a study led by Colorado State University.
