Remote Sensing
Science, engineering and nature are coming together for Colorado high school students at a unique summer camp. The 2019 CU Science Discovery Mountain Research Experience, a weeklong sleepaway camp program is a chance for kids to learn about the possibilities of scientific...
New research by Xinzhao Chu, a professor of Smead Aerospace and the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, and her team shows gravity waves above Antarctica exhibit seasonal patterns that peak in winter, which could help
Antarctica is one of Earth’s most forbidding places. That’s why CU researchers keep going back. Ian Geraghty (AeroEngr’18) spent his first season in Antarctica in 2017. Now a research assistant at CU, he’s part of an
The pattern of uneven sea level rise over the last quarter century has been driven in part by human-caused climate change, not just natural variability, according to a new study. The findings suggest that regions of the world where seas have risen
CIRES’ Chu research group poses with emblems during LIDAR deployment in Antarctica. For more information, contact Xinzhao Chu Professor, Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences 
A NASA-funded cube satellite built and operated by researchers will study the inner radiation belt of Earth’s magnetosphere, providing new insight into the energetic particles that can disrupt satellites and threaten spacewalking
A research team led by aerospace professor Steve Nerem detects an acceleration in the 25-year satellite sea level record. Global sea level rise is not cruising along at a steady 3 mm per year, it’s accelerating a little every year, like a
Congratulations to aerospace professor Kristine Larson for being awarded an honorary doctorate from the Chalmers University of Technology! Located in Gothenburg, Sweden, Chalmers is known for its engineering education and research
A team led by has found the mechanism behind the sudden onset of a “natural thermostat” in Earth’s upper atmosphere that dramatically cools the air after it has been heated by violent solar activity. Scientists have known that solar
