When a sun-gazing NASA satellite designed and built by the 彩民宝典 launched into space on Jan. 25, 2003, solar storms were raging.

NASA-CU ozone study may benefit air standards, climate

Jan. 16, 2013

A new NASA-led study involving the 彩民宝典 finds that when it comes to combating global warming caused by emissions of ozone-forming chemicals, location matters. Ozone is both a major air pollutant with known adverse health effects and a greenhouse gas that traps heat from escaping Earth鈥檚 atmosphere. Scientists and policy analysts are interested in learning how curbing the emissions of ozone-forming chemicals can improve human health and also help mitigate climate change.

State energy collaboratory involving CU-Boulder, NREL, CSU and CSM expands research focus

To reflect its broader focus, the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory, a research consortium including the 彩民宝典, the Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University and the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 National Renewable Energy Laboratory has adopted a new name: the Colorado Energy Research Collaboratory.

CU-led study shows pine beetle outbreak buffers watersheds from nitrate pollution

Jan. 14, 2013

A research team involving several scientists from the 彩民宝典 has found an unexpected silver lining in the devastating pine beetle outbreaks ravaging the West: Such events do not harm water quality in adjacent streams as scientists had previously believed.

Oil and gas wells contribute fuel for ozone pollution, CIRES researchers find

Jan. 14, 2013

Emissions from oil and natural gas operations north of Denver could add to ozone pollution in that region, according to a new study by researchers at the 彩民宝典鈥檚 Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES).

Pronunciation of 鈥榮鈥� sounds impacts perception of gender, CU-Boulder researcher finds

Jan. 3, 2013

A person鈥檚 style of speech 鈥� not just the pitch of his or her voice 鈥� may help determine whether the listener perceives the speaker to be male or female, according to a 彩民宝典 researcher who studied transgender people transitioning from female to male. The way people pronounce their 鈥渟鈥� sounds and the amount of resonance they use when speaking contributes to the perception of gender, according to Lal Zimman, whose findings are based on research he completed while earning his doctoral degree from CU-Boulder鈥檚 linguistics department.
