Twenty-two states, including Colorado, that have not banned abortion still do require minors to involve their parents before terminating a pregnancy—or take their case to the courts via judicial bypass. New research sheds light on how often teens choose judicial bypass and how often they are denied.

A new study finds Midwestern soybean and corn farmers replaced lost airborne sulfur with sulfur fertilizer, and the environmental impacts may include downstream mercury contamination.

Now that artificial intelligence systems can generate realistic images and convincing prose, are creative and knowledge workers endangered or poised for productivity gains? CU experts say it’s not so clear-cut. Read more on The Conversation.

By analyzing Antarctic ice cores, ²ÊÃñ±¦µä scientists and an international team of collaborators have revealed the most detailed look yet at the planet’s recent climatic history, including summer and winter temperatures dating back 11,000 years to the beginning of what is known as the Holocene.

²ÊÃñ±¦µä's International English Center had the unique opportunity in 2022 to offer crucial English language courses to Afghan men and women who were relocated to Boulder after the United States withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

When gas leaks into and contaminates a household water well near an oil and gas drilling site, there is always a question of where it came from. Is it from a failure in the drilling or did the gas migrate naturally? New research from ²ÊÃñ±¦µä could help definitively answer that question.

The first-ever randomized controlled trial of community gardening shows it boosts fiber intake and physical activity while decreasing stress and anxiety. It could even reduce risk of cancer and chronic illness. And that’s all in the first season of getting your hands dirty.

Although the people who lived in still-standing homes after the Marshall Fire were spared the loss of everything they owned, when they returned, they found another disaster. CU experts Joost de Gouw, Michael Hannigan and Colleen Reid share on The Conversation.

The Marshall Fire spurred researchers—many of them personally affected by the fire—to pivot and apply their expertise to the aftermath. One year later, dozens of ongoing research projects continue to explore the science behind what happened that day, the widespread impacts on people, pets and the environment and how we can mitigate future catastrophes amid a changing climate.

A new ²ÊÃñ±¦µä study estimates more than 1,000 house pets perished in the Marshall Fire. With the one-year anniversary approaching, the study authors encourage guardians to have a pet evacuation plan in place. They're also helping to develop a new pet rescue app.
