It is as seemingly inevitable as the wildfires that burn hotter and longer each summer: Smoke from distant (or, in some cases, nearby) fires floats into the mid-valley and can linger for days or weeks.
Colleagues, friends, family and former students of Professor Emeritus Wayne Schubert gathered July 27 at the Department of Atmospheric Science to honor the scientist’s “retirement,” or lack of it. After 45 years with the department, Schubert has no intention of leaving research or the department.
The next big advances in computer memory, digital storage and other electronics are going to come from very small places: the spins of individual electrons.
A mobile chemistry lab built on an airplane is about to take flight, helping us learn more about the chemical composition of wildfire smoke.
The model could add to the strategic toolbox that protects lives and livelihoods from destructive fires.
Applications for such robots include search and rescue, surveillance and environmental monitoring.
A new study by Colorado State University researchers could lead to more effective landfill-based management of varied waste streams.
Producing and transporting natural gas releases methane, a greenhouse gas that also contributes to climate change. How big is the methane problem?
Ellison Carter is conducting a study to learn more about the impacts of air pollution from household use of solid fuels in rural regions of Beijing, China.
Temperatures at the surface of the tropical Atlantic Ocean have become remarkably colder than normal. The cold water could have profound impacts on this year’s hurricane season, since warm water is the fuel source for tropical storms.
