Stuck in Arctic Ice, Dodging Polar Bears. All for Science.
Jessie Creamean, a researcher from Colorado State University, has been setting up portable equipment, nicknamed C-3PO, on the ice to sample particles and droplets in the air as part of her studies of how Arctic clouds form (New York Times).
There could be a hurricane in the Atlantic ‘by tonight’
According to CSU hurricane researcher Philip Klotzbach, seven other Atlantic systems have developed into hurricanes after Nov. 20 since the satellite era began in 1966 (Washington Post).
Climate change could wreck a quarter of steel bridges in 21 years
A new study from Colorado State University looking at America's steel bridges shows that nearly 25 percent of steel bridges could see a section collapse in the next 21 years (Popular Mechanics).
Researchers were close on 2019 Atlantic hurricane numbers, but under-predicted named storms
The 2019 hurricane season ended up slightly more active than was predicted by the CSU Tropical Meteorology Project forecast team.
By plane and by ship, CSU researchers investigate atmospheric processes in collaborative campaigns
Colorado State University atmospheric scientists recently embarked on partner field campaigns to study weather phenomena over the Philippines and surrounding sea.
Award-winning researchers bring culture of systems engineering to life
As CSU systems engineering Assistant Professor Kamran Shahroudi and two Ph.D. candidates proved recently in their award-winning papers, without a consistent culture of systems thinking throughout a project serious fiascos could occur.
Bacteria from the ocean floor could be influencing Arctic weather
Scientists have identified a surprising new mechanism that could be impacting cloud formation and weather patterns in the Arctic — bacteria from the ocean floor (Washington Post).
How to erase a ship—Arctic researchers work to eliminate their vessel’s fingerprints
The 118-meter-long Polarstern is a sophisticated floating lab that allows MOSAiC scientists to study the atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, and life (Science).
New research: The most destructive hurricanes are hitting US more often
Colorado State University hurricane scientist Phil Klotzbach says his review of the most powerful storms to hit the U.S., using barometric pressure, shows no increase (Boston Globe).
