- Increasing Arctic freshwater is driven by climate change Fri, 31 Jul 20, 7:00pmNew, first-of-its-kind research from the University of Colorado Boulder shows that climate change is driving increasing amounts of freshwater in the Arctic Ocean.
- Scientists warn of more severe earthquakes in 2018 as Earth's rotation slows Wed, 22 Nov 17, 1:45amYou wouldn't have felt it, but sometimes the Earth's rotation slows down. Sure, the fluctuations are minute - maybe a millisecond here or there. But two geophysicists think there could be more destructive quakes next year...
- Scientists Discover Star Trek-Like Invisible Shield Protects Earth from ‘Killer Electrons’ Sat, 29 Nov 14, 4:30amShields up! A team from the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered an "invisible shield" approximately 7,200 miles above Earth. The shield reportedly blocks so-called “killer electrons” that travel around the...
- Claim: Last 100 years may be warmest in 120,000 years in the Arctic, but not so fast (UPDATED) Fri, 25 Oct 13, 3:27pmFrom the University of Colorado at Boulder, comes this study about radiocarbon dating some dead moss clumps exposed from under ice/snow at 4 locations on Baffin Island that somehow proves “unprecedented” warmth...

- CU-Boulder Study Finds ‘Unprecedented’ Warming in Eastern Canadian Arctic Fri, 25 Oct 13, 6:00amA new University of Colorado Boulder study reveals a level of warming in the Eastern Canadian Arctic that likely hasn't been seen since the end of the last interglacial period 120,000 years ago...
- Photonics Breakthrough Could Lead to Blazingly Fast Electronics Tue, 8 Oct 13, 1:14amA recent development in the world of silicon photonics (that's technology using optical rays for the layperson) means that computer speeds could really begin to skyrocket...

- Using a climate model to map global atmospheric conductivity Sat, 5 Oct 13, 5:43amFrom the University of Colorado at Boulder CU-Boulder researchers use climate model to better understand electricity in the air Electrical currents born from thunderstorms are able to flow through the atmosphere and around...
- Black Carbon Soot shrank the 19th century glaciers – but why isn’t it listed as a culprit today? Thu, 5 Sep 13, 10:00amFrom the University of Colorado at Boulder comes this press release and accompanying photo. The photo, showing hazy pollution laden air in the Bernese Alps, makes me wonder why they don’t attribute current glacier ice...
- Claim: Faint Young Sun Paradox solved Wed, 10 Jul 13, 11:25amFrom the University of Colorado at Boulder a claim that computer modeling has solved the problem, with an atmosphere that is 20,000 parts per million of CO2 and 1,000 ppm of methane...
- NOAA exaggerates 2012 Greenland Ice Mass Loss by 10x Thu, 27 Jun 13, 6:45am[UPDATE: Several commenters, including myself, have remarked on a mathematical error in the author's work. I note this here in the expectation that the author will return to clarify and perhaps amend his claims. Having made...
- Weather, not climate, caused the brief surface melt in Greenland last summer Thu, 4 Apr 13, 11:14amReaders may recall the breathless wailing over a brief period of surface melt detected by satellites last year. The way the media and alarmists who drive the media behaved, you’d think that global warming had set the...

- Alaska’s Columbia Glacier expected to halt retreat in 2020 Wed, 28 Nov 12, 1:20amFrom the University of Colorado at Boulder more model output, but at least this is a testable hypothesis in the not too distant future. It also points to the fact that there is not a definitive linear relationship between...
