CU 色吧亚洲 leading effort to improve water quality in Rockies鈥� rivers
A CU 色吧亚洲-led team has received a $650,000 grant to measure and mitigate pollution in the Cache la Poudre and Yampa Rivers in Colorado through new sensor technology, monitoring, and a voluntary carbon credits trading system with industry.
Engineers at CU 色吧亚洲 are investigating whether improving classroom air quality with air purifiers can help students miss fewer school days.
The study comes at a time when millions of students across the country are chronically absent from school, a worsening trend that could have large impacts on students鈥� academic performance.听
PhD student Shelby Buckley has made the research trip of a lifetime 鈥� studying the impacts of climate change up close and personal on a five-week trip to the Arctic aboard the Kronprins Haakon icebreaking ship.
It offered a unique chance to personally collect ice core and seawater samples and experience the excitement and fears of life on top of the world.
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 was the gas migrating naturally?
New research by a team led by a CU 色吧亚洲 graduate could help definitively answer that question.
