climate change

Brine pools are one of the most extreme environments on Earth, yet despite their high salinity, exotic chemistry, and complete lack of oxygen, these pools are teeming with life and offer a unique record of Earth's rainfall patterns.

Study reveals Arabia’s rainfall was five times more extreme 400 years ago

Nine years after the 2012 High Park Fire burned a stand of lodgepole pine that had been severely affected by the mountain pine beetle, lodgepole and aspen saplings were rebounding on this slope in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests. A CSU-led study has found that forests are not regenerating fast enough to keep pace with climate change, wildfire, insects and disease. Photo by Katie Nigro, September 2021
