A global study organized and led by Colorado State University scientists shows that the effects of extreme drought – which is expected to increase in frequency with climate change – has been greatly underestimated for grasslands and shrublands.
NASA recently allocated funding for space biology research, with a portion designated for Associate Professor Graham Peers in the CSU Department of Biology, focusing on lunar agriculture.
Colorado State University researcher, Sean Cascarina, delves into the significant implications of self-referencing while presenting insights gleaned from his study on the subject.
Researchers at Colorado State University and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have developed an effective and flexible antimicrobial material that could be used to coat medical devices placed inside the body.
Researchers at Colorado State University are making advances in understanding the links between socioeconomic status, sleep and brain development in children. Their approach combines MRI scans of brain structure and function with family surveys on aspects like household income and economic hardship, which can often influence children’s sleep patterns.
The 2023 EnviBayes Workshop at CSU explored innovative approaches within environmental statistics, aiming to address challenges in handling complex environmental data while promoting collaboration and the exchange of knowledge.
Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a new class of recyclable polymers that could replace common single-use plastics with a large environmental footprint like grocery bags.
Mia Dischner has been awarded the Voyager Scholarship by the Obama Foundation and Airbnb, and plans to use the scholarship to pursue her passion for addressing food insecurity.
The findings, published in Science Advances, show that wildfire smoke can attach to home surfaces like carpet, drapes or counters – extending the exposure for those inside and potentially causing health problems even after an initial cleaning activity by air purifiers. However, Professor Delphine Farmer said the research also shows that simple surface cleaning – like vacuuming, dusting or mopping – can reduce exposure and limit risk.
Marissa Martinez, a first-year biology student at CSU, recipient of the renowned Boettcher Scholarship and proud Hispanic student, arrived at CSU in the fall of 2023, bringing with her a wealth of cultural and scientific knowledge.
